OK guys, I see everyone blasting him, but help me with my history on TB. I know he got on Bobby Lowder's bad side (as has Tuberville); that he went 1-5 to start the '98 season; and that he went undefeated "with Pat Dye's players" (which doesn't make much sense to me, since Dye went 5-6 and 5-5-1 in his last two years before TB arrived). The rest appears to be rumor (cheating? womanizing?) and mean nicknames for the guy.
I'm not arguing for him, and would have him nowhere near the top of my list, but I think we should judge on the facts. (He did win 20 games in a row; would have won the SEC in 1997 if not for last-minute Peyton Manning heroics; he recruited 18 future NFL players (3 first rounders); and two former players are now Miami's OC and Nebraska's HC.)
So, aside from namecalling, what's the story on him?
