Auburn, Tuberville Agree On New Seven Year Contract

Charles Goldberg of the Birmingham News is reporting tonight that Auburn and Tommy Tuberville have reached an agreement on a new seven-year contract. Here’s what Goldberg had to say on his blog...

Auburn University and Tommy Tuberville agreed in principle Tuesday to extend his contract to seven years, said a source familiar with negotiations between the school and the football coach.

Tuberville met with Athletics Director Jay Jacobs for much of Tuesday to discuss a variety of football-related issues. Tuberville and Jacobs are scheduled to meet again Wednesday.

Tuberville is currently in the third season of a seven-year contract that went in effect before the 2005 season.

Jacobs will make recommendations about Tuberville's contract, and other football matters, to university President Jay Gogue, who has final approval on all of the negotiations.

More details on this story will be in Wednesday's Birmingham News.

I am
so excited to hear this news. Though it isn't written in stone just yet on the final approval,I knew in my heart all along Coach Tubbs did not want to go anywhere.
Man I just wish I could be a fly on the wall to listen in on all the negotiations.

WARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR Damn Eagle Baby.

I

believe we are safe. A good Source on our Radio Talk Show here in Fla. where, I reside announced this Morning, he had duck hunted with Tommy, and knew the old Arkansas boy, And that Tommy had Text messaged him and told him he had no intentions of leaving Auburn. Of Course we all know "Money" talks and bull-$h## walks, but until we here the announcement from Tommy himself which, he does have until Dec. 31. there is no need to listen to MEDIA RUMOR, or HYPE.
I personally believe Tommy is still DA-MAN and has brought our Auburn Football Team from nothing to something over the past nine years. I am Very proud of our Team as a whole.
Only the Head Coach "Upstairs" and Tommy know what the real truth is and, where Tommy's Future is with Us.

       WARRRRRRRRRRRRRRR EAGLE Baby.
