The odds I am giving for Auburn's head coach Tommy Tuberville to become the next head coach at Texas A&M are now at 51%. The increase in Tommy's odds are a result of his reaction to the rumor mill. He is "sure there'll be some discussion over the next few weeks" and believes all the rumors are "just part of the business." That is coach speak for, "I am out of here bitches."

Aggies remember this sort of reaction. Billy G would never come right out and say (to the media, everyone knows he lied to his players), "no, I am not leaving for KU" or "yes, I will be coaching here next year" because, well, he was leaving for KU and would not be coaching the Aggies in the following season.

Tommy's odds are not higher because there is no connection between $Bill and Tuberville, and recent history shows $Bill likes to hire his guys. We should look back at Oregon and Nebraska to see what the coordinators of those teams are doing now. That is a lot of research, good thing I took the day off work...
