I don't see it working out, and if it does it will take at least 3 years to get the players and schemes working. tech ran a west coast offense w/ no defense, which is the exact opposite that tuberville ran at auburn.
According to an article I read earlier today, Tuberville already told the administration that he doesn't plan to switch the offensive scheme. He still plans to run the wide-open spread offense Leach ran, though I have to wonder if anyone else on the staff can really do that for a prolonged period. If I remember correctly, Leach had already installed the gameplan for the Alamo Bowl, and the remaining coaches more or less followed the directions he left.
I also doubt Tuberville can succeed if he's already making concessions like this. Coaches don't generally like to keep all the old staff around.
Tuberville is an EXCELLENT coach, IMO. If they trust him, he'll lead them well. If they handcuff him and try to make him the new "pirate king", he'll be done in three years, and that won't be fair.

I'm happy with their decision. I think he will be a good fit for the program. He has stated numerous times that he wants to keep the offense headed in the same direction just with a "few new wrinkles". He has been asking about the size of the backs and the mobility of the QB's alot, so I assume he wants to incorporate some more running into the air-rair attack we've been using almost exclusively (a great call IMO!)
He has said that the defense will be a total turn-over with all new staff and expectations. That's great because our defense has been mediocre at best the last 10+ years!
Tuberville is a fundamental coach, who wants the basics down before getting fancy. We need to be more disciplined (good, because we've been one of the highest penalized teams in the nation every year in the recent years). He'll be good for the program

I think it is a good call and agree with the above points. I was really afraid tech would not be able to attract a top tier coach after this fiasco, glad to see I was wrong...
