Auburn AD sent letter to fans blaming former Coach Tubberville for team struggles

By Kevin Scarbinsky

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama - Like a lot of athletics directors, Auburn's Jay Jacobs likes to stay in touch with his fan base through periodic newsletters in which he touches on a variety of topics.

Jacobs' latest communication Wednesday included one of his favorite talking points: Blaming former coach Tommy Tuberville for the youth and inexperience on this year's football team.

Jacobs didn't name Tuberville. He never does, but he doesn't have to when he makes the following statements:

"Our youth and inexperience is not an excuse. It is a fact. Consider the following: Auburn signed a total of 58 players in the 2007 and 2008 recruiting classes (the classes that are this year's fourth- and fifth-year seniors). Only nine players from those two classes remain. Roughly half of the players who signed in 2007 and 2008 either never enrolled at Auburn, quit or transferred."

True, and who signed the 2007 and 2008 Auburn classes? Tuberville. Those were his last two classes at Auburn before taking a year off and then taking over at Texas Tech.

"Auburn has seven seniors on its two-deep depth chart," Jacobs wrote. "We know from last year's success that a large class of fourth- and fifth-year seniors is crucial for success. By comparison, the first four teams that we play in October (South Carolina, Arkansas, Florida and LSU) have an average of 14 seniors on their two-deep depth chart."

OK, but who signed the 20-something seniors on Auburn's 2010 BCS championship team? Tuberville. In addition to blaming him for this year's struggles, Auburn should also congratulate him for leaving behind the core of its title team.

Give Jacobs credit for being consistent. He didn't wait until Auburn had its 17-game winning streak snapped at Clemson to come to the defense of Gene Chizik. The AD made the same points in a speech last week in Birmingham. He hit the same theme in a conversation we had in August of 2010. Everyone who was paying attention since Chizik got the job could see that 2011 would be his toughest season in terms of rebuilding the roster.

"Even though we face an enormous challenge the remainder of the season given our youth and inexperience, the future is bright for Auburn football," Jacobs wrote. "Fifty-six of the past 57 players who signed with Auburn the last two years in back-to-back top-five national classes qualified academically. That bodes well for the future."

That means no excuses for next year and beyond. As for the present, is it me, or did Jacobs just about write off the rest of this season? At some point, don't you have to stop talking about how young and inexperienced your players are and start watching them grow up?

It is a few days old, but I didn't hear about it until Saturday. Way to keep blaming someone else for your problems Jacobs.

Didn't they just win a NC with Tubberville's recruits (minus Cammy)?
