Tubby to Auburn?


We came across an interesting tidbit while scanning the Internets for news this morning. Dennis Dodd of CBSSports.com is reporting that Auburn is "Close to hiring" current Minnesota Basketball Coach Tubby Smith. This should be interesting as Smith prepares his Gophers to play in the NCAA Tournament.

Dodd's story on cbssports.com is RIGHT HERE

If this is true, it would be "Interesting". The Tigers, who fired coach Jeff Lebo after their season ended may be looking to make a splash to open up their new arena. Smith, who has plenty of history in the SEC at Georgia and Kentucky would probably be a good fit in an SEC that ain't what it used to be in Basketball.

Normally, we try to avoid rumors but this one is pretty intriguing. The OSG will be canvassing our sources down on the Plains to see if there really is something to this and let yet know when we do.

Here is some video of Tubby at the beginning of his current job in Minnesota. Thanks mndailyonline/You Tube:
