Who knew?
AUBURN, Ala. (AP) -- Auburn offensive coordinator Al Borges resigned after four seasons and will not coach in the Chick-fil-A Bowl against Clemson.
"After speaking with coach Tuberville for the better part of 20 minutes, it became increasingly clear that Auburn needed a new offensive coordinator," Borges said in a statement Tuesday.
Tuberville said he began searching for a new coordinator after meeting with Borges last week.
"We hope to have someone on board in the near future," he said.
The "better part of 20 minutes" is not a resignation; that is getting shown the door.
It is no secret that Auburn had some issues, often appearing very inconsistent. The problem was not the defense.
They ended the season with the best defense in the SEC allowing just 16.7 PPG. The defense kept them within one score of every loss except the blowout loss to Georgia (45-20) on November 10th in Athens.
The offense however was, in a word, awful.
9th in Points per game
10th in total yards
10th in passing yards
9th in penalty yards
11th in 3rd down conversions
That won't get it done anywhere and particularly in the SEC.
