Tommy Tuberville

Thomas Hawley Tuberville (born September 18, 1954) is an American football coach and former player. He is currently the head football coach at Texas Tech University, a position he has held since the 2010 season. Tuberville served as the head football coach at the University of Mississippi from 1995 to 1998 and at Auburn University from 1999 until December 3, 2008, when he resigned from the position after completing his tenth season.

Tuberville was the 2004 recipient of the Walter Camp and Paul Bryant Coach of the Year awards after Auburn's 13–0 season, in which his team won the Southeastern Conference title and the Sugar Bowl, but was left out of the BCS National Championship Game. Tuberville earned his 100th career win on October 6, 2007 in a 35–7 victory over Vanderbilt. He is the only coach in Auburn football history to beat in-state rival Alabama six consecutive times.

In 2011, Tuberville was elected second vice president of the American Football Coaches Association. According to AFCA tradition, he will move up to first vice president in 2012 and president in 2013.
