Tommy Tuberville discusses Fisher establishing culture, Auburn game

Key notes from Tommy Tuberville Interview

• Texas A&M is a great place. You have to know the high school coaches and get to know those recruits. Kevin Sumlin did leave A&M with a lot of players but they are inconsistent sometimes. You just don’t know what to expect when teams take to the road in the SEC.
   
• You know it just depends on the culture change. You’ve got to have a plan when you go in as a new coach. The good thing about Jimbo is that he’s so good at recruiting and he knew what he wanted to do. He’s run the football, gone back to a pro-style offense, etc. It’s hard to imagine that the spread offense has taken away the physical aspect of the game. All of that aside, it’s all about recruiting and finding guys who you can build your program on.
   
• Auburn is in a tailspin right now. I think they did a injustice to Gus giving him all of that money. His SEC record actually wasn’t that good. It’s so tough at a school like Auburn to uphold that contract. They are terrible on the offensive line, no other way to put it. I don’t know what Auburn team you will see show up to be honest. Both of these teams have good players at skill positions, but I think they are both trying to find their way so I expect this to be a close game.
   
• I think Kellen Mond gives A&M a huge advantage in this game. His mobility gives you a great edge being able to get out of the pocket. Stidham needs to be a pure pocket passer and I think Mond can do both. I think the best quarterback will win their team this game and I think it’s going to be Mond.
   
• There’s two defenses that I think can slow down this Alabama offense and I think they are about to play both of them. I think its LSU and then Clemson. I think LSU is going to force him out of the pocket and get hit this weekend. The defensive backs are very good at LSU. I don’t think LSU will be able to keep up with Alabama offensively, but we will see what happens.
