On Monday, the National Football Foundation (NFF) and College Hall of Fame announced the names on the ballot of its 2024 induction class.
[autotag]Tommy Tuberville[/autotag], who coached Auburn from 1998-2008, made the ballot among eight other former FBS coaches.
Tuberville coached at the FBS level for 21 seasons and achieved a record of 159-99. Other than Auburn, he spent time at the helm of three programs: Ole Miss from 1995-1998, Texas Tech from 2010-2012, and Cincinnati from 2013-2016.
During his time on the Plains, Tuberville led Auburn to 85 wins and eight bowl-game appearances. He earned National Coach of the Year honors in 2004 after leading the Tigers to an SEC Championship and a perfect 13-0 season. He also led the Tigers to four SEC West division championships and four New Year’s Six Bowl appearances.
Tuberville’s 64 regular season SEC wins places him in 10th in the history of the conference.
After his coaching days were over, Tuberville turned his attention to politics and currently serves as one of Alabama’s U.S. Senators.
