I find that very interesting since Tubs left Ole Miss after denying that he met with Auburn officials at an Atlanta hotel a decade ago. The fan base of the Rebels still haven't forgiven for jumping to Auburn, so it would make sense if "Wingnut" (called that because of his large ears) heads to Starkville. Tuberville going to the in-state rival of Ole Miss would make the Ole Miss fans hate him even more, which is hard to do.
And State hiring Tuberville would be a good hire for them. As much as I hate to admit it, he's a very good coach.

I remember when Tommy T left Ol' Miss for Auburn and all the ballyhoo it created. But Miss. State? Really? Is that the best he can do? That's akin to coaching high school, at least within the SEC. Maybe they are serious about turning their football program around. It would be nice to see them put a little effort into their meager music program as well.
Yes, State would be a step down in a number of different ways. He could certainly do better.
At present there aren't many good coaching jobs out there. Ole Wingnut could wait a year a get a job at a better program.
