<p lang="en" dir="ltr">If watching you coach taught me anything <a href="https://twitter.com/TTuberville?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@TTuberville</a>, it’s that you’re no good at sitting on a lead. That’s why you finished 5-7 and 4-8 in your last seasons at Auburn and Cincinnati. If you are too weak to debate, you do not deserve to represent the people of Alabama. <a href="https://t.co/3Jdt8XC2mG">https://t.co/3Jdt8XC2mG</a></p>

<p>Kudos to Sessions&#8217; research staff, but, guys, you&#8217;ve just scratched the surface there.  How about a video series of interviews with folks at Ole Miss and the Texas Tech recruits Tubs blew off <em>during lunch</em> after he learned he got the Cinci job?  (&#8220;Alabama voters, if he&#8217;ll do it to them, he&#8217;ll do it to you, too!&#8221;)</p>
<p>And if y&#8217;all can&#8217;t find a way to mock Tuberville over this&#8230;</p>
