Borges seeks to become a tree hugger (image: ESPN)
Al Borges, AU's offensive coordinator, wants to be a candidate for the Stanford job; although, no one has contacted him yet. He grew up about 75 miles from the Stanford campus. Former Michigan alum Jim Harbaugh also wants to be considered for the job. He attended Palo Alto High School, and his father was a Stanford assistant coach. Stanford, unlike Alabama, is keeping their selection process quiet.
Greg Knox is being considered for the head coaching position at Tulane. Knox coaches wide receivers at Auburn, and he has been an assistant under Tuberville since the Ole Miss days. The New Orleans paper says that Knox interviewed for the job on Thursday and Friday. Harbaugh is being considered for this job too.
Auburn running back coach Eddie Gran is in talks with North Texas about their open position. The very well traveled Gran has also been with Tuberville since Ole Miss. Gran has coached in California, Missouri, North Carolina, Miami, Idaho, Ohio, Mississippi and Alabama. His bio all but states that he has toted his pack along the long dusty Winnemucca Road.
Other than the revolving door at the coordinator positions, Tuberville's core staff has been fairly stable. Hugh Nall (OL), Terry Price (DEs), Don Dunn (DTs), Greg Knox (WRs) and Eddie Gran (RBs) have all been with Tuberville since Ole Miss. You want to know why he's been so successful? Stability is a big part of it.
Auburn's coaching instability could be UGA's gain.
