Sports Digest: Tuberville steps down as Auburn coach

Tommy Tuberville stepped down yesterday after 10years as coach of Auburn. Tuberville went 85-40 with Auburn, including a 13-0 season in 2004 when the Tigers finished No.2 in the nation and won the Southeastern Conference title for the first time in 15 years. But Auburn went 5-7 this year, and the Tigers' worst season in 10 years ended Saturday with a 36-0 loss to No.1 Alabama. "The last 10 years have been a great time in my life, both professionally and personally," Tuberville said in a statement. "It's been a great place to coach and live, and we've had a lot of success along the way." Tuberville signed a two-year contract extension through 2013 after last season that was worth about $3.3million annually. It also included a $6 million buyout if he was fired after this season. Auburn's statement said the buyout will be paid.
