Tuberville and Gus both had some good arse teams. Chizik was bad and the 2010 team was a joke outside of Cam and Nick Fairley, which is a testament to how amazing those 2 were. I would give a slight edge to Tuberville over Gus.

Seems a little harsh. We had a solid offensive line, a five star running back, and a few guys that had good careers in the NFL on defense.

People always say this, but they had Michael Dyer, who was an NFL talent but made too many poor decisions, a solid WR core (Adams, Zachary, and Blake were all good college WRs), a good offensive line (Ziemba and Pugh stand out in my mind), Lutzenkirchen (RIP), Lemonier, Bynes, Neiko Thorpe. Onterio McCallebb was an explosive change of pace back and returner. Demond Washington was an explosive returner and decent cornerback.
You’re right that many of those guys weren’t NFL talents. Many of them had some kind of physical limitation that kept them out of the NFL, but people talk about that team like it was a 6-6 team without Cam Newton. In reality, it was probably a 8-4/9-3 Citrus Bowl team without Cam.
