2001 AU coaches kick off busy summer slate By Jay G. Tate Montgomery Advertiser Dressed in a polo shirt, khaki shorts and trendy sunglasses Tuesday, Auburn coach Tommy Tuberville clearly wasn't in for another day at the office. Tuberville and several other Auburn coaches were at Prattville's Capitol Hill golf course for the Coaches' Caravan, a promotional event for Auburn athletic donors. And though Tuberville spent most of the day signing autographs and shaking hands, the summer isn't exactly an easy time for the third-year coach. Being out here and having fun with Auburn people is like our chance to take a short break.
Many fans think life eases up for coaches once the season ends.
But the coaches know better. It's pretty much 12 months a year. People think that coaches are only working when they get on the field. It's not nearly that easy. Early summer is a prime recruiting period for all sports.
