In 2004, Tommy Tuberville led Auburn to its best season ever
as the Tigers won a school record 13 games and captured the SEC
Championship and the NOKIA Sugar Bowl title. Auburn won its first
conference title since 1989 and its first outright championship
since 1987.
Auburn defeated five top 15 teams in the process, becoming just
the 10th NCAA Division I-A team to finish 13-0 or better. The
Tigers earned their first ever berth in a Bowl Championship Series
game and defeated Virginia Tech, 16-13 in the Sugar Bowl. For
his efforts, Tuberville was named the AFCA, Associated Press,
Paul "Bear" Bryant, SEC, and Walter Camp Coach of the
Year.
In six seasons at Auburn, Tuberville has built a program that
excels both on and off the field.
