Auburn Tigers Head Coach   Tommy Tuberville

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.
