“I loved living in Alabama and I wouldn’t mind living in Alabama again,” said former Auburn assistant Al Borges in 2015. News came out last week the former coach got his wish. Gus Malzahn offered the one-time offensive coordinator an analyst position and it didn’t take Borges long to accept.
Known for shepherding the 2004 team to an undefeated season, Borges’ offense was 41-9 in four seasons at Auburn but more importantly he was 4-0 against the Tigers biggest rival. I never understood why Coach Tommy Tuberville decided to replace him with Tony Franklin just days after winning the 2007 Iron Bowl.
