Thomas Hawley Tuberville (born September 18, 1954) is an American football coach and former player. Tuberville served as the head football coach at the University of Mississippi from 1995 to 1998, Auburn University from 1999 until 2008, Texas Tech University from 2010 to 2012 and University of Cincinnati from 2013 to 2016.
Tuberville was the 2004 recipient of the Walter Camp and Bear Bryant Coach of the Year awards after Auburn's 13–0 season, in which his team won the Southeastern Conference title and the Sugar Bowl, but was left out of the BCS National Championship Game. Tuberville earned his 100th career win on October 6, 2007, in a 35–7 victory over Vanderbilt. He is the only coach in Auburn football history to beat in-state rival Alabama six consecutive times.
In 2015, Tuberville was the president of the American Football Coaches Association.
Tuberville was born and raised in Camden, Arkansas, one of three children of Charles and Olive Tuberville. He graduated from Harmony Grove High School in Camden in 1972. He attended Southern Arkansas University, where he lettered in football as a safety for the Muleriders and also played two years on the golf team. He received a B.S. degree in physical education from SAU in 1976. In 2008 he was inducted into the Southern Arkansas University Sports Hall of Fame as well as the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame.
