When you get fired resign at Auburn, this is what the letter confirming it looks like, courtesy of the Opelika-Auburn News:

Mr. Jay Jacobs
Director of Intercollegiate Athletics
Athletics Complex
CAMPUS

Dear Jay:

This letter will confirm our recent conversations about my status as Head Football Coach. After long consideration, I have decided to resign. I understand that, notwithstanding my resignation, the University will make a total payment of $5,083,334 as outlined in Section 21 of my contract. I also understand that the structure and timing of the payments may be modified by mutual agreement.

I deeply appreciate the opportunity to serve as Head Coach at Auburn and will continue to support Auburn’s Athletic Program in any way I can.

Sincerely,

Tommy Tuberville

And to think this is all he had to do to get $5 million. Must be nice to have a job like that.

UPDATE: The letter above is actually a fake, here’s the “real” resignation letter…
