Auburn dismisses Lebo

NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

03/12/2010 - Auburn, AL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Auburn University has dismissed its head men's basketball coach.

The school announced on Friday that Jeff Lebo, who has helmed the program for the last six seasons, will no longer be behind the Tigers' bench.

"I want to thank Coach Lebo for all that he has done for Auburn University over the past six years," said director of athletics Jay Jacobs. "He has always worked hard and has always represented Auburn with character, class and integrity."

Under Lebo's guidance, the Tigers finished 15-17 this past season, with a 6-10 mark in the SEC, only good enough for a fifth-place in the West Division with rival Alabama. Auburn fell in the SEC Tournament to Florida on Thursday to complete its schedule.

Despite a 14-17 record in his first year back in 2004-05, the school saw fit to reward Lebo with a seven-year contract. He didn't post a winning record until a 17-15 end to the 2006-07 campaign, then went 14-16 three years ago before a high-water mark of 24-12 in 2008-09.

Over six seasons, Lebo finished with a 96-93 record and a dismal 35-61 mark in the SEC.

MySportsbook.com Posts Heisman Trophy Odds

With 3,919 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and a mere seven interceptions last season, combined with a powerful South Bend Heisman legacy, odds makers at MySportsbook.com have given Notre Dame senior quarterback Brady Quinn the best Heisman Trophy odds at 5-2.

Quinn isn’t the only big man on campus this season.  Oklahoma junior running back and 2004 Heisman runner-up Adrian Peterson, listed at 7-2, rushed for a combined 3,033 yards in his first two years as a college player and will give Quinn a run for his money. 

This online sportsbook has also listed Troy Smith, Ohio State senior quarterback, as another strong favorite to win the 72nd Heisman Trophy.  A 7-1 bet, Smith threw for 2,282 yards last season and also led the Buckeyes to a convincing 34-20 victory over Quinn and the Fighting Irish in last season’s Fiesta Bowl.

Current betting odds Heisman trophy are:

Brady Quinn (QB, Notre Dame)
Adrian Peterson (RB, Oklahoma)
Troy Smith (QB, Ohio State)
Michael Bush (RB, Louisville)
Steve Slaton (RB, West Virginia)
Brian Brohm (QB, Louisville)
