Saw this story on ESPN.com and this story on SportsIllustrated.com about the "The Blind Side," the movie being made out of Michael Lewis' best selling book about former Ole Miss left tackle Michael Oher.

Several coaches are playing themselves in the movie, including former Auburn coach Tommy Tuberville, who didn't personally make an in-home visit with Oher in real life but has a chance to do so in the movie.

Other coaches in the movie are Nick Saban (who dons an purple and gold colored tie to recreate his time with LSU), Houston Nutt (Arkansas), Lou Holtz (South Carolina), Phi Fulmer (Tennessee) and Ed Orgeron (Ole Miss).

Here's a Tuberville portion in the ESPN story, which was written by Mark Schlabach:

Tuberville, who still lives in Auburn, said he didn't hesitate to wear a Tigers shirt during the film.

"I'll always be a fan," Tuberville said. "It's a job. I made it a lot longer than I thought I would. Ten years in the SEC is a long, long time."

Other than appearing in commercials for soft drinks and potato chips and a grocery store chain while at Auburn, Tuberville's acting experience was limited.

Tuberville couldn't help but take a little dig at Saban too:

Overall, Tuberville said his first Hollywood acting role was rewarding. He said the coaches were able to spend a lot of time together during one day of filming, when they spent nearly eight hours on set.

"I've got this acting thing down now," Tuberville said. "It was a good time. They weren't asking us to play a bad guy or anything. Of course, I'm sure Nick had a hard time doing that."

And in case you're wondering about Tuberville's acting chops, this part might alleviate your concerns:

During one of Tuberville's scenes, Hancock asked him to stop moving his hands. The director told Tuberville that people watching the film would be distracted by the movement. On the next take, the coach clasped his hands together and kept them still.

"See, you're coachable," Hancock told him. "I know that now. We'll coach you up and make you look good."

The movie, which stars Sandra Bullock, Kathy Bates, Tim McGraw and a relative unknown Quinton Aaron as Oher, is set to be released Nov. 20 of this year.
