This guy has no idea how to coach in the SEC. if he brings in his own guys, we’re screwed. We needed new blood, unbeholden to anybody around. I am warming up to this hire.

I seen a article where he has stated he wanted Boise to leave their conference and join another one to give them better opportunities so that means he is hungry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerTaz 109 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 I just hope Auburn fans go all in with Harsin. We need some unity and some excitement. We’ve hired a lot of coaches with a worse resume than he’s got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFDTiger80 790 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 I don't know much about him, but I am excited that he is not part of the AU problem. Please let him hire his own staff and give him control. This is another example of no one knows **** about what is happening in the background. I am for ALL NEW. I am glad we are not rehiring another SEC retred. I am hopeful to be fired up after r4eading about him. Let's GO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randman5000 4,223 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Thanks goodness. New Blood! A guy who can also coach qbs and run a wide open offense. He wants a challenge. He'll get it! WDE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUGunsmith 666 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 We will know if he is a puppet as soon as the bowl is over. If we keep garner Steele or any of their buddies, it guarantees this job was just his retirement plan to get JABA money and buyout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CR 2,427 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Most everyone seemed to agree ability to recruit at an elite level was a must for the new coach. Is he that guy? I'm just asking, I don't even pretend to know the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger4life25 74 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Except for Freeze and maybe Kiffin I don’t see this guy being any less than Napier or Mario but mainly Napier. I also think he is a better pick than the two at Clemson because he has actual HC experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony4AU 386 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Hope he isn’t reading Auburn message boards for reactions. He might not sign contract. Whew brutal. He is 69-19 in one of the best Group of 5 Conferences. He will need to make some key hires to kick butt in recruiting. We will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBlueWDE 1,136 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 man, I have a lot of research to do. Thank you Allen Greene for giving us something other than a re-tread. Time will tell obviously, but we get near term datapoints starting w/ the DC and DL coach picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep 69-19 and 44 years old, seems he was not happy being in their conference because he wants a better chance to compete for NC and this might be why the move to SEC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the exception of maybe 8-12 guys, we were in a position to hire any coach in the country, and we hired Bryan Harsin. utk hired a mid-level coach that spiraled their program to the depths of the SEC to this day. I worry we just made a similar hire. I swore I was going to support anybody but Steele, but I’m struggling. We’re supposed to be one of the top football programs in the country. Is this a monetary move after the Gus contract fiasco? We needed an HC with a huge recruiting track record (Mario). We needed a coach that knew the SE and proved he could win (Napier/Elliott), but instead we hired...who? Oh yeah, 4 & 5 star guys will be begging for an AU offer.

Okay all of this is fine but your comparison is way off base bro. Unfortunately with this splash hire , it takes a whole lot to get these guys here and also it takes the perfect scenario. I can’t answer your other questions . I do think it didn’t hurt that he doesn’t seem as expensive. I do like that he has had quite a bit of coaching experience , he learned under Brown and Peterson and he seems to recruit well to Boise which isn’t easy to do. With that being said, of course it’s a risk and it’s a leap of faith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will be able to recruit to Auburn. Auburn is still in the SEC, and a draw for kids. The thing I like this most is his ability to develop players. Something Auburn needed drastically on offense.
