I don’t believe all the misinformation some insiders leaked to reporters. There’s probably some truth mixed in there somewhere but only the search committee, President Gogue and maybe a few others really know what’s gone down the last 9 days. Yes, went out to the mountain west conference and hired a coach for the SEC. It’s as great as hiring an athletic director from... Buffalo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something tells me if we would’ve hired UM you would be saying he had nothing to do with it , it was all the boosters . You just don’t like the guy and it shows BADLY.

Then we find out it was all Greene hiring a no name from the Mountain West So you are in favor of the hire? If the reports would’ve came out that the boosters insisted on this no name, no splash hire from Boise State, you would’ve been so pissed. But oh it was greene that hired this guy, so all of a sudden it’s OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can remember I was told anting Billy Napier from the get go, whom I am sure majority of you didn’t know until this recruiting search came out. A guy with mainly non- power 5 coaching experience but a proven program builder and developer . Recruiting is the icing on the cake. I was never super high on MC or Sark. I was high on freeze but again it was because every where he went, he seemed to take programs to their peak at every level. But I also realized that he wasn’t going to get a fair shot because the optics. This guy checks all my boxes . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USATiger 741 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 I mentioned in a thread before Gus was fired, that I had no real opinion of Greene and his abilities as an AD, but in 30 days I would know. Whether or not removing Gus was an idea he was pitching, it got done, and now Auburn has hired a legit coach. It seems for the first time in a long time, a HC was chosen based on merits, not on personal connections. It didn't take quite 30 day, but I have a definite opinion on him now. Allen Greene is what I hoped he'd be when hired! I think Harsin is an exceptional hire, one that will reflect positively on Greene, helping to strengthen his position as the leader of Auburn athletics. Hopefully, Greene's concerns about Auburn dissipate and he decides to make Auburn his home for quite a while. War Damn, Allen Greene! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m much more interested in hearing CBHs plan to build a consistently successful program at AU, who he hires as assistants, etc. than what ADAG shares about his thoughts leading to the hire. No offense to ADAG or anyone else. It’s just that we know CBH is our man now, so let’s see how he builds this program up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a matter of fact I think they are familiar with him. He's been the HC there for 6-7 years. His school is well known as a consistent top team in that region of the country. The school and ofc their blue field is well recognized around the country. They play late games at times, so ofc most kids probably have seen them on tv.

Either they weren't involved in that decision or AG was able to persuade them to his side. Which IMO, is what he should be doing now. Well, if he has the ability to sway them, then he DOES have some power over them. That's the sign of a good CEO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AU-24 3,073 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Just so everyone understands, there are all these, in some cases, big-name coaches, all of you wanted hired so badly. You all claimed Greene couldn’t hire them because of the boosters. Etc... Then we find out there were several candidates that would’ve excepted the job, but Greene turned them down for this guy from the mountain west conference. Dude was raised in Boise Idaho, played football for Boise State, he has been the Boise State head coach for several years now. Not exactly an SEC guy. That’s all I am saying, and it is concerning. Obviously, I sure hope it works out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU-24 3,073 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 After one post in the Bronco Football page, someone posted this. And people talked about Cincinnati, BYU, Liberty, etc and their respective coaches. I think this speaks volumes. He inherited a program that wasn’t on a decline, similar to Auburn. Common comment was inability to win big and small games consistently. Guess we will see how he fairs in the big leagues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess we will see how he fairs in the big leagues And Pat Dye was 6-5 at Wyoming, and before that in 6 years at E Carolina lost at least 3 games every year except 1. SO what I am saying is it really doesn't matter other than were they successful? Sometimes it takes a move to a place, and the experience they learned to take them and their team to the top levels. Even Saban at MSU in 6 years only had one really good year. Not till he got to LSU and at 50 years did he start to take it to that next level.

Do you think Auburn deserves one of the best? I think we got one of the best available coaches a program is likely to draw this year. Most successful P-5 coaches don’t jump programs. It’s very rare. UGA got an unproven rookie HC. So did Tenn. Texas got a guy with less HC cred than Harsin. South Carolina got a rookie. LSU defaulted into a failed HC in O. Most teams get a lower level HC or a coordinator. We did better than most. Now you can whine some more, or get on board. I support this coach. He may ultimately impress me or disappoint me, like any other coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
