It's pretty foolish of people being critical of Harsin beating the teams in his conference. That's all he can do. If those teams aren't better then what is he do about it except beat them? The "anyone but Gus" folks have a short memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cristobal, Napier, Freeze, Venables, and perhaps a Kiffin or Sark. And two of those come with the NCAA’s extra special attention. Only Cristobal and Napier were home runs with no baggage. The others were very good options. We missed on MC and BN and that does piss me off. But this isn’t a crap hire by any stretch. He’s been insufferable during this whole thing. Not even worth anyone’s time responding to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not upset about MC--that was always going to be, as Bird says, a 50/50 (at best). I AM upset about BN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best thing is Dell is AU alum and he's not being paid much right now. Even without OC experience he's currently at UGA and Harsin can be a playcalled if need be.

Hiring Bryan harsin doesn't make me feel that will be any different. You're delusional if you think he can compete with orgeron, smart and Saban. He will compete with Orgeron by the simple virtue that his head is screwed on straight. Ed O is a great ra-ra guy who hired a great OC once with a QB developed by Urban Meyer. The fact that he coached circles around Gus speaks more to Gus than Ed O. You may be right about Saban and Smart. Time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live on the west coast and have watched a lot of Boise football from Peterson to Harsin. The record is smoking mirrors. The Mountain West is bad conference. Is the AAC or CUSA a good/strong conference? I would estimate that the MWC is superior to either of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
