I have not seen a general description but have just picked up pieces about he and others subverting behind CGM’s back. I don’t doubt it happening..I just missed the details. Thanks Schemed with the boosters and Garner behind Gus’s back for up to two years for the head coaching job at Auburn. Boosters finally nutted up and fired Gus with intention of promoting Steele until a fan uprising and information leaked and completely railroaded their plan. That’s the gist.

Thanks I don't have much more than that to offer, but what I have read is that Steele and RG had been unhappy with Gus' leadership and went behind his back to influential boosters in an attempted palace coup to oust Gus and install Steele.

He said he couldn't coach because he didn't have any past SEC experience. I present a coach without SEC experience that did very well. If you don't like that comparison, then...How'd Spurrier do?

I am just giving my opinion based on what I have seen from Boise State. I would have preferred someone with southern recruiting knowledge. it's ok to be optimistic but Tony Elliot , Sark or Freeze would have been far better option. were Elliot, Sark, and Freeze realistic options? Elliot wouldnt interview, Sark apparently wanted a huge buyout, and Freeze, well, we know that story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would estimate that the MWC is superior to either of those. Nope after boise state its slim pickings. UCF, UAB, CINCY, MEMPHIS are all better than the rest of the Mountain West Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagle63 14 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 It appears B.S. has finished higher than half of SEC in the composite rankings almost every year of Harsin's tenure........and that was with two star talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew a little but that clears it up. I too would be glad for a clean slate. Hoping that happens. Maybe with Harsin’s fairly “nominal” buyout reported at $250,000 (I think), AU may very well have set themselves up with available cash to buyout the bad actors and can allow Harlin a clean start.
