Auburn closing in on Bryan Harsin

[nixtosanders94 2,180]

I love Auburn and have followed this program since Dye.  If you thought we would make a splash hire when our record is Bowden, Tubs, Chiz and Gus...well, you haven’t been paying attention.  

This guy is better than where I thought we might end up so lets see where it goes.

Didn urban beat abalama in a bowl the year he left?

 

Pretty big difference vs losing a las Vegas bowl 

Harsin has won more NY6 bowl games than Malzahn and the same amount that Tuberville did during a 10 year tenure here.  Got a better argument?

If he has autonomy I'm in

Just have a bit of a hunch. Can’t say for certain, but better to go in with optimism than to act like this is a 💩 hire.

You know this is the most proven coach Auburn has ever hired? 

Thank you!  All these people saying "We want a proven winner!"

Dude's been winning for 8 years.  And he's just 44.

Why are people so upset? We all wanted a certain coach but under these circumstances it is amazing we even got someone with his credentials to look at us. 

[AUght2win 6,816]

He looks like Hawkeye from the Avengers so that's a plus.

What gives you that confidence?

This is what happened when Gus got hired. We all flipped our sh*t and then slowly everyone started to get on board. 😂😂. Screw it. At least he’s a new face. Go Team!

[nutspanther 73]

I'm on board with this hire, but does he get to bring his own staff? If he has to bring along CKS and CRG then he's effed from jump street.

Now, let's all pretend to be excited...

Man can coach.   If he is given the chance that Gus was given (8yrs) you will see a better product on the field

Just a hunch.

 

if Steele stays, we’ll know the answer.

[AuMarine 1,372]

Considering the way this search has gone.. and all those guys looking like clowns.. a surprising hire... welcome Coach and hopefully he will be able to build his own staff amd show Steele the door. 

[casatiger 513]

This is better than hiring Steele or Clark.  Seems like a no nonsense kind of guy.  I never thought Saban would fit within the culture at LSU.  Evidently he will be coaching these young Auburn men.  Hope he will bring stability that is much needed.

Chris Peterson was my number one pick. This guy might actually be the brain that was driving Boise st.

This is as close to a home run hire as was possible at this point. Great W/L%, P5 assistant experience and has the top recruiting classes in his conference.

If it’s official, Allen Greene might’ve just came in and saved the day

Uh huh!  Go look at the Broncos vs Jets game this year.  Denver had to use a rookie QB from Boise.  Dude lit it up.

Honestly I was starting to really get worried we were gonna hire Neal brown. I won’t be sold until we see if he has autonomy and can build a good staff that can compete in recruiting especially, if not, we may get eaten alive. Thankful it’s not Steele or Brown and will def give harsin a chance. Really hope the PTB doesn’t pull anymore crap.
