Welcome to the Plains Coach Harsin (Merged)

Auburn Head Coach Bryan Harsin
"I'm incredibly excited and humbled for the opportunity to be at a place like Auburn University. I knew it would take a special opportunity to get me out of Boise and Auburn is exactly that, the chance to compete at the highest level for one of the greatest programs in college football. I have a tremendous amount of respect for the coaches and players in the Southeastern Conference, but am ready to help build a foundation at Auburn where we can consistently compete for championships. I want our program to make Auburn proud both on and off the field with consistent excellence. I'm very grateful to Allen Greene and Dr. Gogue for this opportunity. Kes, our kids and I can't wait to meet the Auburn family and get to work! War Eagle!"
 
Auburn Director of Athletics Allen Greene
"We are thrilled to welcome Coach Harsin to the Auburn family. He's a proven winner whose record speaks for itself. Coach Harsin impressed me with his detailed plan to lead Auburn to consistently compete for championships in the Southeastern Conference. I'm grateful to Gen. Burgess, Quentin Riggins and each member of our advisory committee for their commitment to Auburn during this process. We look forward to welcoming Bryan, Kes and their children to the Plains to introduce them to the Auburn family."
 
Auburn President Jay Gogue
"We started the search with two goals. We want a coach who will lead our team to consistently compete at the highest levels and to make Auburn proud on and off the field. We found both in Coach Harsin. 
 
Our search was diligent and thoughtful, and it is unfortunate that so much misinformation was spread in recent days about the process. I appreciate the leadership of Athletics Director Allen Greene and the hard work of members of our search advisory group. Welcome, Coach Harsin, to the Auburn family."

Hope my man can recruit. We should figure that out soon I would expect. @ellitorstill some guys waiting on the hire to commit, correct?

Welcome coach

Am I the only one not jazzed about this? Is it the PTSD from this coaching search? 

[JBiGGiE 2,488]

Listening to Harsin's pressers at Boise... Man am I just glad to have someone with some personality and opinion. He's no Mike Leach but I dig it so far

Boise State has produced 23 current NFL players. Not bad for a small school. There’s some good coaching going on there.

We got a clean coach.  We'll need an OC.  I hear Art Briles needs a job.

Looking forward to the new game plan!

Exactly!  Welcome Coach Harsin, and War Eagle!  Look forward to next year with him at the helm...

Coach Hardin😂

[jluvah 663]

Guess I’m ok with this hire............ until he says Steele/Garner are retained.

[mdp5150 167]

Makes you wonder if the mystery candidate was Peterson and he directed us to Harsin? 

[autiger88 3,777]

I don't like what I'm hearing right now, hopefully it changes but it looks like part of the deal was he was gonna have to keep Steele, that could change but right now it looks to be that way.

That's good because Hardin is a totally different coach from Harsin. 

(I know it was spell check)

Can't imagine wanting to stay if I was Steele but I'm not so...

Yeah I hope he really  doesn't want too, I hope Harsin is given complete control.

No it wasn't Peterson.

How much longer does Steele have until he qualifies for the Alabama state retirement?  If it’s just one year, maybe they’re asking to keep him on one year and then he can let him go?
