He appeared to be close a couple of times.

oracle79 3,569 Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 First, Auburn is a special place. Second, Harsin gets it. No matter how he turns out, this is the happiest I've ever been with an Auburn football coach hire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gowebb11 9,314 Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 A winner with a strategic perspective, who is engaging and convincing. Wow! He articulated a passion about selling Auburn. He’s going to kill it on the recruiting trail. By the way, a quick scan of his Boise roster shows a lot of Texas recruits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can tell the "Do everything like it's 4th and 1" and "Do your 1/11th part" have long since been his two fav phrases. I was cringing at the possibility of him saying "Do your job." *wiped brow* Love original catch phrases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, that was a good presser and a good first impression. No too many Auburn fans make the Iron Bowl our championship. It's a game he wants to win but he wants championships not just victories.

JDUBB4AU 5,112 Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 He won the presser no question. I’m trying to temper my expectations and not get too excited, but it’s refreshing to have a new leader. I would like to know what the current players think so far.

j0hnnyRingo 1,445 Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 I thoroughly enjoyed the way he answered questions, especially the first in regards to Bama/Saban and only talking about be prepared for every day and treating every game is the most important instead of letting the stage get too big.

Quietmaninthecorner 1,945 Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 4 hours ago, WVR said: Yes, he said his phone was “Blowing Up” with coaches reaching out. “No shortage of coaches wanting to be a part of this program”. I think he was a bit surprised by the amount of calls he was getting. "phone blowing up"... Auburn is an extremely attractive place to coach. It is a great place to raise a family. Beautiful town, the pay is very good, lots of spirit. etc. etc. etc. We all know all of that. Most coaches know that. In the coaching circles there are LOTS of coaches that would love to work for Harsin. They know a good thing when they see it. They know he is a great coach. They either want to learn from him, or just coach with the man. They see what is about to happen with Auburn in the next 3-4 years. They want to be part of it. They are wanting to get on board while the openings are there. CBHs phone would be busy as new HC at ANY school. Any new head coach's phone at Auburn would be busy, But when you add the two together.... Bryan Harsin + Auburn University = Phone BLOWING UP! Who wouldn't want to be part of this?

TitanTiger 20,472 Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 I like the intensity. And I like that he doesn't seem to "put on" hype. He strikes me as a demanding guy with a definite plan and way he likes things done. I'm excited to see what he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caleb1633 1,418 Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 I won't be upset if anyone disagrees, but he kind of struck me (in personality and what he said) as a cross between Saban and Dabo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
