Derek Mason was the best DC on the market PERIOD. Hell, the second best option on my list Marcus Freeman who also happens to not be white lol. Heck, the third option most mentioned was Andy Avalos who also isn't white. People drive me nuts man. Lol about the ban....... you can probably still read about it in the locked topic on first page of forum. Entitled remember when.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair it was relayed from another source, and it was more about our JABA puppet masters, but yeah. The implication was clear and gross.

AUMicBK 124 Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Bobo's son is a 2022 3* OT that had USCe, UTenn, UK, WVU, Maryland and Coastal Carolina offers. https://247sports.com/player/drew-bobo-46094613 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JABA would have been TRob as DC and some Gus disciple as OC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but that's not what even tripped me out it's when I make a tongue in cheek joke the reactions at first. It's ok to discuss that one way but it's ridiculous to even think it the other way. It's all good though, just a social experiment. Don't mind me I'm too happy about having the chance of a physical football team.

johnnyAU 3,630 Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 So far, I'm on board with the choices made by Harsin. Mason was a no-brainer and I like the thought of another former QB as OC/QB coach/playcaller. Caveat: I still haven't forgiven Bobo for that last second 4th down hail Mary to tie the game, which led to a 4 OT loss for Auburn. Perhaps this will be the road to recovery.

Just hope that Harsin rubs off on Bobo enough that it still looks like the offense we were hyped up about and not what we saw from South Carolina so much.

I hope ALL the coaches have been chosen for their abilities to recruit and grow young men into great men that work hard, study hard and give 100 percent. I don't know CDM personally, but from what I can tell, he is a man that has a great deal of respect from his players and he wants the best for them. I am excited to see him on the AU sidelines.

Let's build that roster as efficiently and quickly as possible. And, like you said, see if we can get a QB ready to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hilarious I saw the insinuation you're referring to and agree that it was pretty egregious. More so even when the poster of the accusation thought nothing was wrong. However, I think you might be overplaying the lack of similarities in reactions just a bit. If he had flat out said "He was brought in because he was black", I believe he would've gotten far more negative reactions. He beat around the bush a bit so to speak, so it didn't sound quite so up front. The majority of posters here never saw it though, and seeing your comment was likely pretty shocking when no context was given as to why it was made. Unfortunately, you also have to factor in the clout of the person who made the statement. Please keep in mind I'm siding with you here, just saying the two statements made aren't exactly the same, therefore the reactions aren't the same.

Also to not drag this topic so far along, I did speak to some posters underneath the scenes and social media and enlightened them on the issue. Why it might be glaringly offensive to others and why it just kind of didn’t sit right with me and I am assuming others. Hopefully this is a learning moment.
