Randman5000 2,024 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 (edited) Good lesson for Hars. We have work to do. Also Lupoli is a dream. Look for him to be Oregon's new defensive coordinator. Edited January 24 by Randman5000 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Didn’t he learn his lesson the last time? I’m sorry, but I wouldn’t give Tracey Rocker another phone call after this. Dude, college coaches move on after a year all of the time. It's been noted that he's not a fan of recruiting. So now he gets to focus on coaching and nothing else. Nothing surprising here. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

gr82b4au 2,514 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Well that is twice Rocker left us for the NFL. Dude is a great coach but he must really hate recruiting. it is a loss for sure but we can find another DL coach. Now Losing Mason would be an epic disaster for Harsin. Mason is THE MAN. Hopefully he stays. Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully he stays. Mason doesn't seem like the type to do that. He's been on staff doing work the longest thus far. I think he's invested. For now. Link to post Share on other sites

Gowebb11 3,731 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 (edited) For those who like to question why kids aren’t loyal to their schools anymore, let this serve as a reminder who they learned it from. If it is true that he’s really leaving, Rocker is looking out for his best interests. Kids know they have to do the same. Edited January 24 by Gowebb11 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

MaxCohen216 68 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 (edited) I wonder what all the DL recruits are thinking now, as I'm sure he called them and told them how excited he was to come home and coach them. How he was going help make them and Auburn great. Fine Tracy, go elsewhere. Within a freaking month of committing to Auburn. Just please, don't come back.

They are gonna be like, “you got a chance to go to the NFL and be one of the 30 best at what you do?!!! Helll yeah, go get yours Rock!!!!” For F@@ks Sake, the NFL is the sign of greatness in the coaching world, be happy that we can attract coaches of his caliber at Auburn. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Nah, I can't be happy for any coach that stays less than a month at a major rebuild at his alma mater. Before he even coached a down of spring practice. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

casatiger 299 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I believe it is better this way. Think if it happened in 6 months after he had recruited, retained, got invested and then up and left them. Probably has not even unpacked his stuff. Enjoy Philly. Eat a cheesesteak for me. Link to post Share on other sites
