Bryan Harsin goes on rant after being asked about 'game plan' for TJ Finley/Bo Nix decision

Sydney Hunte | 12 hours ago

 

 

 

 

It’s safe to say that Auburn head coach Bryan Harsin will be asked repeatedly this week about whether he’ll start Bo Nix or T.J. Finley at quarterback against LSU on Oct. 2.

Nix obviously has experience on his side, but Finley likely has the backing of the fans after his last-minute touchdown drive to help the Tigers hold off upset-minded Georgia State. Plus, he’s familiar with LSU’s tendencies after having played there a season ago.

Unsurprisingly, Harsin isn’t about to reveal when he’ll make a decision leading up to the LSU game, much less who it will be.

“I don’t have a game plan like that,” he replied when asked by a reporter after the game about a timeline for a decision. “That’s not how it works…and I don’t have to tell anybody what the ‘game plan’ is … [At] the quarterback position, you get yourself ready like everybody else. Bottom line.

“I know everybody wants to make a big thing out of that, but that becomes the storyline. The storyline is ‘Get better…every single day moving forward. You’re playing chess, not checkers. Prepare yourself. Have yourself ready. Coaches, get better. Everybody improve every single day. Be 1-0 every day, and then get yourself ready throughout the week so you can go cut it loose on Saturday and play really good football.’ That is the message. Period.

“And I’m not getting into all the other stuff, so that’s what they’re going to hear from me, and that’s what I’ll tell you.”

Was there an "edge " to his voice or something?   Not sure that qualifies as a "rant".    He not singing cumbia by any means,  but sounds more like a stern account of facts about how he runs the program.

There's a video out there and in another thread of it's own that has him answering this question. There is certainly a edge to his voice. He was not happy.

Fingers crossed he brings Auburn similar results.

Tough position to be in when you're between a rock and hard place, i.e., Nix and Finley, while under a microscope. I have no doubt he will be asked this week ad nauseum because this is perceived as AU's sports drama. 

Harsin, welcome to the SEC where this is the air we breathe 24-7.

It isn't a reporter's question that will require him to give an explanation.  However, there will be calls asking for an explanation.  That is just how it works.

[IronMan70 3,277]

I thought he gave the perfect answer with the perfect edge to his voice. He doesn't try to hide his irritation which is, yes, similar to someone else

[Bottomfeeder 244]

You can't buy the kind of guts this guy has (I love this coach). OMG! It's been forever since we had a coach steer the questions back to the media with force (he gets it). I love it.

Heck yeah!

[tigerman1186 537]

We really don't know him...all we know or see about coach is what HE allows us to see....the only ones that know him are his staff and players...maybe in a few years we'll have an idea...

Dabo? 

I'm curious as to what Dabo qualities you see.

You make the call....

Tell you what. He talks a good talk..... but results speak louder than any comments or catch phrases. To be determined.

[Randman5000 4,226]

I like the attitude after a win. "Auburn football, get better." I hope the team and coaches respond this week for LSU. War Eagle

That part. People are buying the talk but the results on the field say otherwise.

I think the results we're seeing is not necessarily a result of CBH and his vision, but rather its an indictment and revelation of where the previous staff left things.

He’s 4 games in to a new culture, new offense, new defense, new coaching staff, with a roster new to him.  It doesn’t happen overnight.
