I have no clue but I've watched other staff at Arky and tenn already land various portal guys and we haven't got much or anyone so who knows what the staff is doing. My point was we need other positions to be filled much more than qb at least prior to the nix departure.

For one, if he knows he’s going to ucf, does he still have to enter the portal? I have heard he joins ucf and Pat takes an OC job there. But those are just whispers. UCF would be comfortable, but I agree—it isn’t going to make him NFL ready. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I saw him play twice at Pinson his senior year and wondered about his arm stength and accuracy. He played well but he didn’t look like a 5 star to me. He didn’t really play like one here either. 5 star would be going pro after year 3, not sure Bo has a pro path forward. I think his original ranking was inflated.

I can only speak from my love for Auburn but assuming he loves Auburn as he says he does I cannot imagine transferring to another school coming off of a broken ankle and having to compete being more logical than having to compete at a school he supposedly loves and is already proven at. There has to be more than this and it seems the way he delayed his decision seems his heart and his brain were telling him two different things. I am totally reaching here but a senario where he thought Harsin would bring somebody in and would give the new QB an advantage is all I came up with. He can't possibly have enough confidence to transfer hoping to go pro and not enough confidence to stay and win out the starting job next year it just isn't logical. That is if in fact he isn't just bolting because he views next year as unsalvageable and knows his best shot to the league is somewhere with more talent on the roster. Either way I'm gonna be optimistic about next year because I believe in Auburn and love it! This this this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Refuge 6,654 Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 He should just man up and deal with not being the “hero” or being liked by everyone. If he feels like he has a better opportunity somewhere else, just say it. This riding the fence is BS. Just leave. You can’t say you have a goal of being an Auburn tiger and leave without it being vacuous. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

au302 2,669 Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 TNOS has been very firm during this situation and gracious/sympathetic to Bo. Now that the cat's out the bag, they have said that Bo and Pat approached Harsin on multiple occasions with a list of demands. Harsin stood firm and refused to bend. No clue what those were, but maybe Harsin already planned on bringing in a transfer and opening up the job. Bo knows he needs an assured starting spot with so much on the line next year 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranger12 46 Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Coach Harsin could give no guarantees to Nix about next year and is actively recruiting JUCO transfers. That is tough for a 3 year starter to swallow coming into his senior season, especially for a legacy guy like Nix. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tells me all I need to know. This decision and what he's said surrounding it tell me a lot about Bo. He's been trying to frame this as "I'm an Auburn grad. I did everything I could do. I'm just so ridiculously Auburn. In summation, this is still my school, so even after I transfer I still want the full legacy of an Auburn Tiger." Doesn't work that way, kid. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taco 617 Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Bo hurts on a personal level. Just because of being an Auburn legacy and his desire to win here. But it is what it is I suppose. Wish we could have had more OL talent for him (and Stidham to further this point). Tank leaving will piss me tf off. And I would want CBH head on a stake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
