"Entitled fans with outrageous expectations?" Oh, you mean like being able to keep a generational talent with zero disciplinary problems? This isn't Michael Dyer or Jovon Robinson. If Harsin were actually building something, this wouldn't be happening.

Generational talent? What are you smoking?

Tank is a surprise for me but at the end of the day he was recruited by a different coach.  It was always gonna be hard to keep him here after Gus left with the way the portal is now.

Tank decided to transfer when we threw a 20 yard pass on 4th and 2. I think everyone saw the writing on the wall this year that he wouldn’t be back.

Cannot disagree with you there.

Honestly, I think I liked Jovon Robinson’s playing and run-style better than Tank’s. Hate we didn’t see more of it.

Well we were in championships at least and finished above .500… 

They had no talent on those basketball team and everybody knew it. It wasn’t as though there were red flags popping up about Bruce and the program. 
 

I’ll go one more point forward and say Bruce was a proven commodity in the world of NCAA basketball reaching the Sweet 16 and turning Tennessee back around as well. He just had some… issues for hosting BBQs. 
 

All I hear about Harsin from Boise fans is his lack of ability to close out against tough opponents and his sheer stubbornness to adjust. —- which I believe we have already gotten a taste of 

What championships?  We've played in exactly ONE SEC title game since that 2013 run.  Its like some of y'all have selective amnesia and think we've been a juggernaut.  We haven't been.  At all.

Who cares about finishing above .500?  Its about winning titles.  No one celebrates 9 win teams at Auburn 20 years later.

And Bruce's first two seasons were 14 wins and 11 wins.  Exactly the same stuff we had been doing.

Your comparison of Gus to Barbee is asinine. Gus never had a losing season. He left Harsin with a team that finished 6-4 playing all big games. Harsin took that and went 3-6 in his big games. That's not a step in the right direction by any means.

It’s fine. Harsin’s gonna pull a great class with a bunch of OL through the transfer portal and bring in Bachmeier and Zach Evans and somehow convince Kellen Moore to come and fix HG’s hitchy throwing motion and maybe let DD touch the football and we’ll be back to a 6-8 win program within a year. I’m over it. I’m drinking the kool-aid. #TrustTheProcess

Gus went 6-6 in 2015 two years removed from a national title run.  Where were y'all then?  Cause that certainly wasn't a step in the right direction either.

If you can’t see the reason for that go put on your black and gold and move to Orlando

You are holding your own, which you are well able to do. This place has turned into a nut house, with a bunch of emotional, over reactive posters.

SIAP but did anyone see the Harsin tweet from this morning? I just came across it on another board and got a chuckle

If one did become a UCF fan, he would have been rooting for a team that finished 8-4 this season instead of Auburn's 6-6.

And how many conference titles did they win combined?

[autan 737]

Will take a minor miracle if we don't finish 6-7.

Harsin had better be this Saban-esque miracle maker many seem to think he is because right now we look to have a number of very lean, unpleasant seasons ahead of us at this rate.

it was alot easier with Jovon playing behind a non god awful OLine!

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. 

If you ain't the best, you shouldn't play.  All that should be guaranteed is a fair shot at the starting spot.

Oh he skipped right on by that Gus being 6-6 in 2015 post.
