AU-24 3,078 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 4 hours ago, CR said: Transfer Portal- 0 players incoming at OL and WR. 2 huge question marks at QB. Players leaving in droves, including 8 DL. At this rate DL will look like OL within a few years. Looks like no more incoming transfers headed this way. Coaches- Lost highly respected DC and DL coach. Struck out on at least top 2 DL coach candidates. Fired WR coach four games into season, replaced with coach from Boise who everyone knew was going to be on staff at first opportunity.Fired OC who was supposed to help recruiting in the region and to top it off, lost his son to main rival at our biggest position of need. Tried to replace him with coach under the shadow of NCAA investigation, blocked by administration here. Said coach was later fired by his current employer. Hired an NFL QB coach to much acclaim, now looks like he'll never have a coaches photo taken here. OL coach was expected to be replaced according to several of the beat guys but he somehow remains after signing 1 HS OLineman and totally bombing in the portal. Recruiting- Struggled most of the early cycle, some improvement at the end to salvage a decent class. Good chance of a total bomb in the late signing period. Hard to see Schmedding/Brumbaugh as anything other than a step back in recruiting in comparison to Mason/Eason. Carnell and Ethridge(along with Trovon Reed, who we depend on desperately despite not even being an on field coach) are left trying to pick up the (considerable) slack of the other coaches in recruiting, especially with Mason and Eason gone. This all followed a season that ended with 5 consecutive losses after having a lead in most if not all of these games. And from some credible posters here, he has struggled to connect with the boosters who, like it or not, Auburn is heavily dependent on for financial support. I'm mystified how Harsin has any support left at this point. All the above, and of course we could add about a half a dozen more, and it takes this for people to figure it out? 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absent this weekend. Starting to break on most pay sites that he's not coming back. No one seems to know why. Part III - Welcome Coach Kiesau?? It’s official. Harsin’s football program is an unmitigated disaster and it’s heady straight for the iceberg. My man has lost control and yet he’s out tossing around chick fillet sandwich’s to students before bb games. Smh… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's told coaches he's not coming back.

woodford 3,655 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 PTB should go ahead and contact Dabo for 2023. Might as well do whatever you have to do. Like someone mentioned early ITT, Harsin either has terrible luck or he is trash at hiring. I don’t know what to think. Maybe a little of both.

PoetTiger 1,896 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 It could all be so simple as him changing his mind and wanting back in to the NFL. Who TH really knows. I remember when Gus hired Rick Biascifor ST coach and he did the exact same thing, went back to the NFL. So did Tracy Rocker. Nothing really was gonna change for this recruiting cycle anyway and I doubt if Davis or any new OC was gonna change where this class is currently. ( it is done) Also many here said it was gonna be Harsin’s offense and more than likely Harsin calling plays. Not a good look but not the end of Auburn football as many are implying. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThurstontheWelshCorgi 576 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I personally felt like Davis was coming in as a rather feckless and ineffective oc in terms of being anything other than a qb coach and saw it as a strange hire. To me the loss / dismissal of Kobe Hudson was when I was really put on notice of things being extremely borderline untenable within the program. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AustinPeacock @AustinP56789780 2h Austin davis was overwhelmed by recruiting in college so he is stepping down as OC I'm not "pro Harsin" or "anti Harsin" or an apologist or anything. I'm as dumbfounded and fed up with this BS as everyone else. But if it really ends up being the case that Davis couldn't hike his skirt up and was scared of doing what he was hired to do, I'm not totally sure Harsin is to blame for that. Hard to say Harsin didn't adequately prepare him for what was to come, Davis went through the process as a player, he should know enough about what recruiting entails to realize the grind that was coming his way. If he wasn't man enough for it then he never should have accepted the job. Screw him. That said, I wonder who we will hire as our HC for 2023? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all got excited when the guy started lifting weights with his players, but the fact of the matter is most of us had to google who Harsin was when he was announced. There’s a reason Harsin had such a stellar win loss record, but had been at Boise for so long. The guy is a Mountain West/ Pacific NW coach to his core. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAG 33,982 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 (edited) The most auburn thing to happen is all this turnover and somehow, someway we have a successful season next year. This is such a weird scenario though. It is bizarre too because Pete Carrol and RW praised this guy. It would look weak as hell, if he ran now.

AuburnEagle79 2,165 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Any chance we could hire Bobo away from UGA? He's a great QB developer and can recruit. He could probably take Calzada to the next level. He's got SEC play calling experience and HC experience. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this case my response was mature and honest with the situation and contained no personal attack directed toward you. I responded with a open ended question and also identified that IF or when the facts unfold neither would reflect positively on the situation. There is no browbeating happening in this exchange and sorry if you felt as such. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
