I guess some will support him and some will push against him also. I’ll watch as we 3* ourselves into 7th in the west, just like you will, because we love Auburn. And if he miraculously goes out and pulls the 2023 class up to a top 10 national class, while also filling his Oline and WR needs this year, I’ll apologize and eat crow. You think he will do that? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he won't because he can't recruit, ala look at Bosie and how it's affecting them. But they don't wanna talk about that.

By the time we can finally afford to fire him (2024?) our roster…oh god, our roster… I just don’t understand how/why our boosters are so uniquely bad.

AUCE05 369 Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Someone had to sign off on hiring him. Did they not do any due diligence? Boosters do not have that authority Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect it from our boosters and AD. It’s the Auburn way. What gets me is the people who insist that he’s still the right fit. Last year this time, I could understand. But we’ve seen what he is, now. And it’s not a recipe for anything other than disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But WHY are our boosters so uniquely bad? Misc. thoughts: -I'm just going to assume he's here for three more years...by then the buyout will be below $10M. Almost all our coaching changes seem to be made after leap years (5 out of last 6), so it fits... -Does anyone wish they could go back and add one more second to 2016 LSU? We would've probably been justified in parting with CGM and avoided that massive buyout. The butterfly effect from that game has proven to be massive.

auburnatl1 4,703 Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 I understand the instinct to look at the trends and be decisive. Pull the trigger. But wow. The consequences, ridicule, and fan division - combined with freeze or Steele or God knows whoever epic hot mess coach that’s available.. They’re leftovers for a reason. Doing something this fast, this way doesn’t feel decisive, it feels wrong, frantic and desperate. Much the less the cost. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are head is in the sand or just being a homer if you think that . Good? No. My point is everyone is tilting at windmills when the University has been publicly vague and Harsin has been mildly defensive. I'll cut Harsin a little slack for being defensive regarding the social media rumors but, again that can't be tied to the University in any way. The vast majority of this whole thing has been driven by beat writers looking for clicks and football fans grasping & attempting to interpret every little thing someone may say on social media. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that’s what perception would do to you ? Do you think CBP is inherently evil? Probably not but that doesn’t mean because the perception of the nation is he is a cheater and of course Auburn would accept him. Perception is a real thing. To deny is just denying reality. I see no way Auburn looks good out of this situation and/or less worst than CBH especially if there is no cause to fire him and honestly who gives a damn if we end up with a better hire.

I've seen 1 single article on this whole thing on ESPN (and I had to kinda dig), co-byline including Thamel. Thamel is a journalist in name only, he just throws a bunch of feces at a wall and hopes something sticks. This hasn't even been thrown in as a sidebar on my local sports news. So no, there's really not much awareness beyond the social media idiots. Should Auburn & Harsin part ways (IMO, they should), there may be a few stories published for clicks dependent entirely on how the press releases are done. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAG 33,852 Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 (edited) What this thread has shown me is there are definitely people I would never want to have a beer with, Auburn fans or not lol. Hopefully this gets resolved by the end of the week with freeze as our coach. Ready to get excited about football. All this drama is like a day time tv soap opera. And hopefully with that hiring , it will end this moniker of a goody two shoe family aura. You got to be a shark to beat the sharks.

It wasn’t even Yellafella believe it or not because they used consulting firm. I believe this consulting firm has ties with Elizabeth Huntley who’s on the BoT. Fun fact, her firm is also our departments counsel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
