We’re going to out-culture Georgia, Alabama, and A&M for championships? Are we also going to be the national champions of life every year? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeTiger 5,099 Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Everything else aside, Perhaps my biggest beef/worry with Harsin has been with recruiting. "sources" have been saying that Harsin wasn't really a hard nose recruiter, that he maybe wanted to stick to the Xs and Os side of things more than the personnel and recruiting side, which may be great at a place like Boise where you are a well known, top G5 school that's competing against nobodies for 2 and low 3 star players, but it doesn't work at Auburn. "Developing lower rated guys" is great for small schools and basement dwellers, but you can't compete at the top unless you are consistently bringing in the BEST players and then developing on top of their already impressive skills. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And recruits and assistant coaches were avoiding Harsin like the plague 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah he could speak with the board and acknowledge his short comings, like booster relations and interpersonal skills. Actually make an effort to improve.

My assumption would be you feel that way. Either way, I am over it man. If you want to push the donor side that's cool. I will simply just add to the ignore.

I agree that an elite coach could turn things around, but those who hold the purse strings don't seem care about that (hence Kevin Steele), and I don't even know if an elite coach would come here, no matter how much money is offered.

Don’t even need an “elite” coach. Just a competent coach that can tackle our roster mismanagement and weakness by recruiting and using our NIL stockpile. All Harsin had to do this year is prove that he hang with the big boys in the SEC and fix our roster mismanagement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steele hates our fanbase so he’s not even a viable option at this point. Like I’ve said on the board, somebody can pin this or take a screenshot I will eat shoes/socks for a whole month if Kevin Steele is named our next head coach.

He would be a place holder for 1-2 years. It gives the AD, or whoever, an opportunity to find the right guy long term, because the right hire wouldn’t accept this job now. If Steele brings some stability to the position, you might could lure a home run hire after next season. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUbritt 611 Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 SIAP, but I found this article on Matt Rhule to be an interesting read. To be honest, it doesn't sound that different from what Harsin has been trying to do already. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
