Adrenaline and trying to do any and everything to win... 

I know he's TJ's father but he TRIED to be unbiased and made some very interesting points.

I can't listen to Zac talk. I tried back in 2019, but I couldn't handle it.

I get it; I can only take his voice in small amounts.  I can’t handle Jeffrey Lee or his laugh.

Once again, it is not about TJ, this is a team sport so I didn't need his Dad to let me know we have had questionable play calling or a weak O-line or issues with musical QB rotation.  NO sane fan was blaming TJ for anything but his bad decisions on his multiple turnovers.  TJ's tweet and now his Dad suddenly during interviews is not a good look for them or for Auburn and it just emphasizes that TJ is looking out for TJ.  Good luck with the NFL aspirations......

Just re-read the OP. TJ's dad is the guest? lol omg last people I ever want to hear an opinion from is a player's parent or relative.

Without listening to the podcast, I agree that TJ is our best chance.  However, I have always been critical of the OL.  Now that TJ is injured, it was a wise decision that Harsin had them both play. Let's hear from Robby Ashford's dad. 

Everyone has an opinion.  

[Auburn93 527]

Let me add when you sign a scholarship and get a good stipend, you put yourself at the will of the coach.  If you have to split time, then you have to split time or be better, be much better.

I think Mr. DEE needs to understand we aren't focused on his son's play.  We are focused on getting a better coach. 

I liked hearing from DEE though.  It was interesting. 

[W.E.D 11,070]

Pappa Finley ain't wrong.  Whole thing is a disaster. 

These kids deserver better.  Pay him $15mm, own the mistakes, let him go back to some mountain the NW

[Eagle-1 3,821]

Say what you will, but many of Mr. Finley's points were spot on. The rotation of QB's is a detriment to the flow of the offense, and the play calling has been atrocious. There are ways to slow down the pass rush with slants, shallow crossing routes, screens, and draws. We have done almost none of that. 

I was really big on Harsin at the beginning, mainly because he wasn't Gus, as Gus had made Auburn football where it was just not enjoyable for me anymore. Harsin talked a good game, and I expected to have a fundamentally sound, and innovative offensive football team. That's obviously not the case, and the experiment needs to come to an abrupt end as soon as possible. 

There has been much talk, and speculation on who we would like to see replace him. I have opinions like everybody else, but one thing I can say is if Hugh Freeze had a kid like Landen King on his roster you better know where he is on the field if you're coaching defense against him in the RedZone. I'll leave it at that.

I didn’t think this was the main point, but this is what I got from it as well. There’s some dysfunction in there.

[NWALA Tiger 3,535]

The unraveling  process from the inside has begun

[e808 3,025]

Mr. Finley made some valid points but as a parent u just can’t do that in a team sport. Especially, when u start dropping names to support your argument. They may seem innocent but to the other side it’s based on interpretation. Oh well the hits keep coming.

[autiger88 3,777]

This is not a good look for anybody. This is so stupid and Zack should not have done this. 

[kennypowers 1,431]

He's got his points here and there, but he mostly comes off as a whining parent.  Especially when he starts pulling in the LSU time...like there's always an excuse why TJ isn't the clear leader wherever he's been.

I like TJ...I appreciate his work, and he clearly got better.  Sucks about the play calling and O-Line, but it is what it is.  Need a runner at this point.

Holden, come on down!!! Jk

The rep numbers don’t match what I looked up also unless he was quoting just last game numbers which were more closer due to interceptions.

I just came on here to start a topic about this. I just got done listening to it. It’s def interesting info, but….

1. Why tf are we getting interviews from players parents? Zac shouldn’t have done that.

2. How is TJ ok with his father going on Auburn podcasts and bi*ching about playing time, etc.

3. If we are at a point as a program, where QB1’s father is getting interviews and publicly whining about this stuff, we are a complete sh*t show and someone needs to get a handle on it, now.

Yes they do deserve better. If he hasn't been doing what was expected in recruiting and visiting a d speaking outside the University then I would also say he doesn't deserve the full buyout. It is not repairable  at this point. He should be gone.

Cause that's how we roll at Auburn.  Who do we have that can get a handle on it? Team leaders? We don't seem to have any. Coaches? All are lame ducks.. AD? Wonder if he even knows where the locker room is..

You literally cannot stop a players parent for doing interview . It doesn’t stop at the NFL level either

We're at that point in the firing process.  If ZB was worried about coach cutting off his access then he would not have TJ's dad on there.  ZB knows Harsin is done and the sharks are feeding.

The guys who are about to fire Harsin are OK with this...it builds fan base unity behind their decision.
