  1. Saying we wont win another game this year is not only a knock on Harsin but also to THE PLAYERS
  2. Its going to take a lot more than just hiring a new coach. It will take years of managing the NIL that everyone thought was needed and a great idea. AU was at the bottom of the curve when this phenomena hit. We need players willing to come to Auburn during these mediocre years.
  3. This was so much better than one of Gus's canned comments.
  4. Like I have said many times I liked Alan Greene. But no idea what went on behind the scenes on who did what. Neither am I certain why the general was planted in the AD office. Shows a lack of confidence somewhere. There is no logic.
  5. No doubt there is dysfunction at AU. It starts at the top with our President, now and in the past allowing a few members of the BOT to sniff the jocks at Jordan Hare. Harsin is an outsider , not easily influenced who I hope stays and eventually wins.
  6. I wasn't speaking for other guys, only myself. But any coach / person with mental decorum would not have come out and said what he did, when he did. Interviewing him was part of the process. I don't know if he was offered the job but take my word, the dude is nuts.
  7. Venables is a nut. Also unprofessional to make the comment he did. We will see how he does at Oklahoma.
  8. No. I wont be attending another scrimmage. It was a Letterman event and an opportunity to tour the new facility that brought me to town. I just retired and moved farther away so it was a long trip. I believe it was time for Gus to go. I like Harsin but he could not have come at a worse time. Recruiting and coaching with the NIL favors schools with the more established coaching staffs and "unattached" donors. In my opinion the Yella Banana could do wonders in terms of "buying" us players but won't as long as Harsin is in charge. And other donors will not step up as long as the Banana is in charge. While there I heard a well known lettermen / Gus disciple knocking Harsin and his recruiting. He didn't interact with many of the players, mostly kept to himself and a few adoring fans. I also saw Takeo Spikes. He was talking with staff on the sidelines and coaching up some players. The epitome of a True Auburn Man and Player. WDE
  9. Yes. I was there. If I had to guess Harsin has TJ at #1. I believe Finley took all the snaps after warm up just before the start of the scrimmage. He was also teamed up with Tank for most if not all the scrimmage. I like Robbie. Just not sure he is ready to make decisions.
  10. There were a few plays made by each QB . But overall I’d have to say it’s going to be a long season.
  11. “Beloved DC” ? Mason is an arrogant and spiteful PO_ …Determined to bury Harsin and AU Football. A boosters tool , lightweight and overrated coach.
  12. True I dont live on these boards like some but have been on it since its inception. Not certain what I posted that has been disproven? That some boosters meddle with AU Sports, in this case football? That Yella Fella and his offspring waddle down the sidelines back and forth from their box? That Mason really wasn't that great a coach? I am glad Harsin is back. Now to hope for an AD like Greene that will control the boosters who feel entitled to control our coaches and admin staff.
  13. I don’t understand the love affair with Mason? What makes him a genius? Wasn’t he the one who didn’t adjust during the second half of several games and we lost. I think I read somewhere BOBO was complimentary of Harsin?
  14. Article isn’t too flattering. But follow up comments disagree. Harsin might be an ass and difficult to work with. But he was hired by AU and needs to be allowed to run his system here. Or just say we messed up, here is $18 m to go away.
  15. Yes. I saw that. Didn’t seem to matter to Boise State or AU during vetting.
  16. Not sure where you are getting all your intel either. But it’s common knowledge certain boosters meddle in how the football operations are run. Wanna be Jerry Jones. I have seen yella fella waddle down the sidelines since Tubbs . Yes. Their ego and power trip will burn down the school before admitting they’re wrong. Harsin was hired to make changes. Some don’t like it and leave. The portal and NIL is tough to manage. Mason lost us games. He took a $400 k reduction because that’s all he’s worth plus he had AU money coming in. He saw the writing on the wall. I was glad to see him go. Strange what you are hearing about now never happened at Boise. I have met every coach since Barfield. Due to COVID and canceled dinners I haven’t been able to meet up with Harsin. But I trust Alan Greenes choice.
  17. Has anyone seen or heard how terrible he was at Boise. ? How he ripped athletes and their families and abused the staff?. I didn’t think so.
  18. If Harsin leaves, for settlement he will be required to sign a non-disclosure . Which is unfortunate as I would like the actions of the BOT, Boosters, the General et al exposed. But eventually everything will come out . Harsin leaves with a bag of money and will be back coaching in a year or two. No win situation for Auburn. Harsin stays, the program gets cleaned up. The dark side withdraws and better people will take their place. Auburn has plenty of boosters who can write a check. But they let the Yella Man with the ego spend his money. I liken this to Trump rocking the boat and exposing the swamp. His methods cost him the election. This may be the same fate for Harsin.
  19. Although I questioned his hire and monumental collapses this year, I’m not certain I want to see him go. However if he does I believe Harsin will make an improvement.
  20. Fortunately I wasn't able to watch much of the game. If there is a bright side I suppose there will not be a presumptive starter at QB next season. It will actually be a best man up contest. Now on to BruceBall
