Butthead

first time I watched Vandy this year. SPJr. is impressive. Plays like Steve Nash back in the day.

So, assuming we wrap up the SEC season title (yeah, I know we are not there yet, I said assume), does Pearl go all out to win the SEC tourney, or does he limit minutes and rest the team for the NCAA?

Amen. As I said a while back, if Jabari could be 20% more aggressive and Kessler could be 20% meaner, this team would wreck everyone.

More than ever before the AD needs to be a marketer of the programs and someone who can master the NIL landscape. Personally I would go throw a bunch of money to someone working for the NFL.

They should call Pedro Cherry. Former player and now CEO of AGL. Brilliant dude.

Bruh-I am not saying Harsin has done a good job but if we had won the Turd game and signed a top 5 recruiting class nobody would be complaining about Harsin being an A hole or our DC leaving. The only time I can recall anyone raising a question about Saban running off a coordinator was when Lane left and that was only due to timing.

It’s like some of you have never had a job before. Sometimes bosses are demanding and aholes. You either deal with it and meet expectations or move on. Our DC moved on. Until our former DC comes out and says something you are speculating. I suspect after being a head coach he had forgotten what it was like to be told he was doing a crappy job.

Ah what a mess we are in. So who will be the new AD? If the current and future president are are smart (tbd) they would spend the money they just saved on the Coach buyout and go hire a really good one. I don’t dislike our current AD but an experienced one should have headed this mess off before the ish hit the fan.

Season ticket holder since 1986 (my first year as a student). No more - screw them. Sending my money toward the basketball team. #basketballschool

Lots of things going on here, but Saban has run off a bunch of coordinators. I don’t think the standard needs to be that the coordinators love the head guy.

If I am in charge, I have two primary criteria -- they must be Credible and Stable. Credible means they have sufficient experience and status to appeal to the administration, other coaches, and recruits. Stable does not mean they have not changed jobs, but means their life is not fricking crazy. We need a calm and collected person to see Auburn through this mess -- it's going to take some time and a lot of work. So let's examine some of the named candidates and apply this criteria--- Prime Time -- Stable. Certainly credible with recruits -- unsure about other coaches and admin. Freeze -- Not sure he passes the credible standard at this point. Dell -- I think he might pass both. His inexperience as a head coach might be problematic with our current dysfunction. Sean Peyton -- would surely pass both. Aranda -- would surely pass both. Grimes -- same as Dell. Feel free to add others and do your own analysis. If you find the guy that passes both, offer him $15 million a year with no buyouts. That will be the standard soon for the big boys. Saban is worth way more than that. Make him create a budget, but otherwise give him full control over buying the groceries and over ops. And then go out and hire someone (expensive and good) from NFL, NBA or Premier League marketing to navigate the new world of NIL.

The more fun question here is who in the hell is going to be responsible for finding the next head coach? I think it is pretty obvious that our current A/D will not be here long term. Are they going to let him conduct the search or make a call? If not him, then who? This could not have happened at a worse time. What a complete and total Charlie Foxtrot.

Sean Peyton -- $20 million per should do it.

Nicely done -- can you embed 'the ice cream' from the Thuga game?

Who cares -- as Al Davis said, Just Win Baby.

what a clusterfrick.

Sean. Auburn is a good drive to his place at Alys. Or with his money he can buy a jet.

Give Peyton 20 million.

Any of you watch Last Chance U Basketball? Damn, I would run through a wall for that guy. I don't know many coaches at the college level, but he is tough as sh*t but loves those kids. You never know what someone is really like 24/7, but that dude looks like a real coach.

I really do not know what Harsin can do to change the momentum until next Fall -- and I think that is too late. Plus next year's team is just not going to be very talented compared to our schedule. And even if the starters play well, we have no depth. Hate to say/admit it, but I think this is over.

i don't think this AU team is scared to play anyone.

We need something ANYTHING to change the momentum.

Hard to know how much of this mess is Harsin's doing versus just bad luck, but we have ZERO momentum. Bad end of season, bad bowl game, bad recruiting, bad portal process, and many players/coaches leaving. Something or someone has to change the momentum SOON or this is going to get ugly fast. Like 2012 ugly.

Over/under of the number of classes completed at the Crapstain?

So Dell or Prime?
