Seems reasonable to me. Physics be damned.

More realistic option:

Gonna go play some ncaa 04 with hefty lefty to blow off some steam from this one lol

I don't want to hear about your bathroom rituals.

Who is the new strength coach and what's his background?...I'm assuming we have a new one.

Harsin was a micro-manager to the nth degree. I understand coaches wanting to direct the overall ship his way but he went to the extremes in not trusting most of his staff. 

What's weird is he was a micro-manager in ensuring that the coaches were NOT doing their job. Like he was actively trying to force his coaches in being lazy recruiters.

Man I forgot what fun recruiting could be.

I've felt like the poor kid in the neighborhood who didn't get any presents the past couple years.

How in the world is this JABA?  

He just entered the portal MONDAY.  Then you have to discuss with potential schools then get CC to transfer records.  That doesn’t usually happen quick.  Then Auburn has to evaluate, and I am sure there were some discussions about any work arounds.  So that basically happened in a three day period and Freeze might have gone ahead and got Leary in when he sensed there could be an issue. 

Some of y’all melt faster than a snowman in a sauna at every little thing.  

I don't think it's a big deal that he didn't come. But why does Auburn need to truly evaluate him or wait on transcripts just for a visit? 

Another QB of interest: JT Daniels is going into the portal.

Doesn’t every new coach bring in people he’s worked with? Weird to compare his hires to Saban hiring O’Brien. Saban can hire anyone he wants. Freeze isn’t quite at GOAT status. 
 

Also, considering every offensive position coach is rumored to have been hired, I’d say it’s very likely he’s selected his OC. 

And Saban has been at Bama for what? 15years? When a new coach goes to a school, he needs to establish authority and a team that he trusts implicitly to not undermine him. It sad, but it's the reality of the situation of any new leadership there is going to be a power struggle. Saban is established and absolutely not ever going to have to worry about an underling trying to backstab him.

1. Does he consider OL recruiting important?
2. Can he do it at a competent level?
3. Who is going to be the OL coach?

These would have been in my top 5 questions in the interview.

This is happening more often in larger organizations with busy leaders and figureheads; having someone or some department be the distributor of the social media content. It'll create a more consistent social media message presentation, cadence and format and also, who has the time to argue with the internet collective. 

We now know what the holdup with Kiffin was. He wouldn't get off Twitter.

I really don't understand the down votes.  He is already leading Jackson State to excellence.  He is destined to do it again.

Jackson St is one step above Springdale HS. It's not like we're talking about a mid major program here.

He doesn't have a single win against a Power 5 team or even Group of 5 teams. He has a long way to go before proving himself worthy of a Top 15 coaching position in the country.

Lets just say that the allegations of last February were not falsehoods spread by millionaire PTB types or groundless rumors started by an unfriendly media. There was some fire behind all that smoke. More than that I will not say.

Speaking of which. I wonder if that girl was fired too.

The fact that the rumor of Kiffin is out there this early on ESPN tells me he will not be the coach. It's usually never the one the spotlight shines on first.

Shmedding is the last Boise guy i think

Dion can do the one thing that we have to have right now.   He can get the Jimmy and Joe's.    We can hire him assistants to take care of the X's and O's.

This just screams "We're looking to hire a temporary head coach that we can fire in a few years when we get better players". Sure, let's look to pay out another massive buyout, and then start from square one again with a better cupboard....likely filed with borderline problem recruits. That sounds like a great plan for Auburn right now.

Y'all have hyped Deion to be some magical coach. He's still sooo green. I was listening to radio the other day, and while Memphis fans are somewhat interested for their coaching position (if it were to become available), the talking heads are saying he may not be quality enough to coach there. But it'd be worth the chance.

But yet y'all feel like he's good enough to be a top tier coach in the SEC??  This seems like Turner Gill type hype.

It seems many of you have lost faith in Auburn being a top tier program and think they can't hire someone decent with experience. We have to take moonshot options as a prayer's chance of being successful? Have y'all reduced the Auburn coaching gig to level of Memphis Football?

He will be smiling next year as Auburn will be as close to probation as you can get without actually being on it. He should be fired with cause. 

What did I miss?? 

I didn't even watch. This team is abysmal and has no future that exudes hope. I had better things to do on a nice fall day.

Sad that's where we're at when it's the UGA game weekend. 

I wonder if you could just come out and say that he's not fired, but you're not going to retain him so that you can go ahead and start a coaching search and make an offer for his replacement.

I just wonder why he is still employed. Auburn will lose money in the long run and that loss will just continue to grow as long as he is employed at Auburn. Fire him today.

I don't think they'd loose less by firing him now vs 3 months from now. It's not like an assistant will be able to win anymore...or less bad.

Obviously he needs to go by the end of the year, but we aren't going to replace him until Jan at the earliest so there's no real point unless you feel like your targeted coach won't be available by then.

We aren't going to make a bowl game, so I think we'll be fine to wait until December. 

With word that Nebraska fired their coach 3 weeks prior to a huge drop ($7+M) in price of the buyout, I'm wondering what the contract says and when the costs drop for Harsin. 

Guys. This is the beginning of the Harsin-era comeback. 😂

Game. Set. Goodbye Harsin. 

Kill me. 

It hard to wish for a loss, but it's time to rip the band-aid off this abomination. This is gross.
