Beating teams will fix it all I’d imagine. 

No it won't.

Well stated.  He wasn’t on my short list, but I’ve always said he is a good coach.   I think he’ll do well here and do everything he can to win over his critics.   (Some will never come around, but that’s on them)

If you think not "coming around" to like that scumbag is some kind of flaw......then your judgement is also suspect. I think Auburn has lowered itself by hiring a man with a very bad character. There's plenty of evidence to back that up....and virtually none to show that he's the kind of man who should be a leader of young men.

I frankly don’t care. He made a big mistake and the whole world knows about it. When you and I make mistakes like that only a handful of people will really know. 
 

Being virtuous only leads to a hellish life where you can’t exist. We are all extremely flawed. Being idealistic is one of the worst things human beings can be. It has led to suffering beyond measure. 

What he did was not a "mistake". It was an exhibition of sociopathic behavior. There is a spectrum of sociopathy and I know he's on it because of his behavior. Then there's the recent harassment of that poor young woman. He has no understanding of appropriate behavior, and also, on topof that, has a disrespectful attitude towards women, including his own wife.

I agree.  I hope he exhibits some signs of character and integrity in his first address.  Still, coming from Liberty makes me very suspect.

He has no character or integrity to exhibit. He'll throw around a few bible verses and people will think he's changed. He hasn't.

Just prepare for it. Going from Cadillac to freeze is going to make a lot of people upset. It will wear off over time but it will be bad for a while. 
 

It won't wear off for me. Some things are just unacceptable no matter what, and time does not change that for people who have standards.  I'm appalled by this hire, and as long as Freeze is at Auburn I will keep my money, and most of my family feels the same way. No more donations. It will ALWAYS be bad. There is no way to sugar coat this. There's just people who don't want better.

This fan base will hurt recruiting more than Freeze. Does not make a difference what he did or did not do in his past.

He's done some reprehensible stuff recently. And it makes a BIG difference.

There were a lot of posters here who blew the players off. Even after 20 left, many of them saying they loved Auburn but had to make a change there were people posting about those leaving being slackers and malcontents.

Last night the players and fans showed what a joy it was to be rid of the negative coaching situation and return to the Auburn Family way of doing things. War Eagle and thank God and thank Greyhound that other outfit is gone.

Yep. These were not "rumors". Fans didn't want to hear it because for some unfounded and incomprehensible reason they were all convinced that Harsin was a great coach.  Some of those kids were flat out telling people their experiences with Harsin and instead of believing the group of people who would be in the best position to know, they chose to believe the actual rumor that Harsin was fabulous based on nothing really substantial. Then for 2 years they blamed Gus for Harsin's cold ineptitude. 

The celebration of a dark cloud being lifted was pretty obvious. Caddy has chosen to be discreet and professional, and it's just another thing I love about him. 

WAR DAMN CADDY!!!

Look, it’s not happening. Period. 

Look.....no one is claiming that it is.  Period.

Nothing for any of you to get so pissy over.  Ridiculous.

Wow......that was a huge hole for Tank! Haven't seen THAT in a loooong time.

Caddy won't even get a legitimate interview for HC. Just let him be all he can be for now and move on after the next few weeks. 

You know this how? 

I never said he would...but he would not be a bad choice. He's doing so much with so little, and  that's evidence of coaching talent.

This is why sometimes Auburn and other schools get disappointed so many times, and it's how the Harsins and Golloways of the college sports world get hired.

There's lots of support and positive momentum behind Caddy right now but Auburn hasn't hired a head football coach w/o previous head football coaching experience since Ralph Shug Jordan. So it's unlikely but hey - Caddy could get a chance to stay on at Auburn or even jump up to something like HC at Nebraska and just run it like the old days. Regardless, something good is coming; I'm sure of it. 

Well....Harsin had experience as a head coach so it's not always a recipe for success. Freeze is a failure as a role model and trustworthy human being......like Petrino. Houston Nutt? Dan Mullen? Will Muschamp? 

Caddy has experience in ways that others don't.....and he understands these players. He might be a good choice.

We are playing a 3-6 team with a true freshman QB. I expect a bit better on 3rd and 18. Those types of mistakes cause the field to be flipped in their favor. We are just lucky they are worse than we are on offense.

Well......go on and be disappointed then. The QB is still very talented and once in a while he will be great and make a great play. Auburn is limited. That's just how it is.

 Caddy is so inspiring......Imma start working out again...lol

I ALWAYS expect to stop a 3rd and 18.

Well normally yes.....but this season you need to lower your expectations a little bit. The Aggies are just loaded with talent and at times it does show up. Auburn is what it is right now. It's a win for Auburn tonight just to be in this game and to be competitive and have some excitement. Caddy is a miracle worker to have Auburn in this position at halftime but it's still a depleted team.

Just now, CCTAU said:

We get close and he steps up and gets away. I wonder why he doesn’t bail left or right like we are used to seeing…

He's very young and inexperienced.... but he is immensely talented.

and we give up 3rd and 18.

We weren't going to stop the Aggies completely.

It could not have been. At least that’s what we were told…

I never believed that BS from Mr Potato Head.

Harsin not letting them call it because he didn't wanna actually win lol 

It almost seems that way. The ineptness was just hard to fathom at times.

EVERYTHING is better now. Go Crazy Cadillac!!

The athleticism of the band members.  And all in sync.  Amazing. 

It is truly amazing. Being in a marching band takes so much talent, hard work dedication and time.  I admire these kids tremendously.

Whatever it is......it's AUsome and I love it!!! If that doesn't excite the fans then they can go find themselves some potato fields.

I remember when one of the eagles went outside the stadium for a second.  There was a collective gasp.  I think it was in the endzone where the  Jumbotron is now, but it was before it was there. 

I remember that too!!! It was a little disturbing. IIRC that eagle was kind of young

I was on the Prime train for a while, and I haven't necessarily jumped off. I still think he is the best short term answer to get our roster fixed, but I have been steady in wanting Freeze if Prime says no. I think he is a great coach, a proven QB developer. The job he is doing this season along with what he did with Malik ...remarkable. I also think he is a solid recruiter. 

He's a bigger time bomb than Kiffen. No no and more no.
