Pretty much how I see the talking potato. He and his fellow tubers can go back to Idaho

Dude, it's only Tuesday, lay off the sauce. At least save that kind of drinking for the weekend.

Oh, please, do tell.

And yeah, I still don't understand the interest. His collegiate experience doesn't really provide a good sample size for judgement. He snagged that kid that made the news for going to a HBCU and does Aflac commercials with Saban.

Personally, I'd back the Brinks truck up to Aranda's house and make him say no.

He's had 1, just 1 full season of coaching at the collegiate level (Div I-AA)

Tore it up at Ol Miss with recruiting and remind me again how many SECCG appearances did he manage with that recruiting prowess? Not to mention, from all appearances, he's a general dirtbag

Cool, so another head coach requiring OJT? I just don't see why everyone is so high on him.

maryland tiger's profile shows a 2003 create date. Not sure if that qualifies as "new" to you

I try to be reasonable, and make every attempt towards giving someone a chance to succeed but...have you watched Auburn play this year? Calling them the Keystone Cops would be overly generous. We have a coach who's as abrasive as Saban with the press without the cachet to warrant it, under prepared and undisciplined players on gameday, significant and pressing needs were not addressed in the portal, the "late" signing period was a ghost town, and more than a few regional HS coaches have never met him. Yes, college football fans are a dangerous and fickle beast however, in this case it appears to be warranted. Harsin is a dead man walking, and he knows it.

I had to unhide the post to see what nonsense he was on about this time

Nope, that's typically Cybersecurity Operations folks.

I need to get down your way just so we can eat great food until we're stupid (ok, a short trip), and wash it all down with tasty beverages.

How Do We Investigate The "Power Brokers"

I've seen 1 single article on this whole thing on ESPN (and I had to kinda dig), co-byline including Thamel. Thamel is a journalist in name only, he just throws a bunch of feces at a wall and hopes something sticks. This hasn't even been thrown in as a sidebar on my local sports news. So no, there's really not much awareness beyond the social media idiots. Should Auburn & Harsin part ways (IMO, they should), there may be a few stories published for clicks dependent entirely on how the press releases are done.

Good? No. My point is everyone is tilting at windmills when the University has been publicly vague and Harsin has been mildly defensive. I'll cut Harsin a little slack for being defensive regarding the social media rumors but, again that can't be tied to the University in any way. The vast majority of this whole thing has been driven by beat writers looking for clicks and football fans grasping & attempting to interpret every little thing someone may say on social media.

The important parts bolded. The University is not tied to any of that nonsense.

So, now we're playing with 2nd & 3rd hand information? Surely you remember the game of telephone as a kid.

What has the University said beyond a vague statement that an investigation is on going. Rumors, beat writers looking for clicks, and overly vocal extended family are what's fueled this in the public/social media eye. The University itself doesn't really look all that bad. Harsin doesn't look quite as good because of his SIL and running to EPSN & Thamel. Either way, everyone here is acting like Harsin and the University administration are trading punches in the headlines when that's not true at all.

Auburn needs better legal representation if they signed off on that policy prior to publication.
