This has to have been a long standing policy that maybe was just updated today.

There is absolutely no way Auburn is going to create a policy on Feb 9th, then Fire in him in 24 hours b/c he didn't comply.  This is a random coincidence and Hoke is being a complete moron

I'm not comfortable saying something like that. There's no revision history documenting changes made, no listed approval chain (by title or individual), etc.

That's not a policy I would even try to defend in front of a review board. There's just so much wrong and missing from that policy, it's practically a joke.

It was put together in two days is what it looks like.

Honestly, it looks like it was drawn up 45 minutes before publishing. 😂

That is, without a doubt, one of the single worst attempts a policy I've seen. I've seen rough drafts with more substance and let's not even get into standard policy sections that are missing.

I really don't have a problem with Freeze regarding hookers other than getting a damn burner phone. I'm divorced and I have Google Voice & burner #s because...well, I don't want to deal with a ONS later. I'm just not sold on him as a HC. Granted, I didn't watch any Liberty games but, he seems like a mildly better version of Double Bubble in regards to on field results.

He was fired by Baylor.  I'm not sure we can hire him.  Especially on the heels of firing Harsin for possibly racist actions

He was hired & fired by Baylor in a span of 24 hours. It does make me wonder what happened

Fickell - Though he's spent his entire career in and around Ohio, his current UC roster has 8 kids from FL (9 if you count the Bama transfer), 3 from GA, and a smattering of other states south of the Mason-Dixon line. His buyout should be down to $3-3.5M now

Grimes - Everyone here already knows him so, I'm not sure I need to add anything extra. He could be a cure for our OL issues (recruiting and teaching)

Laughable if you think anything has been right from the start. 

For all I know, this has been something that's been in a slow burn and got outed by a media guy looking to get hits, a PTB looking to make headlines, or someone in the Harsin camp looking to have it play out in the public. I legit don't know but, like I said, if it's a real investigation that's only recently become public I'd rather it be done right vs fast

One of the leading stories on ESPN website now. Hopefully this doesn’t drag out too much longer 

If it's really an investigation that became public, I'd rather it be done right vs fast.

From the above referenced article:

Another person recalled one instance of a player texting Harsin to apologize for a poor performance in a game. The player asked for guidance on how he could improve. Harsin did not reply. Instead, he had the player’s position coach call the player to tell him he needed to leave the program, the person said

if this is true then Harsin is a sorry excuse for anhuman being. 

That's completely and utterly absurd and has to be missing some additional language or context. No coach, I don't care how much of an a-hole he is (from Pee-Wee up through College), is going to tell a player to get lost for requesting help on improvement.

REC is as real as there being microchips in the COVID vaccines...

 

Edit: or maybe there is more to it then I realized...

The REC is real and most certainly poisonous. However, they are not the boogeyman hiding under beds many AU faithful believe. They are influential as well as having a targeted negative agenda/impact on Auburn. However, many things AU fans like to throw at them would have the Feds sniffing around for RICO/mob-like implications.

what is IG live

Yay, something about social media I know as a Gen Xer

It's live chat on Instagram

The daughters in players’ IG lives running damage control…the optics of this are looking bad smh 

Harsin's daughters are showing up in player IG Live to handle damage control? You can't make up a soap opera this good

Didn’t Wooten sit out last year. A very interesting take would be the point of view from Zakoby. This almost seems like a shot at Twill or Steele because Gus didn’t really bother the defensive of the ball

He sat out 2020 for Covid and being a new parent during that mess. He played this past season

Sorry man.  The over 41 and older crowd need to just let these kids handle social media

It was apparently a poorly designed joke. We're the "whatever" generation

We have posters here just now learning about subtweeting.  Gotta go slow with these GenX and Boomers

I'd say that hit me in the feels but I'm GenX so, whatever..

I've read on this site multiple times that Bobo was handpicked to be the OC before BH was even hired. Lined up when everybody thought Steele was going to get the gig.

How many times do our actual knowledgeable insiders have to say that Steele was never a candidate?

Just now, au701948 said:

I would genuinely love hiring Hugh Freeze. Our own self inflicted embarrassments probably do not out weigh his. Just saying!!

If Harsin is cut loose and we go after Freeze (I'd make Fickle or Grimes say no first), just give him a crash course on burner phones.

I just don't see how we survive this and not get screwed in recruiting

Other than not signing any players on NSD?

The damn coaching staff is subtweeting this s*** too.  There's a ton of blame to go around

I had to look up what subtweeting was. Learn something new every day

Unpopular opinion would be Dan Mullen who might be interested.

Mullen? Please tell me you're joking

Agree, but when have we last got that right?

Basketball?

This is such a huge distraction within the entire AD. It wouldn’t surprise me to see the basketball team take a L on the road in Athens tomorrow.

Or CBP circles the wagons and the basketball team gets tighter.

Well, Kes Harsin has taken to social media over all this drama so there is definitely something going down. 

 

Can you elaborate?
