Good friend of mine posted this on Facebook this AM - he was the OC for a few state championship teams in the last several years.

At my job as a teacher and coach I have had the opportunity to meet most of the best college coaches in college football. Hugh Freeze was one of my all time favorites. I had never met him & and we talked for maybe 30 minutes and I left there feeling like I had known him forever. He was just one of the guys. He was as cool as he could be. We talked about cowboy boots and all kinda stuff that had nothing to do with football. For those who think he’s a bad hire because he can’t coach, well… you’re an idiot. For those who think it’s a bad hire because of things he did in his past…don’t you have a past. I do. Some of it I’m not proud of. Some of it I would be mortified if it was on TV & Radio. I’m positive we all do. I’m not sure when we all of the sudden became these perfect people who make no mistakes big or small. This man I truly do believe loves the Lord. I truly believe he made horrible mistakes. So did King David and Solomon. If he asked for forgiveness, I truly believe God has forgiven him a long time ago. His wife forgave him. His family forgave him. Why can’t you? Don’t forget, Grace is a 2 way street. Some of you need to look at the mirror in the morning and stop lying to yourself. You’re not as good as you think you are. None of us are.

Pretty good show- Really gives you more insight into the personalities around the program.

I almost picked this one up on A-day, but they were out of my size

No he doesn't. He has ZERO contacts in the AD now. NONE. Jay Jacobs is gone. That was his one and only source in the AD for years. I can tell you this with 100% certain. Tubs and his staff feed him info when they wanted. Same with Chiz and his staff. He was manipulated by both staffs when it was in those staff benefit. Gus and his staff didn't do anything like the other two. Now? Where is he getting his info? Greene? Harsin? Come on man.  

I believe you are 100% correct on this. The man was sitting in the stands holding court with fans during the open practice in March....... When most journalists were on the sidelines.

I guess he was doing research for a lifestyle piece during the first practice open to the public, huh?

Good spot for him to land- New coach, so the expectations wont be out of sight this year,and he has some talented guys to throw the ball at. Also, they will be in the hunt for a conference title no matter what, so he will have an opportunity to shine.

For real- that hat is dope!

Wonder if Big Kat narc'd these guys out... hear he has a habit of doing so.

to be honest i read few threads with all the fussing. and here i was worrying on if marshall is a pay site or not. anyway it is weird because there is nothing i saw on tigerland about it. man i thought i had a scoop! i love scoops  lol

Marshall probably got the info here.

That's simply not going to happen this year barring catastrophic injury at the position.  But I expect DD will get every chance to win it next year unless a big time QB drops into our laps via the portal.

You dont think DD sees any reps at all this year?

thuga fans are the worst. Always have been. Worse than bammers in my opinion. Bammers are just stupid rednecks. Pups are vile and disgusting. Even when I was at AU in the late 80s, it was a different experience when the pups rolled into town. No respect for anyone and proud of it. I will cheer for bama over thuga every time, and I live in AL. 

I'll never forget the way they acted in JHS in 1988. I was like 11. Went with my old man and some dork in the ugliest red and white slacks and his son who was about my age sat in front of us. They were absolutely obnoxious.  I felt bad for the kid since his old man was such a douche. Ive never seen a group of folks who were more arrogant for no reason than UGA fans

It's going to be really really stupid if Gus gets us put on probations, especially when it's essentially open season paying kids now

 

Can we get some of Gus's buyout back for putting us on probation?

It would absolutely be the most Gus thing ever.

I honestly don't have any idea what it is, only read that it isn't disciplinary, and that it is out of T.D.'s control. 

I'm just trying not to speculate.

Man that really sucks. I've watched the kid since he was at JO. He was playing so much better this year too.

1 minute ago, Barnacle said:

All I've read suggests that this is not a disciplinary issue, and I think it's best that we leave it there until more info comes out. 

Medical issue?

Didn't TD get into some trouble earlier this year? Like held out of A-Day?

If everyone on that team played with Worm's ferocity, we could beat the Bucs.

I was on the 2nd date with the girl that became my wife. Watched the game at some beer joint and went out partying afterwards. No wonder she has been with me for so long 😄

You know if you are complaining about failure and you want a new chapter you should quit writing in the scrips. 
His name was Gus or Coach Malzhan or you can continue to wallow in the poo poo as you called it and continue the sarcasm and bitterness. 
Harsin is Harsin and Malzhan is Malzhan.   The past is past and now is now

Easy there big fella....... I guess you didn't get what I was getting at. I was referring to how much different a thread about a similar article, with a somewhat similar subject matter with some passage of time.  I'll try to be more specific in the future.

Do I remember a poo-poo show of a thread last year about Gustav having a chance to write a new chapter in AU Football?

AL.com running an article saying bet against Auburn? You dont say.......

Harsin said he may walk out and watch the eagle fly before kick off.   

 

And I said, we better not NEED him in the locker room in order to beat Akron.  Hence, I think it is awesome that Harsin is immersing himself into Auburn and our traditions.    Not sure why @DAG disagrees, but that is cool.  I bet Dag just misunderstood my post. 

 

 

 

 

I wanna see Hars sneak out onto the 50 with the Raptor center folks... as soon as they let the Eagle loose, Sunni Lee needs to start a tumbling run out of the endzone, making her way towards the 50. When she arrives, she does a double back flip onto Bo Jackson's shoulders just in time for the eagle to land in between Harsin and Bo.....  the roof comes off Jordan Hare, and tremors will be felt as far away as Tuscaloosa and Athens.

Of all the new exciting things to write about like the staff, lineups, game day prep, etc. etc. this is what this person chose to print. Rolling my eyes.

You didn't expect much more did you? It is painfully apparent that he is no longer an insider given the amount of fluff he has put out singe the previous regime left.

I'm almost positive he sat out b/c he had a baby and worried about his child's health.  

I believe you are correct, but until you sit down with someone and talk about it, how would one know, right?

Yup. Seems very stupid for a coach to have any questions about Wooten's commitment. That's the type of crap that stupid people on message boards say. Glad he changed his opinion but it should never have even been in Harsin's mind, IMO.

You wouldn't have questions prior to talking to someone you dont know?

It’s called being an objective . It’s not that hard. The guy can still be a douche , yet write an decent article. 

Not sure why we are all rushing to give this guy accolades for writing an article that is not harpooning AU or Hars. If you look at his body of work, the guy is a turd homer and has to change his pants at anything Bama related.

His motivations and tendencies are very much up for debate, but the actual words he wrote aren't. 

If you mean he wrote words, then yes. That is not up for debate.
