    Auburn OC Search, Part III

    in AU Football Forum

    Posted

    How quickly does  Harsin move on an OC and what is his priority? Is it someone to work with Quaterbacks,  recruiting or  someone that hes knows and comfortable  with from the past. I dont see him getting someone to calling the plays and turning the offense over to them at this point.

    Honest question about Auburn football

    One question and answer it honestly. Do you think Auburn football team today is better prepared for next year than they were at this time last year ?

    If your answer is yes please describe where you think we progressed and how you think that progression will move forward. 
      This is not about Harsin, this is just about where you think Auburn improved its chances going forward as related to football . Again be honest. 

    I think you've asked the question that needs to be answered now. My honest answer is no.   cant say we have improved.  I believe that  stability in any organization makes you better. We have had anything but stability. Straight losses at end of season, quarterbacks not  ready, Coaching carousel,  high transfers, low recruiting numbers. I can't say we have improved  our chances. Thanks for the question. I need to ask myself that.

    Harsin Drama Megathread

    I’ve been supportive of Harsin all along, but this situation has me alarmed. It wasn’t a good thing when he fired Cornelius Williams, but I assumed there had to be a good reason. He failed as a leader with respect to Covid, but I didn’t turn negative. The five straight losses didn’t set me against him, and I was thrilled by the recruiting comeback. Losing Bo Nix isn’t good, but hey, kids want new experiences. Not for a second have I engaged the salacious rumor. I assume it isn’t true. (Most of us here have done the same.)

    But when Mason left, and when about 20 players left, I’m now prepared to believe there’s a problem. The reporting worries me. The social media posts do too.

    Here’s how I’m thinking about it now.

    • If some of my students aren’t learning, I try to reach them. If a lot of my students aren’t learning, then I assume I’m doing something wrong.
    • If a politician isn’t reaching their constituents, they need to change their approach.
    • If your business is losing customers, you don’t blame the customers.

    In other words, I don’t think it’s as simple as soft players versus resilient players. Smoke Monday is in no way soft. I imagine there may have been resentments, communication failures, bad assumptions, misunderstandings, a few unhealthy personalities, all sorts of stuff. But in 2022 if you can’t keep your coaches and players, you can’t compete.

    In the NFL, if a coach “loses his team,” it’s over. In college, there may be a chance of learning and growing. I’ve not given up yet, but I’m convinced Harsin has some role in the problems.

    Excellent! My feelings also.

    IMO there is no way Harsin survives this whether he leaves on his own or he is pushed out.

    My guess is they will negotiate a partial buyout to part ways.  This is just WAY too toxic at this point. 

    I agree. This has to be over and move on quickly or this will hurt the Yniversity as a whole a d not just Football.

    I dont see how this ends well for AU either way. It's being talked about all morning on ESPN. It has to be addressed to mitigate further damage. If rumors true, he will be gone. If not true, he probably gone still. Officials at AU have to get in front of this... Do we even have  PR dept

     

    Sorry for asking Titan. Have they spoken to this on ESPN? I just am catching up. Been in the Smokies.

    If this happens and is for cause and can be shown that's the only way I see us surviving in my lifetime. We dont need another story Coach run off. I will admit I was excited to see Coach Harsin get in with the players in the weight room and his ideas to make Auburn football great. I cant deny that I've begun to question Coaches and players leaving and not getting some of the higher rated players. I also have worried about if his personality comming across friendly and outgoing. I will be honest. I wanted Hugh Freeze but I supported this hire. I just pray that this is not a made up hit job and if terminated it's for cause. I love Auburn.

    Coach Derek Mason out?

    Strange times in College Football and Auburn with the Covid-Portal and NIA. Coaching and player carousel. I just want some consistency and stability.  On a high point those Auburn Tigers Basketball Team and Coach Pearl are a fun thing to watch. Makes me feel better!  War Eagle Forever!

    I don’t even think the staff acknowledges DD as a player on the team at this point. 

    Please tell me if I missed something but I have not heard or see Coach Harsin or staff talk or say anything about DD. Very unusual. I have never seen other Teams Coaches do this. Maybe I just missed it.  Confused especially given we dont have that many QBs. Thanks
