Auburn football is in a FULL reboot mode with our new coaching staff. I would argue that it’s challenging enough to retool a football program when conditions are normal in college athletics. That being said this staff is not only rebuilding our program but within the last year Harsin and his staff has had to deal with…..
- Poor leadership within the University and past coaching staff. (Contracts, recruiting, culture)
- A legacy QB and his family influence on the program
- Serious deficiencies in particular position groups.
- Navigation of a pandemic and it’s impact on early recruitment opportunities.
- NIL influence on players staying transferring and their overall commitment.
- Our two biggest rivals having historical success in winning and recruiting.
We all want the football program and coach Harsin to succeed. But given how the cards have been dealt it may take longer to get to where He and We all want to be.
