The vibe I’m getting from some here is that the “Boise Boys” and “Potato Gang” references to CBH and his coaches seem to carry a undertone of negativity and disrespect because they are “outsiders” or “their not from around here”. 
 

Friendly reminder- CBH chose to leave a comfortable place where he and his “boys” were very successful in order to compete and win against the best football programs in the country. 
 

I personally applaud and respect that drive and character within a leader no matter where they are from. 
 

Growing pains are painful and we are certainly experiencing those but let’s not let those pains become excuses to create negative stereotypes for CBH and his staff as they work through the challenges of this build. War Eagle!

I keep hearing  people say a " Harsin style QB". I haven't researched what that means.. Is he more open to dual threat than Bobo? What kinda  QB did he have at Boise.?Seems like we have the extreme skill set in QB room from Finley ( pocket passer) to DD (true dual threat)

From what I can tell he is open to a dual threat QB to some degree. But abilities that lean towards a throw first run if necessary style seem to be preferred. 
 

I don’t think Harsin would have recruited DD to the team given what we have seen so far. But that that “Harsin style “ might be more fluid given the state of our Olive. 
 

All speculation of course 🤷‍♀️

I think we will really see how good of a QB coach we have CAD. Should be interesting 

February 5th Basketball tickets in Athens. Need two tickets. Thanks!

Pittman, Kiffin and Beamer faced many of the same challenges. The first two guys won at least 9 games their second years and the third guy won his bowl game, got Spencer Rattler to transfer, and likely as a result of the second point is projected ahead of us in all the early forecasts I could find.

True. All CFB coaches are experiencing similar challenges but key words that cause your shot to miss “their second years”. Reminder, we beat both second year 9 win coaches. 

Since were speculating on QBs….Does a healthy Nix win us two additional games therefore squelching the whining of our first year HC haters???

Humorous to see this downvoted. Unless folks think you meant to capitalize "He" at the end there, lol. Gotta admit, that would be a little weird. 

Tough crowd. Yeah, He as in emphasis on Harsin. Not the He. 😂

I would add that they had to deal with some problems he brought with him and some apparent poor coaching staff selections.

What would say were the problems that Harsin brought with him? 

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. 

Could be very interesting to see how he develops under Coach Davis for the next year 

Oh Snap!!!! 

If anyone is looking to sell would love to see our Tigers beat the dogs in Athens. War Eagle
