I’m out maybe next year

Big Win for the good guys!!!  War Eagle!!!!

I can tell you that being able to see and discuss what was going in The Nest helped lower my blood pressure through this season!  I have understood the thinking and process and can say 100% it is worth it!!!

Harsin no emotion staring at dinner menu

It is amusing to see so many "Auburn Fans" posting that Harsin should be fired. My guess is that these are fans and not Auburn Alumni.  Alumni would look to the Auburn Creed to see if any and all situations Auburn pass the muster of what the Auburn Creed stands for - Practical, common sense approach to life's issues, hard work and above all fairness.  All this talk of ditching Harsin is falling right into the hands of the Board of Trustees members and boosters who are more interested in their power than what is good for Auburn Football. 

Talk about how Harsin and the assistant coaches he hired fit into some basket of incapable coaches is missing the actual cause of this loss and it is as plain as the nose on your face.  The answer is that Gus is the gift that keeps on giving.  Harsin has had only one full recruiting year and the partial one when he was hired.  No coach should be held responsible for acquiring enough talent in this short time to build a competitive team.  It is just not possible given scholarship limitations. Yep, this is a problem that Gus bestowed upon us.

I saw a post that posed the question, 'When we fire Harsin, who are we going to get to replace him?'  Well who you are you going to get?  Keep up your let's fire Harsin noise and let's set the Auburn Football program back another 6 or 7 years.  And while you are at it,  play into the hands of those who crave power at the expense of Auburn Football,

 

 

GTFOOH with that BS

Bet you won't say it to his face😆

Maybe he should have spent more time at his job and less time in the gym taking pics

Burn it to the ground and start all over….or focus on academics and drop football if we are not serious 

I’m out we are a dysfunctional program not worth my time.  Someone needs to be brought in to get everyone on the same page.  Sad we have come to this.

And don’t ever doubt that when Saban is gone Paul Bryant JR and the rest will be back to doing the exact same thing or worse to Alabama that our PTB are doing now. Saban got control and won which kept them at bay. This is the only thing that saves them from this currently.

I am not as plugged in as others…Hollywood can’t come up with new ideas for movies but what I have seen in 60 years would make a Blockbuster movie that people would swear there is no way it’s true.

Really? I mean I know it exists but does it really do everything that people claim? Some of the stuff that is said make it out to almost be a baba yaga... booogeyman

And the Alabama machine has no influence on Alabama politics.

Tua in an interview after his first national championship: I would like to take this time to thank the University of Alabama for bringing my family over from Hawaii, finding them a house, finding them jobs, and really taking care of my family etc. Tua went on to say: I just really want to thank the University of Alabama for all of this!
 

Upon hearing that I thought to myself: Gee, I wonder how all this is legal?

Yep.  Hoover had first shot but said he would have to compete for starting job….Thompson was more than happy to provide the starting job and to go get wide receivers to assist.

STILLWATER – There is a report out on Twitter linking current Auburn defensive coordinator Derek Mason to the vacant Oklahoma State defensive coordinator position. Mason is an outstanding coach that crossed paths with Oklahoma State as the assistant head coach and co-defensive coordinator for Stanford and head coach David Shaw when Oklahoma State beat the Cardinal in overtime in the Fiesta Bowl 41-38 on Jan. 2, 2012.

Derek Mason at Auburn

Mason is the highest paid assistant coach on the staff of Auburn head coach Bryan Harsin. He is making $1.5 million annually. Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy has spoke of the need to take advantage of the situation the Cowboys are in with their football program. One of those areas is coaches’ salaries and our sources have told us that Gundy might be able to go as high as $1.5-million in hiring the new defensive coordinator. We have also been told that raises for all of the full-time Oklahoma State assistant coaches in the works soon. Perhaps as soon as this week’s Oklahoma State Board of Regents meeting.

The question is would Mason take a lateral move in position and salary. He and Gundy have never coached together before and the resumes don’t line up with any common coaching connections. That isn’t always the case with Gundy hires as he has hired coaches, he was unfamiliar with in the past until he interviewed them.

Another hang up with Mason is that he has coached cornerbacks and defensive backs primarily in his career. If the current staff were to remain with the positions they’ve been coaching, then the defensive coordinator or as happened with Jim Knowles, a younger coach, would need to coach the linebacker position. Under Knowles, most recently Koy McFarland and prior to that current Houston Baptist defensive coordinator Shane Eachus coached the linebackers.

Gundy told Pokes Report last Friday he was going outside to hire a new DC.

Pokes Report put out a list of potential defensive coordinators with NFL and college backgrounds last weekend. It was on Triple Play Sports Radio and here on Pokes Report that Gundy first made public that he was going outside the current staff to make the defensive coordinator hire.

We believe that North Carolina State defensive coordinator Tony Gibson, Minnesota defensive coordinator Joe Rossi, UAB defensive coordinator David Reeves, and Houston defensive coordinator Doug Belk are potential candidates.

Going to take a deep breath and sleep on this one.  This needs to be addressed tomorrow by Harsin/Mason.  I know we are in a new world I just don’t know how you recruit players with one foot out the door (if true) and have any credibility.

Game has changed.  Harsin had to go with the hand that was dealt him.  With portal next years team will not resemble this one.  Year after even bigger changes.  Coaches will adapt or move on.  I think Harsin gets it and will give him the time.  I hate losing but have hope for the future.

Been bad all year for everyone.  Look at last drive in Iron Bowl.  Not sure if they are that bad or have an agenda.

Another way our standards have been lowered I guess, lol

Exactly, I have been around a long time and our standards shouldn’t be lowered. That speaks to the current state of our program.  40 years ago I would be beside myself now it’s JABA

Just when we thought the thread ideas couldn’t get more moronic than the “Fired Gus To Soon” thread we have another contender for an all timer. Glad to see people stepping up their game late in the year here

Seriously no one has even been posting all week at least there is some life.

By keeping TJ in on one leg. Made us one dimensional. Put in DD and run read at least.

Also not calling a timeout and dialing up your best play one 3rd and 2 to win the game. 

Backbreaking.

100%

That was coaching 

So tired of Auburn coaches playing not to lose instead of playing to win
