aubiefifty 17,300 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Auburn quote: "So far we hear that it is a total culture change. He’s (new head coach Bryan Harsin) a grinder. Detail-oriented, first-year stuff where he thinks everything should change. Wants to kill off any of that image that Gus’ [Malzahn] teams had and make it about running the ball and blue-collar and all that. But does he have a clue about recruiting? That’s the single biggest question right now in the league." quote: "The real reason Gus is out isn’t because Auburn fell behind Alabama, it’s because they fell behind Clemson and Georgia and Florida. Is a guy from Boise going to fix that?" quote: "They’re going to try and put a physical culture in. One-on-ones, WRs against DBs in practice. Get mean, that kind of stuff. This was an outside zone run team that’s gonna throw everything into the inside run game. Harsin sold them on being a blue-collar team, being Pat Dye." quote: "Derek Mason’s defense is going to be interesting and it may have to carry them early on, because if they dump in all that shift and motion stuff, that offense is used to looking at a single play card. It might be a tough learning curve." quote: "At Vandy Mason would scheme you to death. He would do a lot to try to hide the talent gap, and sometimes it worked. What’s it going to look like at a place where he has a better defense than he ever did at Vanderbilt or Stanford? Day one he’s got more to work with than ever. Do they simplify? What does their base defense look like? That’s the most important thing for them until they can bring the offense along.” 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TXaubie 567 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 The first quote that asked “if he (Harsin) had a clue about recruiting?” With the transfer portal blowing up. The real question is does anybody have a clue about recruiting anymore? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravejd 3,280 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Sounds like Mason has the respect of his fellow coaches and Harsin is going to have to earn that respect. And that is to be expected in the SEC where we fully believe all other leagues are inferior lol. Gus Malzahn getting fired because he fell behind Bama and uga? We were consistently behind a lot more teams than that and falling further behind....that is why he got fired. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank2020 3,228 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 There are several things that jump out at me about anonymous quotes of head coach’s: 1.it being anonymous, they can be more honest and critical. 2. It being anonymous, they can be untruthful wo fear of reprisals. 3. They do not have to explain or give reasons for what they say. 4. Free shot to negatively recruit wo concern that someone will find out it was them(usually have risk of recruit or recruits family letting it out). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gowebb11 9,488 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Success in recruiting ultimately resides in winning big. Harsin has a recipe and history for that. And he’s assembled a great staff that can recruit and develop. “Build it and they will come.” WDE 🦅 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USATiger 741 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 (edited) I'd be willing to bet there aren't any quotes from Coach Harsin in this article. Unless this is something the SID sent Harsin, it went straight to the virtual trash can. Harsin ain't got time for this bull, and I like it. Harsin don't play dat!!!

woodford 3,682 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 There’s only two coaches in the SEC that can legitimately s*** talk Auburn. Nick and Kirby. Maybe Coach Eaux but he knows his time may be ending soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
