What does that exactly mean?

[Dual-Threat Rigby 8,817]

I would imagine if you interviewed any candidate who declined Auburn, they'd say the same 

Hopefully whenever Harsin's tenure ends, he gives a definitive answer to whether they forced certain offensive candidates on his staff (as it appears was the case)

Why? What evidence do you have of this? Sure seems he was able to fire Bobo and now seems set to be hiring the person he wants as coordinator. Why would this suddenly change if what your saying is correct? This argument that Harsin was forced to hire (insert name here) is just an excuse used by those wanting to defend Harsin's performance without any actual evidence of it being accurate.

Alignment can mean many things - conference/division alignment?

Alignment of what?  The Auburn Administration, AD, AU BOT?

I think Harsin had 100% control of his staff.  He's a straight forward coach with a driven personality and he'd never allow others to treat him as a highly paid puppet.

Alignment? It sounds like we still have some meddling going on by the PTB. That's the only reason someone of his stature says something like that.

I don’t know, he’s fired two coaches in three months, it looks like he’s in control.

Pretty sure he's talking AU's power structure.  Still, he was like option #4 ... stupid sound bite on his part, especially with OU heading to the SEC.

Auburn University - The Chaotic Neutral of college athletics doesn't do it for Brent Venables?

Weak...

[auburnfaithful72 125]

The fact Au is in the same state with Bama and has to recruit against # 1 State school every year.. OU is much easier job than Au.. it scares a lot of coaches away.. Harsin aint scared.. We have the right man for the job..

My favorite part of this is that we get to see who here are closet nerds. 

Side-thread: is AU chaotic neutral? If not, what alignment are we? Answer the question in the form of a bardic saga.

40m00s.  The video link goes right to the start of the comment.

This is what I tell women when I don't want a second date.

"Sorry, I just don't like the alignment here between us".

IMHO alignment would mean: total understanding and agreement on the mission, philosophy, and strategy of a successful program. Think Alabama and Saban…in this case Saban essentially sets the agenda. I’m sure there is discussion and disagreement, but Saban usually gets what he wants and no negatives spill into public view. Auburn has a long checkered history of booster, PTB meddling on who’s hired, who plays, what facilities get approved, taking a bus instead of flying, etc. In other words there is a lack of alignment from the President to the AD to the administration overseeing the football program. The head coach is ham strung trying to implement his program because of the lack of commitment in what he is doing. Thus you get JABA.

This is true. You're either born with the alignment or you aren't. 

[Swamp Eagle 5,156]

Too many hands on deck..

[1716AU 732]

I just can't see ANYTHING other than speaking about the conference alignment.  

Just go somewhere that its easy peasy and get your check
