AUCE05 369 Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 I for one am glad for these moves minus Mason. If you can't beat GA St as a QB or have to situation awareness to stay in bounds as a RB, then good luck at JSU. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W.E.D 11,070 Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Outside OL, I think Signing Day this week should be fine. I'm not too woried about the OC. I think it's clear it'll be the Seattle QB coach & I'm OK with that as Harsin is going to be the defacto OC. Mason is just talk and random lists from Aggies Sites, not true connection. I agree on Tank/Bo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might not work out, but it also might do wonders. Either way, patience is the key, but it is not had in such an instant gratification medium. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it appears that what a lot of Gus' holdovers saw out of CBH, they were less than happy to wait and see what could be accomplished but nevertheless we will all have to wait and see what happens with an entire team under his vision.

Maybe. If Harsin can't kill it in the portal this off-season, we're looking at a very rough 2022 with new investment in facilities, an AD who is allegedly not very popular with PTB, potentially a new president and likely a not very thrilled fanbase. I don't think many teams in the SEC are patient. There's just too much money in question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurbis 578 Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 When Barbee was hired in basketball I remember thinking he was going to be really good. And after 4 years of really bad basketball that proved not to be the case and we got Pearl. Maybe Harsin is our football version of Barbee and this doesn't work out and things get worse or maybe he is our Pearl. We gave Barbee 4 years to see he wasn't right for the job and it took Pearl 4 years before his first winning season in the SEC. I also remember in Saban's first year at bama, they lost to ULM. And somebody on a radio show in Birmingham, may have been Finebaum, asked about the best and worst losses in recent memory and fans said the big bama win over Florida where Prothro got hurt and the bama loss to ULM were the best and worst. And they were making a huge deal out of the best win being under Shula and the worst being under Saban and fans were extremely unhappy about the direction of the team at the time. And that still stands out to me when thinking about the success bama has had since then and how nobody even thinks about Shula let alone a meaningless win over Florida. The biggest thing is whatever is happening today is not going to be the final word on where the program ends up under Harsin but more so we need to give Harsin time to see who he is going to be. Maybe it works out and maybe it doesn't but all of the doom and gloom fire him now stuff is really absurd. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florida is now on #4 since Urban Crier. A&M is on #5 since R.C. Slocum. Bammer went through 5 between Stallings and Saban. No need to even mention Tennessee. We at AU have been lucky. Even with Chizik who only lasted four years, we got a national championship. Gus never had a losing season. Back to Dye and Bowden we've had good luck. I hope it hasn't run out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VAtiger12 112 Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 I'm happy to let Harsin work through all of this. He has put himself in a position where there will be no doubt he's doing it his way. It very much remains to be seen whether that will bear any fruit. I do think though that momentum is super important in CFB and the SEC especially - considering who we are fighting with every year. So I think if it really is going to be a multi-year rebuild he has to make sure he is showing positive signs of life relatively quickly or else the momentum will just be very difficult to turn. I don't think he's going to have 4-5 years to do a full rebuild. I just can't see the PTB riding out mediocre seasons until then. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno, for Auburns sake I hope it works out, I will wait and see what happens on the recruiting side of things. Right now with all of the exports you need to have some imports to balance things out. If he is unable to get the recruits then not sure how successful he will be long term, again I want Auburn to be successful just hoping it works out, I guess we will have to wait and see as his vision expands....

After I saw what he got out of Gus' holdovers, I'm more than happy to wait and see what he accomplishes with an entire team under his vision. What is interesting to me is; many Auburn fans were glad to see Gus go and knew it was going to be a long road back to build an offense based on the lack of talent we had on the OL. We knew it could not happen overnight and were willing to wait for the results. Now, it appears, Auburn fans have forgotten how long it will be for Harsin to improve our OL and want that improvement NOW. I’m not sure when this changed, but I expect when we were 6-2 and in control of our own destiny in the SEC West and the fan base had visions of 2019, I know I did. Then the ridged rod of reality struck and we are now 6-6. I believe, with patients, we will see Harsin’s vision as we maybe hiring a OC/QB coach from the NFL and, it appears, the PTB are not getting in the way of who Harsin hires. We have been critical of hires Gus made as the PTB were meddling in his affairs. It really doesn’t seem to be the case this time around. We should be celebrating this news and maybe we can finally bury the JABA monicker at long last. WDE for a bright future. “You only have two options; having fun or freaking out”.
