If it’s just going to be the Bama UGA TaMu show then people are going to lose interest. Need the usc Ohio states to actually be able to compete. Alabama was probably the better team last year, but losing Trey Sermon at the start of the game was a big blow to the Buckeyes ability to compete. He had run for over 500 yards in his last two games before going down on the first drive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Beamer would be a pretty bad hire, but he looks to be doing some good things at USCe. Is this satire? Are you being sarcastic?

But no. Let's wait and play catch up instead, while our 2 next door neighbors are building dynasties. That's not on Harsin.

We tend to award our coach with an out landish contract for winning the state title and a victory over UGA, that is all that matter to this fan base, not the playoffs or SEC championship. Barbee wanted NIKE and that started the pissing contest but at the end of the day he was right because under armour is hot garbage. Good points, but Lebo got much more out of his players than Barbee. Barbee ignored state and SE talent, but preferred to get on a plane and fly to the ends of the earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would argue that they haven't been more successful in the portal either. I haven't had a chance to go look at what their portal guys did in 2021, but I know what ours did. I guess you base this conclusion solely on QB position you could argue they have done better in the portal, but again we aren't done and that distinction will be easier made after next season.

Harsin is 1 year in playing with Gus' failure of a roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dual-Threat Rigby 8,819 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Idk why the anti Gusters can’t just concede to the pro Gusters that maybe one or two of the losses were because of coaching (the PSU game objectively was) Give them a branch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching our 2 biggest rivals play AGAIN tonight makes me sad. 2 times in the last 5 years. When will it stop? Not for a while now. I blame Jacobs. I blame Gus. I blame Auburn. Our 2 biggest rivals have dominated recruiting for years and years and have reached the point where we can’t compete for championships. We should have fired Gus years ago and brought in someone like Kirby. I do not like him but he can recruit. Maybe We should have hired Mario last year or someone that could recruit. We are soooo far behind right now. I have no idea if Harsin will be any good but His first year was not ideal. However he really has no chance going forward unless we can get a miracle Hail Mary last minute QB prospect and 4 new OL… oh and some WRs. The cupboard is bare. I have seen what hiring a coach like Bruce can do for a program. It brings in talent. And then you start to win championships. Hahahaha ok rant over. I feel better. Time to see if CW is visiting. I didn't even bother to read the rest of you post after you wrote "The teams with the best players win". since that is totally a false statement with history in all sports showing the team with the best players win does NOT always win. After that I didn't see much of a reason to read the rest of your possible errors of your ways. If you are joking please put the laughing emoji at the top of your post to warn us...

If Barbee is so good why hasn't he landed another HC job? Actually KY has gone down a little since he got there. He was a nice guy but not a good coach, at least at AU.

As far as the "much better QB" We will see this season. I have never been high on Spencer Rattler. Maybe he proves me wrong this year playing much better competition with much less surrounding talent who knows. As far as Ol...yea they signed three 3* guys. We signed one ranked higher than all of theirs and we are not done. It was known we were going to hit the portal for OL due to the way the roster is set up. We need immediate help more than developmental projects for 2-3 years later. Ultimately the class isn't done so this is a moot point, but they are not out recruiting us nor have they yet.
