I was thinking a week minimum Imo it's impossible to do due diligence in such a short time-frame. @Elephant Tipper here ya go. A investigation that is is similar to discovery in a lawsuit takes weeks unless you have 10-20 associates all doing it even then would probably still take days. Unless the investigation has been going for months now, which my original statement was not assuming, I find it hard to believe they were able to do due diligence in a couple of days.

Probably not worth even that, ha. I have a friend close to au athletics. I don't ask specific Qs about programs or people. I honor our friendship too much. But we do chat about general state of things. What I know that isn't reflected on this site very much is that its not accurate to say (and maybe not fair depending on your perspective) to interpret this as a recent set of events where "PTB" are creating this situation in some form. It's has a much longer window (where the mistakes have piled up) than what we are seeing in the last couple days. From my understanding, what players are saying is mostly accurate (both sides). Harsin is all about winning football games. He has respect as a coach. On flip side he doesn't manage relationships at all. There is a complete disconnect to building "men" and guiding their future in life -- literally and in context of their personal background. There is not an investment there. In addition, he has not engaged in understanding AU history or football history. Not engaged with high schools and coaches. That I know. In my opinion now, there is an arrogance on top of it all about his coaching ability. He is a good football coach, but this is the SEC. There are great coaches everywhere. Add to it the mass exodus of people, and legal has been involved for weeks (as they should when ANY person has this many people leaving AND your paying a lot of $ to some of those to leave) on top of a bad season, and this is all puts him and the University in a tough spot. This is where the BOT is evaluating all of this at this point. The best coaches I had always coached from love. They care about you first and foremost. Then, they were hard and demanded excellence. I think Harsin skips the first part and he will pay for it, because at Au, we care deeply about our place, history and people around us, with with sports as an integral part of that. There is little disagreement on that front amongst us -- Fans, BOT, players, former players and Boosters. Unfortunately for him, he didn't understand that. WDE Some tried to explain this when he was hired, but people were just so excited to get rid of Gus, they didn’t want to listen. On a sidenote: was anything mentioned about his wife and daughters leather pants and hooker boots when they walked into Auburn’s country club type social events? Asking for a friend. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for firing - good for him. At some point he has to decide for himself the circumstances in which he is willing to stay. In fact, that could be the genesis of the current effort to sabotage him. Yes, good for him. Firing 6 coaches, that he hired, in 13 months, good for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
