I think almost any coordinator is up for grabs for a job like Auburn even with the controversy. I wouldn't mind Grimes, TWill, or even someone like Dell McGee.

I don't agree with the article, especially about Pearl, but I don't think anyone can deny that Auburn is doing a VERY good job at making itself look bad right now.

AUTUmike 79 Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 The "variety of perspectives" piece of that AU statement is interesting to me. If there is a violation of his contract, there is no need for a variety of viewpoints IMO (i.e., its objectively binary). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks bad but this is what Auburn needed. I am 10000000% sure of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aublue88 145 Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 There had better be proof if he is gone. Auburn should be careful with not only their national perception but also within the AU family. I as an AU lifelong fan, AU alumnus, AU donor and AU teacher am disgusted with every part of it. If they had cause from the beginning, it should have been over quickly and quietly. What coach with any integrity would come here to be a part of this? I hope I am wrong in my thoughts and that there is justifiable cause and that the method used to handle it was JABA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope I am wrong in my thoughts and that there is justifiable cause and that the method used to handle it was JABA. I think the big disconnect here is that AU was probably doing a quiet investigation of this for a while when it got leaked. It was probably a secretary of one of the BOT or something seeing meeting notes/documents about them addressing the Harsin situation in the Friday meeting, and they leaked it to a paywall site. I think this just got away from the university and it really sounds like it wasn't their fault. Another writer basically confirmed that an investigation had been going on before the initial news broke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, Freeze or Gundy doesn’t sound too bad That would be hilarious if Gundy came. He might even bring back DC. BTW-he already makes over 4 mill/ year at his alma matre.

Americans have, for way too long, equated monetary success with virtue and intelligence. That is a complete crock. I am reminded of the old adage "a fool and his money are soon parted". Certainly there is some luck involved in wealth, but most of the times there is also brains and good judgement. I don't buy the fact that most wealthy people in this country got there by pure luck, though I am sure some did. I do concur with you about the virtue though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most schools renew before the final contract year, but sounds like Auburn is just willing to let it expire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
