He basically said CBH don’t go after stars he goes only goes after players who show interest and want to come to Auburn.. that won’t work here.. you still have to try to recruit greatest talent available to compete in the SEC. When you say stars…do u mean 5 stars? I doubt if coaches recruit off what rating a recruiting site gives a kid. I will say he has to adjust his recruiting philosophy to be successful in the SEC. The Boise recruiting methodology will not work. Hopefully he knows now he has to solicit the big fish just as hard as Saban and Smart do, or his next meeting will result in him being canned.

Just because we haven’t gone to a National Championship since 2013, doesn’t mean our football program was destroyed. Every single season we had hope that if we fixed a thing or two in the off season we’d be there. We always were able to recruit new guys and get guys like Stidham. A destroyed football program is what Arkansas just went through. We haven’t seen that in Auburn for a long long time. stidham was 4 years ago brother. I know that you are hurt over this right now but we have absolutely no say so in the matter. Your opinion and mine are different as well as a lot of people on here. You say every single season we had hope? Yep hope is about all we had. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So here's the thing. He already ran off a bunch of players. He already ran off a bunch of coaches, including- by far- his most valuable assistant and recruiter. So is it really wrong to be disappointed that the reports of the behavior that led to those valuable members of the program leaving didn't result in a better outcome for the football program? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're not actually happy that this dipshit who can't recruit and chases off coaches was retained, and just laughing in a sort of nihilistic way at the PTB getting owned, fine by me. But it sure seems from that post and subsequent posts that you are in fact celebrating that this particular guy will continue to be our coach- not because of what he's done (I mean, you couldn't possibly be), but because of how he's done it. Regardless, you are celebrating perceived egg on the face of a whole lot of people who have nothing to do with hiring or retaining the guy. That's telling. I am excited and I will stand behind this man egg on my face or not. I thought that's what being an Auburn Man was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the Auburn man stuff, I try not to get into that. It's typically virtue signaling of the worst variety. But I'd think that a true definition of it would include wanting what's best for the institution as opposed to one particular representative thereof.

This is a step in the right direction there. It could easily be a step in the worse as well. We - and I include myself - complain about the ham-handed influence of our big money boosters, but without them we're not a top SEC football program. Without them we're still floundering with Gus Malzahn. We allegedly have made a move that is not popular with them, but now we're stuck with Harsin...a guy who is clearly in over his head. If the money does not feel motivated to get involved when this ship inevitably goes further south, we could wake up in 5 years in a situation that makes the UT football saga seem rosy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they want to fire him, they can do so and abide by the contract. I have no problem with that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarEagleT 122 Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 5 minutes ago, AuCivilEng1 said: Work ethic. He wouldn’t even get his his f***ing car and ride down the road the Phenix City to recruit. What does that say about his work ethic? Sounds like his work ethic is wrapped up in working out so he looks good on his Mexican vacations. He acted like a man during all this, while his reputation, abilities, and family were all viciously attacked, and you were, and still are, acting like a boy. You know nothing about the man's work ethic. He's probably had a pretty good work ethic for a while now, going back to when he walked on at Boise and earned a scholarship as a QB. Go rest your overused keyboard fingers so you'll be ready to tear apart whichever next assistant is hired. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Responses cannot include the following irrelevant words or phrases: Well, I'm not celebrating the decision, thats for sure. And I'm not sure Harsin is good for the program either. Time will tell. But I do think this was the right decision and here is the reason: When you hire a coach you have to give him a couple years to succeed or fail based on results. Also, its not a good look if some hillbilly donor can just throw a temper tantrum and get a coach fired after one year over the authority of the AD. People are laughing at Auburn right now and its NOT because of Harsin. Its because the program is a circus and its a circus because there are too many chiefs and not enough Indians. The AD should be the final authority on the athletic department but it doesn't appear that he is. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I do think if he had real eye opener from this and could straighten some of things out and polish up the edges that he could be successful.

Beaker 2,457 Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 (edited) For me; it's all about the recruiting. I spend 3 times more time glancing at recruiting each week than any other forum because I view that as our future. Our future is rarely about the X's and the O's; the HUNH once you cross the 50 or the incredible 2 seasons we had with Nick Marshall are exceptions. Recruiting is a program's lifeblood. I would like to wonder if we will do anything different this Spring, but we are talking about Harsin. Is there any chance he will take on 5-10 key recruits and go recruit them himself? Like Saban and Smart do? You know 'take the lead?' Any chance? Edited February 11, 2022 by Beaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
