He’d likely be retained or become the next HC. That’s right, we would surely hire the guy that was fired from Vandy. I have no idea why he left AU but he sure had to go somewhere after Vandy if he hoped to resurrect a HC job. This would have been a more ridiculous hire than Steel based on his HC resume. At least Steel has had some success as a DC since his last humiliating outcome as a HC. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I did read that here & it would make sense considering how different we looked, scheme wise. Maybe I’m one of the few that’s happy DM is gone. Got tired of seeing that 20 yard cushion. Good riddance. If you read it on here it had to be true because there are no rumors on here 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's bad. But it's true. There's no need to be in denial about that. The real facts are that you don’t know if it’s true. It’s your story, your opinion, and that’s all it is. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the first time I think I’ve seen our fans truly not have any clue about a coach. The guy is an 8 or 9 out of 10, and everyone acts like he was a fledgling 3 or 4 desperate for a job. I thought so too as far as the fan base but when everybody believed everything with the coach corn situation I saw how not smart we can be. As far as Mason I don't know what's wrong with us. I don't see how you can know anything about football and really not see Mason is a good coach 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fine when I speak on him I'm not talking about him being fired I'm talking about a random nobody saying something like the wr 's couldn't get lined up 14 times in one game and EVERYBODY going along with that. With this latest situation with Harsin some people finally slowed down and finally had a brain cell to ask hey where is this info coming from and shouldn't we wait to see if it's true? But it took a while to get to that point. It was like our fan base didn't understand what Twitter was or how it worked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s weird everyone blamed Mason for the Mississippi state collapse and I get that but he wasn’t getting any credit shutting down Alabama.

aucanucktiger 1,805 Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Mason has an odd bunch of groupies that consider him an awesome DC and hot candidate for HC. In 8 season's hes never had a winning season as a head coach and as DC he was in charge when the D gave up the biggest lead for a loss in Auburn HISTORY (Miss St). He put together solid plans against Bama (ignore final drive) and a couple others but his better than average talent was utterly unprepared for UGa and most other games. The guy knows how to adjust though and made some good moves at halftime. His recruiting was ok. These fan boys wont hear heresy like Mason moved on because job security was iffy here. Up & comers and hot candidates dont take large pay cuts to leave for...Ok state. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like people forgot this defense was in their first year with no experience at all on the D line. Do you know how good this D was going to be when we actually recruited guys with size to play the positions? When we actually had DEPTH so we could play aggressive and blitz a bunch and all of that? The defense we was going to have if he had stayed and Hunter and peges, height and those guys.......it was going to be so good Our fan base though........it's incredible the excuses they come up with for the people that fit in and the reasons they come up with to hate someone that don't. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butthead 525 Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 17 hours ago, AUght2win said: Man. See this is exactly what I’m talking about. People trying to rationalize or brush it off. Again, find me a comparable example if this just part of the normal coaching carousel. And for the record, coaching major college football is not comparable to hardly any career field out there. Honestly. It is so wildly different from pay scale to work-life balance to relocation to job security to coworkers to internal and external pressure. If you really think “Harsin being a demanding boss” is the reason a man would take a 400 grand paycut, move 500 miles to Stillwater, Oklahoma, for a lateral job at a worse school in a bad conference where he has no connections… Then you must be new to football. Bruh-I am not saying Harsin has done a good job but if we had won the Turd game and signed a top 5 recruiting class nobody would be complaining about Harsin being an A hole or our DC leaving. The only time I can recall anyone raising a question about Saban running off a coordinator was when Lane left and that was only due to timing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auburnphan 6,050 Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 I think some things were obvious with both coordinators. Harsin did not like Bobo’s play calling and he was not a fan of Mason’s bend but don’t break relaxed defense style. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wcware 1,365 Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 2 hours ago, AUght2win said: Okay. I’ll bite. Why would Mason flee this? If Harsin gets fired he either gets retained by the next Auburn coach, BECOMES the next Auburn coach, or finds another job instantly. I don’t understand the logic of him “jumping ship”. Why would he need to? His resume speaks for itself and he would be fine if the Auburn football program closed up tomorrow. It was never meant to be bait. It’s just a thought I had and I had never seen anyone discussing it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
