aubiefifty 16,822 Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 does the damage get worse than it is if we wait? do we continue to let him destroy recruiting? the sooner we change coaching staffs the sooner most of the negatives go away right? well for the most part. do we try to be honorable and let him ride the rest of the year and maybe even next year even though it hurts us? there is not enough pot in the world to get me to watch the jawja game. right now i just hope we at least play hard the rest of the season. so many of us got tired of the gus mess and adding in the harsin thing i think we are more wore down and weary than i have ever seen auburn fans. lots of anger among the auburn fans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way that guy stays is if we can't raise the money to pay him off. With his lack of recruiting, next year will make this year look positively sunny in comparison and I don't think the boosters are so cynical as to send the program into the tank for a decade or more to prove a point.

I_M4_AU 7,865 Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 It might have to wait until Harsin loses the team similar to how Chizik did in 2012. Harsin has a propensity for holding a lead and going for it on 4th down that blows up in his face and is the catalyst for our opponent to come back for a win. He did it at SC last year, in the IB last year, he would have another bone headed move in the Missouri game if they would have made that chip shot of a field goal and, of course, last night that lead to the go ahead TD. The team is behind him, but if he keeps it up and greatly puts the defense in a no win situation the questions will start to rise in the one group he is counting on. That is when, in 2012, the possibility of firing Chizik just two years removed from a NC started to become a reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bro Johnny Mac 1,398 Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 It depends on how the UGA game goes down If we get curb stomped, it’s the bye week. If it’s another close game at half and another second half collapse bye week. If we have a strong showing in the second half and it’s close, end of season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wont get a replaced named until December for sure unless we talked with someone who is not coaching now or maybe an analyst. An interim, especially if it’s a position coach like Zach or Caddy, can re-energize a team. In addition, with recruiting being almost entirely done by December, we absolutely cannot afford to let Harsin finish the season. We can’t. If we have an interim like Caddy, the president/acting AD can likely give him assurance they’ll fight hard for him to stay on the next staff - that way he can tell recruits he’ll be with them regardless of who the HC hire is. We need a new coach hired like a day after the Iron Bowl. That will give us a tiny amount of time to close for ENSD. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HC and recruiting coordinator). That gives no hope (to team), maybe the fans would be glad to see Harsin go, but most of the time the team just dog paddles through the rest of the season and in this new world most transfer (no hope there). I don’t see us getting a replacement b4 iron bowl. Actual coaches that are coaching wont publicly talk about it or meet. Your only option is Meyer( which would make some on here happy). The only way anything like that happens is if someone (individual) is given full authority to hire and agree to terms. When has that happened at AU. We do committee’s.

There have been lots of examples of kids rallying around an interim - Coach O at USC and Dabo started as an interim at Clemson. The kids know that it’s a huge career shot for that coach, and also a chance to refresh the season. They’ll play hard if it’s Zach or Caddy. Especially since Harsin only recruited a small number of the current team. They’re mostly there for Auburn. They aren’t going to transfer or quit once he is out. We absolutely 100% need and will have a coach before ENSD. We’ll have someone to point to while recruiting and say “this guy is gonna be here”. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with Zach, not Caddy due to actual coaching experience. Also agree (if they decide to fire snd hire will try to have one in place just before ENSD, more than 3 weejs after last game for AU (unless we go to bowl game). You named a couple that have been successful (interims). There are typically 15-25 coaches fired every year with most of them having some type of transition coach involved. Highest percentage are not effective for that season ( Steel actually became a professional transition coach). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would show recriuts he's gone and change is comming.........actually does it matter, not like Harsin recruits and if he did he can't coach so either way it's dark times.
