alabastertiger 617 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 If I was in charge I would call Harsin into my office and tell him you're fired. We can handle this 1 of 2 ways. 1. We announce that you are fire and will be replaced by an interim coach, but you agree to take 4 million off of the buyout. Option 2. We announce that you will not be retained after this season, but you will coach the team for the rest of the games. That means you will continue to take these butt whipping each and every week and we'll see who want to hire you after this season. Which option do you want? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sizzle 3,920 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Why would anybody take option 1? Everybody’s taking option 2, you’re not going to fire me early and reduce my pay. Give me the full amount of money I’m owed. I’ll be okay 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll be okay I can't think of his name but a coach at a mid west school not to long ago agreed to take less of a buyout, and there is a chance that we don't win another game. That would hurt an already bad image of Harsin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So announce publicly that he's being fired but still expect him to coach the remainder of the year? This isn't Orgeron and LSU.

Meddling boosters, unreasonable expectations from fanbase, fanbase starting salacious rumors about his family. It looks very similar to Willie Taggart's time at FSU. Where most outsiders think he didn't get a fair chance. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clwn 336 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Amazes me that coaches can suck at their job and not be fired for cause. Instead they are rewarded either way. Talk about a dream profession. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wants to quit then he can quit, but it's on him. He's not quitting and walking away from $16million. We don't know how the nation feels about Harsin's reputation. We DO know how they feel about Auburn's reputation. They feel Harsin has never been supported at Auburn, that the Auburn Administration stabbed him in the back when someone in the AD leaked the investigation in February and drug his family through the mud. They believe the Auburn booster network runs Auburn Athletics and they never backed the man and tried to find cause to fire him 7 months ago so they wouldn't have to pay his buyout. They view Auburn's reputation relative to our Administration as a flipping clown-show with zero honor or integrity with shady boosters working behind the scenes who angle to get their way.

casatiger 514 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 (edited) Hard to believe Harsin winds up in a lateral move situation. Most coaches don't after cratering a program on and off(recruiting) the field. Maybe some program will appreciate a coach that hates recruiting. Taggart may have been treated poorly but he is at Florida Atlantic now. Edited October 13, 2022 by casatiger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taggart may have been treated poorly but he is at Florida Atlantic now. Auburn is the most high-profile job Harsin will ever get. It's big time SEC football and the exposure the SEC brand brings to college football is immeasurable. He hit his pinnacle when he got the Auburn job. He will still find compassion elsewhere and a west coast/mid-west program may pursue him. All he has to do in his interview is point to a dysfunctional Auburn Administration and he can say "I had zero support & I couldn't navigate their booster network", so I failed in my short stint......

If the debate continues concerning the inquiry from February, the university will have no choice other than to be 100% transparent as to the reason for said inquiry. Take it as you will.

j0hnnyRingo 1,445 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Getting embarrassed every weekend isn't going to hurt his resume, EVERYONE knows he was not the choice the boosters wanted as Coach, and because of that he has been set up to fail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I keep seeing folks saying he was set up to fail, I know they made his job a lot harder but he still is the coach and my argument is if he was a good coach then we would not be the train wreck that we are. It was HIS decision as to the offensive/defensive coordinators, it was HIS decision as to who to go after in the portal, it was HIS decision as to lackluster recruiting and not reaching out to HS coaches, its HIS decision as to gameplan and in game adjustments...on and on... I agree that his job was made more difficult but there is plenty to lay at his feet, he has simply shown that he is not that good of a coach at least for the SEC at this point in time, he has nothing to show in the positive column for the most part at all.
