Then what are you saying? This is a bumped thread and someone thought Austin might be a good fit at OC and you compared it to a Harsin move.

Honestly, 3-5 isn't that unrealistic. Beat two cupcakes and one of Cal/Arky. Lose to as a home favorite to one of the above gorgeous Hugh's annual bad loss. Then lose to Oklahoma, UGA, Mizzou, Kentucky....all whom we'll be underdogs against. I think we'll be 4-4 after thwr stretch but 3-5 isn't crazy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harsin replaced his 1st OC with his follow along coach that was an off the field assistant. It's what was being suggested in the bumped post. It's apples to apples Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would he follow the Harsin blueprint? That blueprint got him fired. Why not predict his firing if that’s what you foresee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we'll be 4-4 after thwr stretch but 3-5 isn't crazy 3-5 could easily happen and you're right 4-4 is realistic. I think 5-3 with a win over Arkansas and either Kentucky or Mizzou is what's needed to show progress. Finishing with wins over Vandy, ULM and A&M seems unfathomable, but sets the tone for a big match up in Tuscaloosa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m agreeing that they wasted Bo’s talent. Kent Austin did the opposite and turned Malik Willis into an MVP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously he would be foolish to follow that blueprint unless he wants to get paid and ruin his reputation, but you've got to admit that their 1st seasons have been eerily similar. The close Iron Bowl losses, the bowl game loss, the firing of the OC, rumors of the DC leaving, possibly promoting from within for the OC job, etc. FWIW I hope Freeze gets it turned around, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't concerned with all that's transpired. I expected more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the baseline, not doing that will be regression. Mizzou is going to be really tough, possibly our 3rd hardest game....especially since it is away. I'd love to beat either Kentucky or A&M to get to 7 wins. Not sure which will be easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said I needed to stay on topic and I was on topic. So don’t hem and haw just predict Freeze will be fired this season because he may hire Austin as his OC. You can refer to is for eternity that you saw this coming and will solidify you as a Nostredamus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
