Harsin and Auburn Drama (Auburn coaching situation talk)

[PA Tide Fan]

Auburn's schedule for 2022 is so back-loaded that whether the coach is Harsin or someone else they have a chance to start 5-0 since the first 5 are all at JH. Then they head to Athens where the wheels start falling off once again. In the end I see them with a probable 6-6 regular season.

Those 12 fans showing up to support Harsin must have been the game changer

 

[TideEngineer08]

Yeah and that fact makes it one of the dumbest hires in the history of big time football. This is only slightly better than Notre Dame hiring Faust.

True but this is Auburn. This isn't their first rodeo in that arena.

Didn't 2011 start with talk of Kiehl Frazier being a dark horse Heisman candidate?

 

[81usaf92]

Basically I think Missouri and Miss St could be the difference between a 3 win team and a 4 win team for Auburn. Sure it’s possible that they could luck into a 6 win season but that maybe their ceiling without major portal moves. I just don’t see it with this amount of dysfunction.

i usually refrain from picking losing seasons for Auburn but this maybe the easiest to pick.

REPORTS: Bryan Harsin to Remain Auburn Head Coach

A 6-7 season concluding with five straight losses was not even the summit of the problems facing the Auburn Tigers football program following the 2021 season.

I think he'll be fine on the level at which he belongs. Someone like Fresno State, San Diego State, etc. would hire him in a heartbeat if he were available and they needed a coach.

Ain't so sure 'bout that after the "care packages" of warm and fuzzies delivered this week to Harsin's rep from his two previous HC stops. And the transfer portal box score and the NSD no-hitter on his Allburnt CV. More likely an Idahoan homecoming for Harsin as OC for the U. of Idaho Vandals of Moscow, Idaho. Wonder what kind of buyout Idaho would offer next December against his good-riddance money - maybe a guaranteed $500 gate for Allburnt playing an FCS road game up there?

If he indeed stays, the BEST hire AU could make is a GREAT therapist for the program. Dr. Phil might be available. I hear he's in hot water, so it would be a perfect match!

 

[We_are_Bama]

Let the party begin

 

[CrimSonami]

So, if he's being retained does this mean Lee county won't be contributing so greatly the the TP shortage?

I mean how much TP can his 2 dozen supporters throw once they make the "Official" announcement?

 

[Cruiser]

So; how many times did they get turned down by potential replacements? Kinda like the process for hiring him in the first place? Auburn; taking loosing situation, and making it worse.

 

[CrimsonNagus]

It's jetgate all over again. Will these idiots running things down there ever learn?

So, they end up right were they started, with Harsin as their coach. So they aired all their dirty laundry for nothing, just a waste of a bunch of hot air. Do they really think they are in a better position now then when all this started? I doubt Harsin really wants to be retained at this point but, he ain't giving in unless they pay him.

There has got to be some really upset boosters in cowland today. This is now twice in a little over a year that they haven't gotten their way and end up with Harsin.

They couldn't just sit back and enjoy a week of being #1 in basketball.

Harsin just need to hit transfer portal between now and August, and I think he'll be fine.

Georgia got some situation they need to address. their Defense won't be elite and how they respond after winning championship is something to watch. I think Auburn will have between 4-6 losses this fall.

Best case: 4 losses.
Worst case: 7 losses.

 

[CrimsonNagus]

FIFY

I think they’ll resemble 2003 Alabama

He is already a horrible recruiter, and this crap happened. He will be lucky to get a good towel boy to come in from the transfer portal at this point. He is a lam

Georgia got some situation they need to address. their Defense won't be elite and how they respond after winning championship is something to watch.

They ain’t Beating Georgia. I don’t see many people outside of South Carolina and Oregon having a shot at beating them until Atlanta.

Best case: 4 losses.
Worst case: 7 losses.

automatic losses:

1) Bama
2) UGA
3) aTm
4) PSU
5) Ole Miss (they ain’t beating them this year)
6) Arkansas

Probable losses

7) LSU

Up in the air

Missouri and Miss St

 

[TexasBama]

Eight days of this craziness to get to the point that Harsin is their coach. I can’t recall anything more inept.

 

[81usaf92]

Yeah I said as much either in a text or on here. They really have killed their program over this.

I think there may be an opportunity in “fear the thumb” futures

 

[Bama75&80]

Doesn't matter what they decided, they set back the program few years. Recruits is not coming to Auburn because of What BOT pulled. This give Harsbin time to find new job.. which I think he will. Whoever Auburn hire will have a huge mess on their hand and likely to depend on Transfer portal to fix the issue.

Depend or SPEND in the Transfer Portal
