My son (the Aubie) stays pretty "clued in" on stuff like this. He said last night most are simply saying "it will be resolved one way or another by COB today". He is either in or out, and my son was saying most believe he will be retained. Unbelievable.....
Not if you keep Harsin, bring in Hugh Freeze as OC - and then promote him next year.
Auburn insiders are pretty idiotic. You have people like Marcelo and Wilborn who are overly optimistic and know nothing, then you have people like Marshall and Cubelic that know a few things that are kinda of in the middle of optimistic and pessimistic, and finally you have people like jboy and Tate who totally make crap up 90% of the time. I would say in all honesty that Sallee and Hokinson are probably the more accurate ones in the Auburn camp because they generally don’t let stuff slip until they absolutely know what is going on.When the Aubies are “eating” their own insiders such as Marshall, Hokinson, and Marcello like a free meal at Golden Corral, it is an exceptional day…
The OC will probably be handpicked by the AD (boosters). A good deal of this moving forward has to do with the last OC being forced out for cause.Assuming that Harsin is retained, what quality OC (in his right mind) would be remotely interested in taking that job? (They would have to be significant buyout into that contract,for sure.)
IMHO, he will have to promote from within the program. THEN, the problem would be who would be interested in taking that assistant's position? They would have to find a GA to fill THAT role.
The barner PTB have really made Harsin's job a lot more difficult...
Worse. I think there are only 3 guaranteed wins for them. Which makes this even more crazy. The guy is out in December regardless, and I don’t understand Harsin fighting for 4-5 million in an effort that is only going to kill his resume.
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.
It’s his nature. He can’t see the “big picture”. He would “tear down his entire house” to patch a hole in the roof. Some folks just can’t get out of their own way. That is Harsin.
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.
As you're a fan of quotes from Batman films...
