The party responsible for vetting the Harsin hiring should be called into question.

Yeah I read the article earlier. It's not a good look. Pretty sure skipping pressers is a violation of contract. So the AD coulda fired him and maybe even for cause.

This entire ordeal from his hiring to his firing is about the most perplexing thing I have seen from Auburn University

All these stories can suck my balls. All for the clicks and $. We have more than enough players backing him saying how he is as a football coach. Is he a hardass? Yes. Is he someone that doesn’t allow outsiders and full access to his program? Also yes. Y’all wanted someone to change the culture. Then when it happens you want us to go back to another fricking yes man. Alabama did this over and over until the boosters finally backed off Saban.

Am I saying he is Saban? Absolutely not. But let the man do his thing and gtfo of the way. Let him operate how he wants for 3 years. If it doesn’t pan out, ok. But this bullshite of firing someone after a year because he’s a big ole meanie and doesn’t give boosters what they want in the program is good Imo. We all wanted serious change and we got it. Now we wanna go back to a yes man? frick no. If we allow boosters to run our program we’ll be Tennessee or worse. Let the man coach and build a program and stop being a bitch (media mostly) if he isn’t some arse kisser.

I have no problem with him being a hardass to players and pushing them.

I do have a problem with him being a toxic boss to other GROWN arse men on his staff. The Boise guys seem to be used to it, but Harsin is gonna have a hard time acquiring new assistants in SEC country if he has a rep of being Saban without the rings.

This is a legitimate concern. It’s also a legitimate concern that we could end up in the same place if recruiting continues to spiral for the 3 year period you propose.

I hate what is going on as much as anyone. But as humble outsiders, we have to consider those that support the program financially and are closer to the situation may have this right. The evidence suggests they could be correct.

This has ensured no other coach will ever come here and change the culture. All of this incompetence and embarrassment? It's here to stay forever.

Our boosters backed off Pearl.

Can’t just back off a guy that is brand new to big boy football and totally dismisses the idea of recruiting.

Pure fear mongering. You talk a big talk yet too cowardly to fix the mistake. I’m guessing you have a huge truck too.

So you think the laughable coaching searches, public snafus, booster meddling, incompetent hires and deals and witch hunts like this came with Harsin and are going to disappear with him? That'll probably be the funniest thing I'll read all day.

If the PTB ever got this guy yeah that shite would stop.

PTB didn’t even hire Harsin. Greene did, and y’all loved that fact.

They didn’t force Harsin to be a dick to his own coaches and to dismiss recruiting altogether

They’re trying to get rid of Harsin, the actual incompetent coach.

If anything, you’re embarrassing.

The Jetgate demons from nearly 20 years ago weren’t that bad. Stop.

How about the ridiculous Gus extension? How about us getting turned down for the HC position multiple times? How about the entire way this debacle has been handled? All that Harsin's fault?

Also, just the fact that when you say Jetgate, everyone still knows what you're talking about 20 years later says you're wrong.

Maybe you're right though: maybe we'll suddenly and miraculously get a competently run football program when Harsin leaves. We'll find out soon enough.

Sure, older SEC fans do. Auburn fans also remember our arse handed to us by Reggie Ball and Leinart after being predicted to be number one, and that led to the PTB getting caught with their hands in the Cooke jar.
