Auburn, considering we’re in the Saban era, do you ever wish ya’ll would have kept Gus?

Harsin was a bad hire. He’ll be fired. It’s only a matter of time. Some of your years with Gus were pretty bad but had y’all taken half of this money you spent on transitioning from Gus to Harsin and went and gotten the best defensive coordinator money could buy y’all would be in a much better position in my honest opinion. And considering what factors a prospective head coach has to consider when taking a job in the same state as Saban, a Gus team with a great defensive coordinator isn’t all that bad at least until Saban retires. I honestly don’t think y’all are going to be able to find better until that time.

Nope

Excited to see what Harsin will bring still.

Gus needed to go.

I’m not sure why Auburn cut Gus loose. They were winning their usual 6 games per season weren’t they?

Nope.

Harsin can’t recruit

He finished 19th with less than 2 months on the job last year. Currently 13th with a shot to be top-10. That’s where Auburnhas recruited historically

Crazy that people think we wanted Gus to stay. Most everyone wanted him fired since the 2017 season. The only reason he hung around was because of that idiotic contract.

Harsin is going to be a good coach for Auburn. We’ve already had several players announce they’re returning for their senior seasons. The team is going to be better in year 2. He closed extremely well in recruiting too.

Glad Gus is gone. Auburn is an injury to their QB from going 10-3. Harsin is instilling much needed discipline. It’s going to take a few years to rebuild.

Since this is Saban's last year, isn't it a moot point?

It took 4 overtimes for the greatest coach ever to beat this bad hire.

Uat and other rival SEC posters wishing Gus was still at Auburn confirms his mediocre arse needed to be fired. You’re talking about Harsin because of his first season? I guess uat should’ve fired Saban his first year after going 6-6 and losing to ULM?

I’m pretty sure Auburn won’t be consulting with Bama fans about coaching decisions.

Do you wish Coleman Coliseum was more modern?

Only two types of people wanted Gus to remain at Auburn:

1. Fans of other SEC schools
2. Auburn fans without any football knowledge

BTW, of all the the fans to be arguing Auburn should have kept Gus, I find it odd an Alabama fan would be doing so. I say that because Gus Malzhan is, or was, the only SEC coach who came close to beating Nick Saban on anything resembling a regular basis.
