Im it total agreement with you on the fact that Harsin is and was a complete inept idiot. You're preaching to the choir dude Lol You're also correct about not NEEDING a coach with southern ties, BUT it would be optimal. This guy is from North Dakota and has little clue how utterly insane EVERY SEC fanbase is. If you are going to replace the Legend of all legends in a state with the MOST intensely obsessed group of fans, you don't need a guy who is unfamiliar with the landscape. You keep trying to argue with Auburn fans about us being dumb enough to hire Harsin, but our point is that YOU were dumb enough to hire a guy with several of his weaknesses. What part of that isn't getting through. Harsin sucks and we know dudelololol


Harsin was a shitty coach before he was hired, and he remained a shitty coach at Auburn. DeBoer is a great coach, and he will remain a great coach at Alabama.

As for SEC ties, that's about recruiting. We will see. Who was the last guy who didn't recruit well at Alabama?

i argued with you about Harsin quite a lot in the early going, and i’m not ashamed to admit you were 100% correct about him and i was 100% wrong, so you will always have the benefit of the doubt from me.

however, saying something totally unproven like this

DeBoer is a great coach, and he will remain a great coach at Alabama.
causes me to reconsider.

DeBoer may be a great coach, but all we know for sure at this point is he’s a good coach who caught lightning in a bottle with a Heisman candidate at QB playing in a conference that was in the process of self-destructing.

and to emphatically state that he will “continue to be great” at Bama is wishcasting.

i feel like he’s a very good HC who came into a situation unlike any he’s ever imagined, without any clear plan for taking on the job, without the complete confidence of the people who hired him, and with the GOAT ex-HC keeping an eye on him from his “office in the stadium”.

no matter how lofty your expectations, that is in no way a recipe for success.

i guess time will tell.

He's getting off to a bad start when it comes to retaining his roster, which I know isn't all his fault. Again, WE KNOW HARSIN SUCKS. personally my pick was for hugh Freeze 4 years ago, but nobody wanted to touch him because of the bullshite morality police back in 2020. I don't know if anyone has been
(terrible) at recruiting at Bama, but Mike shula sure was average. Lol That will not cut it now. Even after the NCAA sanctions were lifted, he didn't exactly kill it on the trail. I thought you had to win a championship before someone called you a GREAT coach? He's following Saban man, if you can't understand how daunting a task that is I can't help you.
