At least there was hope
How much hope did you have under Harsin/Freeze? I had zero hope for Harsin. I knew that was going to end badly before his plane landed in Auburn. I wanted to have hope during Freeze but what little I could muster was dwindling rapidly.

It’s a good thought and would possibly mean something to players and endearing to the fans but th old saying still applies…

That's 3. You need at least 41 more. Danby was highly recruited, and at 6 ft 6, with athleticism, has measurables to drool over.

I really do like your sentiment, but I don't see that producing any success on the field. I'm getting sick of watching entitled 20 year old millionaires running up and down the field, especially when they're not even winning.
I'm also a huge believer in "Hard Work beats Talent when Talent does not work hard." However, when Talent does work hard (and sometimes when it doesn't), Hard Work alone is going to get embarrassed.
Plus, all of the less-talented kids you want to recruit who are not "all that" still think they're "all that."
I fear intercollegiate athletics is broken beyond repair.

Are you really advocating that we should hit the recruiting trail with a sales pitch of "Come to Auburn. You don't have a shot in hell of making the NFL, but you can have a decent college career"?

We are either capable of being a top team in this new college football reality or not. If not, then at least in a decade or so, a game ticket should be pretty affordable again.
Freeze had a top ten roster. They had no heart. No pride. No motivation to perform. No discipline. No accountability.
All those stars. All that potential. You get 5-7 seasons.
Whether it was coaching, the players not living up to their rating, or no one in the building caring about the school or the product on the field, I’m glad that this era is coming to a close.
I can’t wait until Friday when we start hearing about who wants to come to campus.

For some reason I thought dansby was not as heralded as a Takeo Spikes, but I guess he was an elite athlete.
At the end of the day, I don’t get any input into the selection/recruitment/contracting of players.
Golesh will either succeed or fail.
I hope he is successful.
I’m tired of losing.
