None of that makes sense. Only the 2003 has any validity. You saying it was the PTB fault in all those other cases?

I graduated from Auburn and so did my father. What is happening right now does nobody any good. I do not know if any of the accusations against Harsin are true but I do believe that if any of the following were true we would not be having this conversation.
1. Auburn had won 8 games in the regular season.
2. Auburn had won the Iron Bowl.
3. Auburn had a top 10 recruiting class.

I think 1 and 3 are definitely true. Probably 2 as well.

Swing and a miss!

Which players, the ones whom he personally recruited and have a vesting interest in defending him?

We have more players currently on the roster who were seriously considering leaving, that haven't come to that decision yet. They are obviously not in favor of Harsin, but they're not stupid enough to voice their concerns while he's still technically the HC. They are remaining quiet for good reason. Some of you can't even think rationally.

The only guys who have the freedom to speak out are guys that already left. That doesn't mean that everyone left on the team is in support of Harsin.

Alan Greene interviewed players, and as per Hokanson: supposedly there are more bad reviews than good reviews. Not good for Bryan.

I think it's safe to say there were involved in all of those. When aren't they involved?

You mean the players that are left, right? Generally players support their coaches when family and “us against the world” is engrained into their minds at an early age.

What departing coach has never received support from its players?

Yeah, that's what it is. Shaun Shivers was a known pussy and lazy guy.

Funny, Bryan Harsin doesn't seem to want to do any work himself that would be befitting of the HC on an SEC team.

Not a matter of winning or losing, it’s about exposing the bullshite that goes on at Auburn. Lawsuit is the only way to do it.


I don't see this happening... neither side would want to go to trial... if Auburn has reason to fire him for cause both sides will likely come to agreement behind closed doors and settle.

Ok. Was the demise of the coach their fault in each situation? You know the coaches will tell you that because they can’t accept their failure.

This is another reason why players may not tell the truth. These kids have seen how Auburn fambly can turn against them.

You think a player still under him is going to come out against him if what the ones free of him are claiming are true? They would be on the road too.

Here's the most appalling thing about all that.

The guys that DID speak out (Smoke Monday, Kobe, etc) were extremely fair and rational in their comments. Not one of them said ANYTHING about it being "too hard" or "too much work", nor did their complaints revolve around the work culture under Harsin. They even complemented his ability as a coach. To call someone a pussy or soft because they voiced something that has been repeated up and down by everyone, even while he was at Boise State (that he doesn't know how to build relationships and doesn't come off like he cares about the well-being of others) is pathetic.

You have "fans" blasting former players who did nothing but voice honest critique. And their critiques were actually very mild (apart from Lee Hunter).

I literally saw someone on here make fun of Smoke Monday because he said that Harsin never even met or talked to his parents. As if Harsin is CORRECT about that situation. Here's the reality to that: they have a Zoom call set-up with players' parents. Harsin does NOT attend these meetings. Instead, Brad Larrondo (his assistant AD) comes on and speaks on his behalf. Why the frick would their parents want to speak to Brad Larrondo? Recruiting is literally getting into households and convincing the parents of ~18 year old kids that you'll care for and develop their children, and yet some on here want to support a guy who's personality immediately concludes that he'll never succeed in recruiting.

By the way; Shaun Shivers is neither a bad kid, nor is he a lazy "pussy". The guy is the definition of a ball of hardened steel. He's out there on Twitter making innuendo about Harsin. These are NOT all lazy snowflakes.

Totally agree. And I hated the Vanderbilt FG kicker stunt but Mason is generally well respected throughout football and our fans turned against him like he was some soft pussy even though his unit performed the best and recruited the best. I am hopeful ADAG will go to him to figure out why he didn’t agree with Harsin from a personal and professional level.




BTW) that Brad Larrondo dude checked into the Rivals Twitter space couple nights ago.

shite on the PTB


PTB has a much longer history of making Auburn look bad.

Don’t know why you “Auburn” people think just because someone pours money into a school, can’t also be a source of negative impact.

Mason didn't like how the Kobe situation unfolded. He literally left for a downgrade because he was at odds with Harsin's personality. I don't know what else to say about that. The Kobe Hudson thing never made sense from day one, because if he was causing problems, how and why was he allowed to play? He was their #1 WR LMAO. So what's the discipline angle here? He wasn't working hard or meeting expectations, and yet he continued to play and have most of the targets? But then at the same time he needed to be removed from the team? What?

There are more stories like that. Do you guys remember Tyrone Truesdell? Apparently it was a well known fact that he had and has been having off-field family issues. The guy is a well behaved kid and never did anything wrong during his time at Auburn. He asked Harsin if he could have some time off, and Harsin kicked him off the team. Stuff like that is just mind-blowing.

I look at this like a house fire.


The damage is done, but there need to be repercussions for the ones who started it.

I don't see how Harsin continues at Auburn, but that damn well should not be the end of this.
