The crazy thing is to look in that context at the only two who brought us national championships

I said the same thing in another thread. Harsin has the best resume since Dye.

Harsin has the same # of years as a college head coach as our previous 3 hires combined.

Shug was an Assistant at Auburn before the outbreak of WW2.
He had more experience than just that of a Georgia Assistant Coach. He actually ran the Freshman program at Auburn.

People say everything is a cycle.
Dye got here to successfully fight back against Bama - shot us up as a program. Bryant's career ended shortly after.
Harsin going to successfully fight back against Bama? Just years before Saban retires?
In all seriousness, this was a good hire. People talking otherwise just don't know or are trolling.
