Derek Mason pay cut

Yes it was.


We had no intention of firing him and he got out as fast as he could.

Why would he want to be here? Look at what Harsin is having to deal with.

Yeah, Harsin lost a lot of games in his first year, but the character attacks on him have been sickening.

Atleast the board could man up and say we made a mistake by hiring Leath, who hired Greene, who hired Harsin. It’s like the power people stay asleep at the wheel until things go south. They have no issues slandering harsin, but don’t have the balls to go out and hire the best football mind available which is Freeze.

Harsin literally has zero responsibility in all of this to some people. It’s really weird.

Sounds like Mason and Harsin didn’t get along. You remember. Mason…. The failed Vandy HC and the defensive coordinator we all hated year long until the Bama game?

There’s no one here that knows what’s going on behind the scenes. As much as Jang and the rest of these internet drama clowns claim, insinuate, or accuse, the reality is that they don’t know anything more than my dog does. We made a very large investment in Harsin. Whether you like him or not, that commitment deserves three years worth of effort. So, unless there’s some tape of him banging the assistant, then he deserves another two years to build his program.

Which power people have slandered him and what untruth did they tell?

Except most of us didn’t. We hated his scheme, we didn’t hate his 2nd half adiustments. We didn’t hate the results. We didn’t hate how we got better from last year.

If anybody didn’t deserve so be fired it was Mason so bringing up that idiots like yourself didn’t like Mason from the beginning only hurts your argument.

Anybody that has paid any attention knows that Mason seriously disliked Harsin from a personal and professional standpoint. You don’t have to keep your head buried in the sand now.

I won't lie. During the Miss State game I hated his guts.


But to be fair, I think I hated everyone as that game went on...

I would like to know as well. All other coaches that left seemed to be routine (fired or had better opportunities). Mason, though, took a pay-cut and didn't seem to gel with Harsin. I would be interested in knowing what went down.

The man deserves three years to do his thing

Nah I’m over that. I’m already over the “deserved” language as well. Get him some money and get him the frick out. “His thing” sucks.

It appears that the Mason and Bobo hires were to placate the same good-old-boy boosters

Sure it is. Every single time.

Spend 10 minutes and go read a Boise State forum. It's the exact same story. Toxic coaching environment, he can only work with a select handful of people, coaching turnover is his thing. That is absolutely horrible from a long-term perspective...you would understand that if you actually thought logically. "His guys" are fish out of water recruiting down here, so what is your actual answer here? Load up more of them and "let's ride" LOL? Then what, they have to stay here forever, and if/when someone leaves, you're playing this same game where you're praying and hoping he finds a replacement that not only has the skillset to succeed in the SEC, but who also doesn't end up "not meshing" with his abusive personality?
