I said this when we fired gus, if we're not swinging for the fences, why are we in the batter's box?
Great analogy.
So, tier 2 or bust.
If Harsin has been actively tanking he better put it in reverse because we can make him live in his shite unless he wants to leave on his own :)
Disclaimer: I don’t think he is actively tanking

Anyone that still supports Harsin either suffered a brain injury or swings with him and his wife

I don’t think he has that many supporters anymore. In real life most people think he sucks but our PTB sucks worst than him. He has alpine, our part time gig Auburn fan, at least.

What ties to the southeast does he have?
But is that really mandatory? Sure, it may make recruiting easier, but so would showing up in Alabama high schools and saying, "Hi, my name is Bryan Harsin."

We should hire Bo Nix as our HC

Pat Nix HC?

I need to be SID as well. Straight facts and straight fire is what you can depend on.

Personally, I would LOVE this. Not because of his coaching ability or recruiting, but because he looks EXACTLY like one of my best friends who is a huge Bama fan. It would dramatically improve my shite talking if this happened.

quote:Totally agree it is not mandatory, but there are other head coaches at Gundy's level that DO have southeastern ties and relationships. So, in my humble opinion, there is no need to take a risk on a coach who would need to build relationships quickly once he got here if we can get a comparable coach who already has some proven relationships built in.

ETA: My point here is that recruiting with Harsin was a big question mark because he had no proven ability to recruit this region. He has failed miserably. I feel like we'd be taking that same risk with Gundy (albeit Gundy has a more robust coaching resume).

That would be a more well thought out reason than any of the reasons for hiring Harsin!

It’s subjective of course.
For mine with a later addition of Lebby to tier 2
Tier 1 Aranda, Kiffin, Matt Rhule
Tier 2 Deion, Lebby, Dan Quinn,
Tier 3: Freeze, Urban Meyer, Jason Garrett
BELOW HERE IS A FLOP
Tier 4: BOB, Muschamp, Steele, Rhett Lashlee
Tier 5: Bill fricking Clark
Don't necessarily agree on all of the upper tier rankings but there's your general cutoff for the "Tier 2" where I'll be annoyed and I'm guessing many others would be highly disappointed.

Down to two, negotiations still being worked out, waiting on all at Auburn to sign off. Both stout offensively and can recruit. Also talking with potential DC candidates and his support staff to make sure all are on the same page with HC. Defense will be primarily Auburn men. Outstanding new AD as well.
Next two weeks will be Harsins death March.
That's what I dreamed last night.

Negative Neds.....
Like Sgt. Oddball said... " why don't you knock it off with all those negative waves. Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?"
Auburn bout ready to knock this out of the park and tell everyone to kiss his arse while doing so!
Have a great day guys.

He’s a man? He’s 40? Well, I guess he’s about 50 now.

ALHunter, if we hire either of Urban or Freeze we would deserve all the shite that can throwed at us.

At what point should we have kept Gus, saved $40 million, pumped $38.5 million into NIL, and spent $1.5 million on the best OL coach/recruiter money can buy?
Ouch. This is a thought experiment I didn’t want to consider.
I assume we didn’t even know much about NIL by the time we fired Gus.

That says more about you than it does him tbh
Because I didn't know the name of a coach at a mediocre Mountain West Conference school?
So off the top of your head can you name the coach of the Wyoming football team? My guess is you probably can't

*Still young enough (he’s a man! He’s 55) - Age doesnt matter imo
*Great recruiter, all things considered - Cant name a single player from any of his football teams ever
*Has successfully run a P5 program who is on the outs because of SEC expansion - leftover coach
*innovative and different offense perhaps we can recruit to our advantage - How so?
*Red state guy in a Red state - Politics shouldnt matter. Just win
