It's just a good feeling...

Just call me Missouri, because I’m at the show me state. I was so happy to get rid of mediocre Gus that I was blind to the train wreck of Mr. Potato Head coming. I like how hard Freeze recruits. Now let’s see some results.

I remember the night a friend texted me with the news that Auburn hired Bryan Harsin. I immediately got a bad case of the dry heaves. I spent much of the next two years hearing that he was a good coach and just needed more time. When he was fired, it was like someone turned the lights on. I have felt more optimistic ever since.

That is never a good sign when an SEC football coach is hired.

No shite! We just had fired a guy with a massive contract, and his replacement was a dude most had never heard of.

I'm confident Freeze is a homerun hire. Just have to give him a little time to get his parts in place. The best part is, after the last two seasons, as fans even a modest improvement will seem like a major move forward.

If you had to google Bryan Harsin you really didn’t follow football that closely.

If you were familiar with Harsin BEFORE he became the HC at Auburn, you follow college football more closely than 90& of the population. Petersen made people look at Boise. I doubt 1% of college football fans could tell you who is the current Boise coach. You are in a very small minority if you knew much about Harsin before his hire at Auburn.

Hindsight being 20/20 and all, but you have to admit firing one of the highest paid coaches in the country and then hiring an obscure coach to replace him, has to be up there as one of the biggest self inflicted wounds an athletic department has ever done to itself. I'm glad the smart people are back in charge and didn't cave to the idiots who were screaming for a ego-maniac with almost zero experience.
