You are right. Harsin and Freeze are both inferior to Barfield.




Think about that.

1978 6-4-1
1979: 8-3

For whatever reason, I think we turned down Birmingham Bowl in 1978.

I’m not sure how we did not go to a bowl in 1979 unless there was some nonsense probation.

We got folks on here carrying water for sorry arse Hugh Freeze but they want to disrespect the greatest basketball coach in the history of our program.

It’s insanity.

We can respect Bruce and worry about the future of the program under Steven's leadership at the same time. The two things are not mutually exclusive.

And I agree with that. But I’m going to choose to go with what Bruce thinks is best because he’s been very right in his tenure at Auburn. Right to 2 Final Fours.

Fine. At least somebody is going to sleep peacefully tonight. I will be lying awake worrying about a mass exodus of our best players through the transfer portal.

The timing is terrible for they because they’re all enrolled. They’d have to wait until spring to play.

Plus Steven provides some valuable continuity here.

Pearl is gone. Not even a fair comparison and not every view is accurately represented as insanity. What you want is just as insane as a reasonable search for the best successor. I care more about Auburn than Pearl's pride.

Chad Baker Mazara made a cryptic post "so now yall understand" or something to that nature.

I am guessing the players knew and CBM is the only defection.

Think about this. Do you really care more about Auburn or wanna act like you know more than the greatest basketball coach in Auburn history?

If that is what it is, we can bookmark it and discuss in a couple years,

Oh shite Malt, should we not panic losing the best coach ever? Sometimes there is a time for panic. Ask Widespead. Those dope smoking play a song for 20 minutes hippies believe in panic.
