It’s easy to stand on your high platform to tell 18 year old kids with no NIL money how to live their life. Meanwhile millionaire mercenary Harsin has not held up his end of the deal. When are you going after him? I’ll be waiting.

However volunteering to redshirt is quitting on the team.


Harsin is the coach. Roster is skeleton units and players continue to leave him. When are y’all going to stop defending that a-hole.

If your company was losing money and customers faster than you could find them, your boss was a prick without a clue, and had no support while being allowed to bleed out, would you go give 100% or just get through the day so you can go home and search on indeed.com?

So what about all the underprivileged African American kids that couldn’t catch a football like Landon King? They did not get to go to college for free, have meals, housing, clothing and tutors provided.

With the portal being wide open, players getting NIL money, college sports are no longer amateur sports. Players wanted a piece of the pie, now they have it, but with that comes situations like this. Players want to be treated like professionals, this is what happens in a profession. Back to the analogy of quitting on your job. Harsin has done a poor job coaching, but I give him credit as a man, He and his family were put through some ridiculous BS last year. He could have quit, settled for millions, brought a suit against the University? He didn’t do that, he came back to a job knowing he was a dead man walking but was going to see it through. If he was a sorry SOB he would have taken the other roads available and at least preserved his coaching reputation.

Wow. Just wow. Keep believing and supporting Harsin. Just do it somewhere else, maybe his next job? If everything that came up were completely unfounded, he would have gone to his team of lawyers, and quit. He then would have sued, nobody would have blamed him, and his complete lack of coaching ability wouldn't have been exposed

If I’m an 18 year old seldom used athlete I’d be doing whatever suited my career first. Harsin has his plan, the PTB has their plan, and neither truly cares about mine.

People can debate the issue of redshirting for free, but optics on Harsin
look desperate, and like I said low-down.

I'd like to thank King for not thanking Harsin. If that message is lost on our PTBs then Auburn is fricked. Can anyone think of a single thing, real or imagined, being gained by keeping this fricktard on the payroll?



Based on what he said, it seems that he meant for us to read between the lines that Harsin is the reason he is leaving.
Added to the reports of Harsin's "my way or the highway" that came out, it is hard to see it any other way.

Agreed. He should be gone yesterday.

Landon, played just as well as a receiver as Harsin called games.

He could’ve quit and he should’ve. He’s in over his head and it only gets worse for him each day he is here. And what could he possibly sue Auburn over? Mean Reddit? Give me break.

I believe you mean if he was smart….The numbers that continue to leave him show he is indeed a sorry sonuvabitch

I'd love to hear from 1 player, 1, who would say Harsin has put them in a position to be successful

Harsin is a sheep in wolves clothing. He’s burning down the house, refusing to call the fire department and telling everyone with a bucket of water to GTFO

Can't believe there's anyone who thinks, much less willing to admit
they think, that Harsin has done a noble job. And in the middle of all of this, post the Auburn Creed to insinuate Harsin is the one living by it. Mind. Blown.

Someone made the comment today that the most telling thing about Hars coming to Auburn was that no Boise players followed him. He's trash... period.

You are the one implying shite. I posted the creed because a kid wanting to quit is antithetical to the creed. That is what King is doing he is a quitter. Taking a redshirt for no,other reason than you are not happy is quitting.

I almost gave into your view but I’m fully against it now.

Redshirting isn’t quitting. It’s not a scholarship for free. Redshirting is continuing to work out with the team getting bigger faster stronger for next year. Ladtly, doing practice work too. Now that we have the 4 game redshirt rule you can expect players to want redshirts when appropriate. Again we had a RB that wanted to redshirt to get better.

Just because players here are quitting to get away from your previous coach doesn’t make your DyeHard bitching more valid.

I'm in no way defending Harsin. I want him gone immediately and the sooner the better.

But from a personal philosophy coaches coach and make decisions for the team regardless. (Also a major reason why I want him gone). But I can't side with a player deciding to "redshirt" himself if he's a scholarship player.

I'm sure King won't be the last either. It started with Calzada, this week we've had Walker and King.

Anyway fire his arse tonight. Lets get the show on the road and declare we are looking for a leader of young men, a winner, and someone that wants to be a part of the great Auburn experience.
