re: Napier and Clark fans - your thoughts now

Indifferent on Napier. Clark pissed me off if he actually did what is being reported.

Everything aside, I'm content with our new HC. It's different and a breath of fresh air.

Harsin was a blindside. I’d heard of him , but knew very little else about him. That alone is remarkable, in that I was very familiar with every realistic candidate for AU’s HC position since Dye.

I was favoring Cristobal early on, and was disappointed when he re-upped with UO. Then I wanted Napier, because he sounded like the real deal (and I still think he will be a force whenever he steps up to a P5 job). As for Clark, I’ll defer to my uncle’s description, having been a lifelong Prattville resident and PHS supporter: he called him “an a-hole with ears”.

Harsin has impressed me, based on what I’ve seen and heard these past couple of days. Still not sure how it all went down, and am cautious about the staff choices (as well as how much autonomy he will have in mak8ng them).

But as for now, I’m happy with the end result.

It ruined the day for some of the reactionary turds on here, but we went to sleep and had our coach.

@The_SwAUggford I spent too much time buying into the fact Clark was interviewing. frick that bammer a-hole. I still don’t think he’s as bad of a coach as people were saying but the man has character issues no doubt.

Exactly my feelings. The thought of Clark getting the offer is just laughable imo. He’s done nothing anywhere that counts and would possibly be worse than chizik 2012 against the likes of real SEC talent.

Sooner rather than later I hope.

I am happy for who we got. However, don't like the whole stuff that went on by the click bait sites stirring up controversy. It seems to happen that way with us for some reason on many things. I never wanted Clark and dislike how he said he turned us down. Don't have a problem with Napier and how he handled it. To his fans it looks like he turned down a couple of SEC schools to remain with them. Not an issue for me as that is a tactic that doesn't hurt either party.

I have a real issue with "insiders" who were reporting crap trying to get the fan base riled up. I also have problems with people going overboard on #StoptheSteele stuff. I totally get what was being fed but turns out it wasn't true. So the real issue is the folks who started that going and helped get it to national news. That hurts Auburn. That is the issue that I have with the whole thing.
