Auburn Undercover with Nathan King and Christian Clemente
I've heard some of these stories over the past few years but I didn't want to believe them because they sounded ridiculous.
If you've got 34 minutes it's pretty enlightening.

I told you this shite during the "coup" and even before that.

His tenure was a nightmare of ineptitude.

The cool thing about that was the recruits that they contacted who were committed elsewhere said they would flip to AU if Prime was the coach. That right there is interesting.

They didn’t want to listen.

Half of these dipshit “Auburn” fans wanted Harsin to win 10 and then give us the middle finger.

He would no show recruits and meetings.

Seemed lost on who they were targeting. Want to do one thing one day and change his mind the next.

Basically, lazy and dumb.

There's a VIP story on 247 that has a headline (that's all I know, I don't pay for VIP) of:

Recruits: 'If Auburn got Deion, I'd flip.'

Edit: Same think 88Tiger mentions above.

There are a ton of studs from Alabama in this recruiting cycle. Any decent coach should have Auburn well into the top 10 right now.

-Bobo had to drag Harsin into recruiting meetings
-Missed out on T Parker becuase the coaches said the would visit in spring and never showed up
-Recruit and family had to wait at ATL airport for 2 hours because they didnt know where it was at
-Harsin was a no show on a Sunday when a top recruit/family was to meet with him
-Showed up very late to national TV game with Phenix City because they didnt know the time was changed.

Exchange between Mason and Harsin from an article I just read:

“I’ve been head coach in this league longer than you” - Mason
“What? At Vandy? - Harsin



Apparently they disagreed how the Dline coach hire should go.

Good listen. Absolutely infuriating both Gus and Harsin refused to physically visit recruits.

Instead of recruiting he was attending his kids football games. Clemente said that’s nice but not every single Friday night

The positive is it sounds like recruits want to come here and are actually interested depending how the HC hire goes.

A lot of that sounds like cause to fire.....we need to work on our contracts so we are not on the hook for all that $$.

I know current "numbers" on the team and recruiting are bad. Even bad-bad.

But watching this video, I can only now assume that its even waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more worse-bad than even I could have imagined.

This program needs Prime or the Lane Train. Those are the only two solutions that have a chance of making an IMMEDIATE impact. Other than those two guys, its gonna be a loooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnng hard slog to rebuild.

Some of the recruits didn't even know Harsin's name. Haskin? Harrison?
