Best guess is never, except to maybe clean out his office. Terrible look for us.

Given the situation he might want to stay.

Most coaches take 7-10 days right after NSD. It’s really the best time on the calendar while we’re in a dead period and players are going through winter workouts that the staff can’t be involved in. Guessing the end of next week

Does he strike you as the kind of guy that could have too many margaritas and leave a horrible, angry, drunk voicemail for one of the boosters? At this point who'd blame him?

I don’t know the Boise program well but I’d guess their booster involvement is low. And I bet that was a selling point for Greene if he was targeting a guy without Booster support.

I’d assume Harsin is operating on a plan that excludes the boosters for now and I’m betting he thinks his eventual success will bring them in.

All of that is TBD

Which in theory should work and how it should be. But the boosters should help him be successful too. Chicken or the egg thing here I guess?

I’m just spitballing. Harsin knows if he’s successful they’ll come running. TBD if he’ll be successful.

Players that left think he’s a brilliant football guy but sucks at everything else. Which corroborates a lot of stories we’ve heard.

If he wants to keep up what he’s doing he’s gotta win eventually

I have no idea how he’ll do. He’s in a tough spot to setup a program. I’m slightly encouraged that there’s a lot of players saying he’s a hardass football focused coach. That’s explains a lot of what’s going on.

He’s gotta learn not to be a robot, though. He’s toast if he can’t relate to southern black kids that come from nothing. No clue if that’s true but that’s what Smoke said. Smoke is also famously a very emotional kid. Truth is somewhere in the middle.

Harsin undoubtedly understands that this job isn’t what he had before. He’s got a lot of work to do. There’s no telling if he can right this ship but I hate to admit I like a lot of what I’ve heard the last couple of days.

Dont feel guilty Jonesy, these kids are getting paid, its a job, if the worst that can be said is |Harsin is a hardarse, then good for him.

Andy Russell, the HOF with the Steelers said, right after Chuck \Noll was hired he held a team meeting. He said, the problem is not effort or understanding, you guys just arent that good and unfortunately Im going to have to let a lot of you go. Four years later they were in the Superbowl.....and five players remained from that original meeting.

I say again, they are getting paid, Saban just kicked two 5 stars to the curb this off season. You want sympathy, give me back my friggin check, ya cant have it both ways.

This bullshite about a tough life for a black person (they must have moved out all the poor whites), how about they bring in all the folks from their neighborhood, or better yet regular Auburn students, and let them tour the facilities. Let them see them eating catered meals ANY time of day, their closest full of 30 pairs of 300 dollar sneakers and more apparel than they can wear in a lifetime. Tutors for every class, as well as "life" coaches. Every physical therapy known to man. Living quarters the actual student couldnt even dream of. AND GETTING PAID. Real tough life.

And Monday should STFU, man never bent his knees to make an actual tackle his entire life, and his definition of covering is letting a man catch a ball 20 yards downfield and then giving a cheap hit for another 15 yard penalty.

Me thinks there is a booster / board member that actively tries to destroy AU. A wolf in sheeps clothing. A turn coat. A traitor. That is the Only justification for this kind of breaking news bullshite.

Auburn may need to hire an outside council to investigate this past week’s dumpster fire. I get boosters being upset and firing a coach after 3+ seasons.

Whoever orchestrated this hit job has caused a huge amount of damage to the football program, likely more than any financial contribution they’ve provided.
