re: the OFFICIAL HarsinGate thread (Harsin Refusing reduced buyout)

People just think the ‘takeover’ or whatever you wanna call it came from no where… this all came about bc harsin is a stubborn clueless jackass… of course a guy like that’s not gonna negotiate his buyout down. He’s dug in and will be the coach next year… the sooner he’s gone the better.

Right.

I don’t think the PTB was picking a fight just to be picking one.

Unofficial Press Release (No Press Conference).

As required by Auburn Policy, Auburn received information and conducted a thorough investigation and the result indicate no changes will occur as a result of this investigation.

Not sure they even mention Harsin by name.

Wouldn’t surprise me in the least if this is the approach

He has zero support from boosters, right or wrong. He has a new president that didn't hire him. The AD that hired him is on the way out. Half the fans want him gone. The other half seem to have somewhat unrealistic expectations for next year (based on hearing 2004 wouldn't have happened without 2003 many times). His recruiting coordinator might leave, and he has no OC in mid February. This all sounds like the perfect storm for a January 2023 coaching search.

I feel like some recruiting he did put a ton of effort and visited and was heavily involved with (M'ba--Thanos), some he wasn't though or set as a low/no priority to visit like the Georgia High school thing. I think the generalized statement that he did no recruiting is a bit false. It was evident on at least Darren Uscher twitter that he was doing something. Just maybe not where/who we as a fan base necesarrily wanted. We gotta stress that recruiting agaist UGA/UA is an uphill battle.

I want to say some of the west coast guys he got won't get as high a star rating due to not going to as many camps as those near the SEC too.

Would be even better my friend.

Serious question about NIL, because this is actually going to be a problem if he outright rejects cooperating - -

What actual evidence do we have that Harsin is opposed to NIL or not cooperating with NIL?

As far as I have seen, we have developed an opinion that "HARSIN HATES NIL AND IS NOT OPEN TO IT AND HE SUCKS"

Why is that? I'm open to changing my opinion on the dude, but not based on us or pay sites blowing stuff out of proportion or taking a quote out of context.

I don’t know how much you followed recruiting around E’s and Jones’ recruiting threads over the years but in general most people that have been paying attention in those years have developed a baseline for where recruiting should be. Darren Uscher sending out offers doesn’t mean recruiting. Auburn will probably offer 150 recruits this class.
