AD Greene bears a lot of heat for the hire. He knew all this when he offered the job. Was Greene limited on how much he could offer a new coach, or did he really think Harsin was the best for the job?

You mean to tell me Harsin had zero booster support after he was hired?
I don’t buy into that.

This is some stupid arse ignorant crap to spew right here.

You know who else isn’t southern? Nick fricking Saban. He seems to do ok.

Who else? Lane Kiffin, you idiot. He does ok also.

I would hardly call Steve Spurrier and Florida ‘Southern’ outside of being in the SEC. Gainesville sure as hell isn’t ‘Deep South’ in culture and history.

Should we go on? Not southern is a stupid arse reason not to hire someone.

Everyone wanted a coach to come in and change it up, to not be a yes man. We literally get that, and as soon as we run into the slightest bit of drama he’s thrown under the bus.

I’m not 100% Harsin, but a healthy Bo Nix and we likely beat Bama and win the bowl and Harsin goes 8-5 or better.

Nick Saban? Pretty sure he’s a total douche from West Virginia.

You sure are upset about this yet our own former players are saying this shite.

Thank you. Saying he can’t succeed because he’s not from here is like the LSU fans convinced O was a great hire “because he talks like us.”

Anybody with half a brain assumes the issue is not where one is from, but how the outsider relates to a new group.

Apparently Harsin isn’t doing great with that and the differences are becoming magnified.

Nick fricking Saban


From rural poor West Virginia, has coached in the south for a long time now, previously coached in Ohio and Michigan which are not cosmopolitan places. Zero reason to compare any Coach to Saban, he’s the GOAT, plays by different rules, etc.

Lane Kiffin


Not similar to Harsin at all in personality or approach. Don’t think this is relevant. Also, recruiting at Ole Miss was not too hot this year (though they’ve done well in the portal)

quote:

Steve Spurrier


From Johnson City Tennessee, and plenty of southern influence in Gainesville, even more so 30 years ago when CSS was there.

If Harsin gets fired, coupled with a new President, ADAG's days are numbered

It just depends on if you think it's best to let him go down with the ship next season and hire someone new to wipe the slate clean and hype up the 2023 season. Or hire whoever now and let them suffer with this roster and look bad and not add much hype to the 2023 season.

The only way I could see you crowdsourcing the football program is via NILs potentially.

Harsin from Idaho. He can probably skin a buck and run a trotline. If not, then I bet for sure he can plow a field of potatoes all day long.

As much as it sucks that this is where we are, it's probably correct. I was hyped up for Harsin and have been surprised by what happened after the season.

I just don't know how he will be able to recruit at a high enough level to turn things around in the next year or two, even if he stays. I hope I'm wrong but I just don't know why you'd come here with the uncertainty in the program right now if you're a recruit.

Are you a booster or something, maybe a booster's relative, booster's friend. Gotta be, you're pushing this narrative as hard as PM
