Firing him after 1 season will far more likely send us to UT depths than giving him another season. I'm convinced we're going to regret this.

You’re sure that you’re right. Startling development.

Give me one actual logical reason. And not "oh we won't be able to hire anyone", or "oh they'll somehow screw this up".

If you actually understood the situation, I don't see how you would come to that conclusion.

Harsin's "plan" is like oil to water. For it work out, you are asking for everything else to bend and submit to his will. Off of what basis is this likely, or realistic?

He had the 3rd highest winning % in the country. So, it seems like he's pretty good at winning. He certainly deserves more than 1 season.

I feel the argument can be made that when it comes to Xs & Os he is a very good coach. He was the play caller for Boise during that memorable Fiesta Bowl against Oklahoma. And he has some great fits and formations, as evidenced by the teams offensive production. That stretch zone run he loved at Boise really is a work of art when it's run correctly.



But at the end of the day, it doesn't really mean shite when you're the HC. It's more of a CEO type job than a football genius job. It's why Beamer seemingly is doing so well at USCe, because he gets that.

Even the players that left and are speaking against him have said this. But you're on a message board: you probably know better than the actual players.

Well if we carry on as is we won't have to more about any players saying good or bad things about him, we won't have any players. None that are worth a squirt of piss anyway.

Think about what you've said. Players that left said he's a good coach. So he's a good coach, but not good enough to stay and play for. We have serious needs and several of those players, with good coaching, could have seen playing time at an SEC school. Could have developed into better players and played more if coached well. The question that begs to be asked is, if Harsin is a good coach, why did they leave?

No offense but I give not a single frick about what a player who left has to say about anything related to our program. You really should consider doing the same

So Harsin decided not to receuit because no good players can handle a coach being a meanie pants?

He had the #18 ranked class after his first season. Considering it takes years to build relationships with these coaches and players, that's not a bad class.

That's the issue, though. We're judging him by 1 season. That's really not a good sample size. If next year's class looked like this one, then you can start claiming a pattern.

I feel confident he's going to land somewhere and build a hell of a program and we'll feel like idiots. We'll just have to wait and see

Cristobal had the #15 class after being on the job 6 weeks? Again, you are throwing shite at the wall to see what sticks just like the people starting rumors about Harsin

Chuck Oliver didn’t seem to think today that Harsin is gone

Chuck Oliver also used to push Applebees as a good restaurant on Atlanta sports radio. So you can understand why his opinions don't carry much weight

But dude, Applebee's is fancy on a date night, especially if you get that bourbon street steak and the Oreo shake. It's got whipped cream on top too. Just get two straws and tell her "I got you".
