Are they extremely incompetent and lacking leadership? Let’s face it, hiring Bobo and Mason was a huge red flag. Being forced to go that far outside the normal realm to find a HC also speaks volumes on the status of the program. Do those making the donations have a clue or is it a power prestige thing? The higher ups have failed on multiple levels since 2015 and now we are what we feared. Is Auburn really an attractive position? Is the coaching fraternity scared of the monster known as the SECW or the finicky nature of our program? I’m leaning towards what impacted UAT prior to Saban, too many chiefs not enough Indians... The BOT really messed up by bringing in Leath, allowing Gus to be extended and now we are suffering the result. They (PTB) couldn’t afford a buyout of Gus and a new competitive HC. Now we’re stuck with an outsider that cannot recruit against the shark tank.

I think you’re hitting the panic button too soon. Harsin’s record shows he’s not a bad coach at all. We got to a bowl game despite most people thinking we wouldn’t after the GSU game. Is he in over his head in the SEC? It’s still way too early to tell. We’ll have a good idea after next season.

UF 6-6 equal terminated HC, same for LSU... Harsin has one year to turn it around... The seat is already warming with the boneheaded end of season losing streak. Drop a game in the BHAM Bowl for a losing record and the perception of the program only drops lower. I’m not a doom and gloomer and wish the HC well but this isn’t trending in the right direction currently. I was right about Malzahn and I’m right about this situation despite the desperate attempts of the board cheerleaders.

Yes, they have. Heard that they're considering completely shutting down the football program. Given your immense knowledge about the inner workings of the AD, I'm amazed that you hadn't heard.

Do we have a d1 offensive lineman on our current roster? Bagman needs to get it together because I’m not seeing any improvement come ESD...

Dude, you're getting exactly what the hating anti-PTB'ers, anti-JJ'ers, and anti-Dye'ers of all these many years have paid for and been begging for.

Having fun yet?

Lineman? Hell, I don't think we have a D1 waterboy at this point.

Jesus. How many of the Auburn Board posters are currently on medication or need medication?

Yep, I've said it for a long time. You have to start believing. The negative attitude of fans filters down into everything, from the AD to the staff to the players.

the football program has sucked since 2015.... we've watched mistake after mistake made by those in charge of the athletic department.... I'm just glad we averted the wishes of Leath regarding Pearl.. If not for Bruce and Butch we would be bottom dwellers...

I twitted about KD Johnson during the game against Syracuse. Didn’t tag him or anything. It was just a little simple KD is the man type of tweet.


He liked my post probably 2 hours after the game. They’re paying attention.
