Nix would’ve put Auburn in position to win at least 9 wins. Not having a healthy Nix did Harsin no favors on fan perspective there. Not disagreeing though. The remaining higher recruited players like Zakoby plus rivalry games at home last season gave him higher odds for pulling off some program building wins.

I believe he can right the ship and I’ll jump on board when he does but I cannot root for him yet. His roster moves, roster attrition, recruiting, team success, and coaching attrition all show an unproven coach out of his league and I’m not defending a runaway train. I’m pretty big on positive trajectory. Give me something that shows better days are ahead. Bruce showed some signs of upper movement with Horace Spencer’s and Jared Harper’s recruiting class. Any kind of upward trajectory will be swell but the recruits are gonna make Harsin show it first.

Bruce proved he could recruit with the Bowers class. Now they didn’t become sec champs but excitement was building. He also endearing to the fans. Harsins is forced and fake. Without Bama and UGA on the home schedule this year I bet real fans in the seat averages about 73k this year. So essentially 10k short on average for games. I’m not demanding a firing. Like I said if we don’t win 8 games this season we don’t win 6 next season. So just depends completely how this season and signing day goes. We will probably take 24-25 high school players and 5-6 transfers at the end of the year. There is no reason AU with a full 25ish shouldn’t finish inside the Top 10 recruiting.

I’m tired of discussing this and just gonna wait it out. I always want AU to sign every 5 star and win ever game.

I am starting to walk backwards too on my confidence in this year's recruiting. And it pains me to do so, bc we all know what that will mean if we don't pull in a top 10-15 class....The depth and quality of the players expected to start the next 2-3 years will make us even LESS a competitve team for the SEC...much less the SECW.

I agree this recruiting sites promoting AU, say the same things now when they talk about a recruit that visited.."Had a great time" or "I can see me going to AU" and then as crunch time comes, even though by golly we have made the top 5 or top 3...we some how end up the brides maid again.

If that happens again this year...how can we be enthusiastic about watching the actual games?
I will ofc..and pull for Harsin and his staff. And if Harsin pulls off a 9 win season...then I'll be even more confused bc of what our 2023 class will contribute if it falls below 20th in ranking...

Do I now look forward 2024 recruiting or is Harsin gone anyway?
