re: Non-Auburn perspective: Best thing for them at this point—Should he stay or go?

There is no good option. There is only a couple of poor options. They have to pick their poison.

The best option imo would have been to go about business as usual and just lay low another year with Harsin. That option is now unavailable because they wanted him gone so bad they dragged him through the mud. Can’t keep him now. But they’re stupid if they think he’s going to settle. And he’s stupid if he does. I feel like he’s been so damaged he can’t get a decent job after this anyway. He’ll sit tight and not settle. So if auburn tries to fire with cause, he’ll likely drag things out like Pruitt.

Auburns best option is to pay the man, then hire someone for a truck load of money. It’s the only way they’ll get someone decent. They’ll need to come up with 75-100 million guaranteed. And stop making public statements ffs. Shut up and just take care of your shite.

So money is the answer. They will need to spend a shite load of it.
