I just dont see how AU will be a competitive program for a long time under this guy. hes clearly not going to be a 10 year hc that wins a couple championships.


I think judging anybody off of one year is ridiculous....especially with the roster deficiencies we all knew he was inheriting. We won't know what he is capable of for four year.

Hell, saban went 7-6 and lost to La-Mo his first year at bama. IF it was at Auburn, a bunch of our morons would have been screaming for his head.

I think on field will tell the story. A 7-8 win season where nobody really wants to play us because we play sound, competitive football will win over a lot of fans I think and buy Harsin 1-2 years to show where he's heading.

There are a lot of "inside the program" rumbles that this team can overachieve, and I hope that the cycle of purging those who didn't want to be here and going through the fire in January will create some cohesion I think we lacked in recent years.

We'll see.

Small chance. We were 6-2, killing MSU and Bo was injured. Went prevent defense and we stopped scoring. Hangover loss to USC. Tank was fighting for extra yards, instead of going down against Bama. We have to beat PSU, we have no chance vs Bama And UGA.

This line is grossly overly used. They’re not even slightly similar situations. Saban immediately added players to strengthen the team. Harsin went 6-7 and has yet to add help for his cause. Do you really think us Auburn fans wouldn’t be giddy to write off one-off outliers if the recruiting was where it needed to be. Most of us wants to love Harsin just as much as we love Pearl, yet we cannot even tell Harsin belongs at Auburn or wants to be at Auburn.

I don't believe Saban would have had remotely the same success at Auburn as he did at bama. Our boosters would have never allowed his autonomy and the NCAA certainly wouldn't have looked the other way while a kid's family moved thousands of miles to play or the athletic parking lot filled with Chargers. Either way, Saban would have been sent packing at some point.

Sadly, Harsin never got a fair shake. The booster bafoonery this off season ended his shot.

You can't really compare the two situations. Saban already had a National Championship under his belt. They knew he would succeed eventually.
