I’m scared to check, Tilco. One time I saw a video that auto played of a man sucking off another man just in the comments of an innocent article. Twitter sucks so bad.

I’m not on board with firing the HC year 1. I’m probably willing to give him year 3 unless he just goes completely in the shitter. But I’m also looking at what he’s done so far.
-Recruiting has sucked. Plain and simple. We can continue to make excuses but it’s just a fact. You have a shorter leash when you can’t recruit because then you’re dragging down the next coach with you.
-Good start to the season. Some refreshing things on the field (I.e. pulling Bo when he wasn’t doing anything but them sticking with him after, 1 on 1 in practice, going toe to toe with Bama even on the tail end of a losing streak, actually winning in Baton Rouge)
-Horrible finish. No way we should’ve ever lost the MSU game. Have to close out the Iron Bowl with how it played out. Bowl game was garbage.
I agree with most all of this, but I have a question on the recruiting. I feel like for the most part, Gus' recruiting is praised here. We were consistently around the top 10 and top 5 in the SEC. But how many players transferred out, had off the field issues, or busted completely? I know some of that is expected, but I think there was a clear issue with Gus recruiting guys that were either over ranked due to pure athleticism, or guys that had the talent but weren't willing to put in the effort to get better or stay out of trouble. Add to that the development issues I think we all admit to under Gus, and I think it is fair to say that the end result of Gus' recruiting classes weren't as high as the rankings ever suggested.
With all that said, why wouldn't it be possible to replicate that talent, but by taking a different approach? If we get more players that are bought into the program and are willing to work hard and stay out of trouble, hopefully we have less turnover and transfers. If we do a better job evaluating players, maybe we end up with less bust and more guys outperforming their rankings. Add in player development and we could have a roster that outperforms the general ranking. We would never know that without giving the coach at least a few years to build up the program.
Of course it would be easier to just have a flood of 5 stars and top 5 recruiting classes, but that was never going to be easy at Auburn. Either way, I hope we prove some people wrong this year. There is still plenty of talent on this team, and we were off too a fine start in the first year under Harsin, until Bo got injured and the awful collapse to end the season. Hope we take a big step in the right direction this year, and I'm sure recruiting will follow.

I've been on Twitter for 13 years now and have outright hated it for the last 7 years. Unfortunately for me it's the social media equivalent of the car wreck I can't look away from.

And in the AU news today: per Accuweather - Saturday - A chance of showers and thunderstorms, then showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm after 1pm. Partly sunny, with a high near 85. Chance of precipitation is 60%.
So do we see more Robbie than we might have if sunny?

My first thought is that a Graphic Arts student in high school made it. I’ve been around a Graphic arts class and that’s the kind of stuff you see. It’s even pinned to a cork board probably with other students work we can’t see.

So we're using the same acronym for being a winner and being a loser. WTF are they trying to say here?

I can't decide which Hard group I am in yet. I will look more into it when I'm done watching netflix series all day.

The funny thing is.. the first place I saw that it was tweeted from someone named Dale Harsin.. now I'm not saying they are related (Might be a fake account for all I know), but I couldn't help but roll my eyes at it lol.

quote:
Bryan Harsin is speaking on the SEC Teleconference today. Click refresh, will continue to update...
** Excited to get this season going.
** Eric Kiesau will be the play caller. Kiesau has been up in the box but it's up to him. Harsin was in box mostly as a coordinator but did both. All offensive coaches have a part in developing the game plan.
** OL is stronger. Having Council healthy is good. Brenden Coffey is coming on. Like the mentality of group and the work they've put in. Now, they're got to go out and do it.
** Question about advice he'd give to a coach coming to the SEC: That's a long answer, good question. It depends on the coach. Every coach is different so there's not one way. The football part of it, the X's and O's, no matter the level, you either understand them or you don't. It's the managing of everything else around the game. A lot of that has to do with the people that are around you. It's the same thing you tell your players: You can't do it by yourself. It takes everybody focused on the same goals and on their part.
** Tank Bigsby has worked really hard in the offseason. He's taken ownership in his development. I expect to get the best out of him in every game. Hopefully, he's the best football player he's ever been this season. I know he can do that. He's a key piece for us to be successful. Coach Cadillac has done a good job recruiting that room. Have good depth and competition.
*****THAT'S ALL*****

Let's see if he practices what he preaches this season.
