re: Buccees Mascot Coaching Edition (Former Jet Tracking)

It doesn’t make any sense to have a replacement already lined up at this point. Any possible candidate we would want should be coaching their own team at this point and that should be their priority until the end of the regular season. With that being said it is much more common nowadays to fire a coach mid season due to the early signing period. Just look at Wisconsin who has never done it before this season.

It is probably best to go ahead and let go of Harsin after Ole Miss to at least signal to the fan base and recruits that we are ready to move on and start at least putting feelers out there so you can make a move as early as possible. The problem is we have no clear interim lined up. Most the staff is Harsin guys with no HC experience.

I have finally come around to the Lane Train though as my favorite replacement for Harsin. Still a good offensive coach, who likes the run ball (personally important to me), that has actually turned out a solid defense as well. He seems annoyed by the fan base, and lack of NIL support and media recognition in Oxford. Auburn should at least be an upgrade in all those categories.
