Harsin was done wrong (mostly by social media), but he also was the worst recruiter I have ever seen at a top half SEC school. He deserved firing for his shitty classes and his year two record.

He may genuinely just be a shitty recruiter, but it's probably hard to stay fully engaged, counter negative recruiting, and make headway in living rooms (outside of Clesi's obviously) when your own future and personal morals are placed in doubt by those associated closely with your own program.

It's not that. The stories about good football players that wanted to play at Auburn, and Harsin didn't recruit, would blow your mind. He just has never recruited at this level and is clueless on how to do it. On Friday night, when the staff is being seen at HS games, Harsin was going and watching his son play for Auburn High.....every game.



ETA Do you think coaches are negative recruiting Freeze? Either you work your arse off at it or you don't. In this league you had better work your arse off.

Harsin brought a lot on himself but it's hard to argue with any of this. It was frustrating as an alumnus to watch the undermining by certain boosters.

Auburn boosters gave Leath full autonomy in hiring Greene who went rogue and hired Harsin after an interview in a hot tub!
It was a Pandora's box. Auburn actually showed a bit of class not making public some thing the ladies of the family were doing. Not to mention the failure of the man as a coach. He was coming to work at 10:00 am for mercy sakes, changing game plans on Wednesday and leaving it up to the assistant coaches to put the plan in while he went home at 5, toxic with coaching staff, arrogant, racial statements in staff meetings, refusing to meet recruits.The list goes on and on and on. Auburn could have ruined the man's career had they chose too.
There is always two sides to every story. Generally the one who screams the loudest is usually the one guilty. Auburn was as easy target for lazy press. Auburn stayed quiet and moved on. Nowhere was it confirmed that Auburn instigated or investigated anything against the man until rumors started popping up on the internet. Hell, half you boys on here more than likely played with yourselves looking at the pic of Chelsea or whatever her name was.
What administration would not make a move? The Hardadians where their worst enemy.
Greene now works for Ole Miss. Who gives a damn where Harsin is.
2025 Auburn will have a top 5 if not #1 recruiting class in the country.
Next time you boys see Bobo, Kirby, Nick ask them who they would rather have coach at Auburn.
Hugh Freeze is the name they will mention.
The 6-5 year party is over!
