Putting in the effort.
Seriously. Harsin was the laziest, most arrogant prick when it came to recruiting. Tons of stories out there about not picking up kids and their family at the airport, not meeting HS coaches, standing up recruits at dinners...
He put in zero effort in recruiting.
ETA: Being able to throw some cash at kids and a $100MM facility just opening for this season don't hurt either.

While I don't doubt what you say above - clearly a bad hire - it's also fair to say he didn't have support of the boosters or fanbase - how much NIL was put out there for him versus Freeze? 20%?

Harsin’s greatest sin (among many) was actually believing he could out develop Kirby and Nick. Dude was an active HC and somehow believed all the message board nonsense about Kirby and Nick just out talenting people when they’ve both been developing players at a high clip for a while now.
Freeze for all his misgivings (of which there are also many) isn’t that stupid. He’s going to succeed in his first 3 years while the novelty and PT are in his favor, it’s years 4-6 that are going to be a mystery. But even if he flames out for whatever reason, Auburn will be in a better place than they have been with Harsin.
