re: Is Cal the worst coach a fanbase has ever been excited about hiring?

Auburn fans were excited for Harsin.

I think a lot of Barners were trying to convince themselves it was a good hire, but no one was excited about Harsin. Boise wasn't doing anything special after the Dan Hawkins and Chris Petersen years.

FWIW, I thought Harsin could be a good hire for the Barn, but it wasn't like BSU was routinely appearing in BCS/NY6 bowl games under Harsin.

His piss poor recruiting after Gus ignoring the OL the last years he was HC cannot be understated. I am absolutely convinced I could pick 10 Auburn posters on this board, pay them $100K a year each, and they would have done a better job scouting, recruiting, and signing players than Harsin and his staff did.
