Harsin royally fricked us.

Did he?
When a couple of high school coaches within a 100 mile radius of the Auburn campus said they'd never seen Harsin enter their doors (and he'd been at Auburn for 14 months), everyone knew he had not clue how to run and SEC program. What's more, his ego wouldn't allow him to listen and learn from his own staffers, many who had years of SEC recruiting experience. Derrick Mason, Will Friend, Mike Bobo, Carnell Williams, etc had years on the SEC recruiting trail and they knew how to recruit. Yet Harson with his "alpha-male" persona harped on accountability and hard work and couldn't bring himself to sell the Auburn program or his vision of football. Hell, in his 1st year at AU, he never darkened the doors of Thompson HS, or Carver HS, Montgomery Catholic who had some of the state's top talent that year.

Thank you.
This is all well known.
Look, for all I know Harsin is a great guy. He did make it a point to be at his kid’s high school football games and all that. That’s a credit to him and probably means he’s a good father.
But if you’re going to be the head coach in an SEC program with expectations like Auburn, you’re going to be expected to put your nose to the grindstone to recruit. Harsin wouldn’t fricking do it. Sure getting to your kid’s games is important but at the same time you’re getting paid 5 million a year to do a job. He didn’t.
