AUFB PTB do not know what it takes to be serious to win Championships. They have no idea how to compete. The program is weak and embarrassing. It’s pathetic. Worst yet, it has become strictly a $$$ grab to fleece the alumni base. Hundreds of millions of $$$$ pissed away by idiots incapable of running what was once a well oiled machine. Maybe if we’re lucky the program be resurrected in 50 years once the dead weight has been far removed from campus.

When Harsin was hired we were cussing the PTB that wanted someone else.

After Harsin was fired we said maybe they need to get their man. And we got Bucky Freeze.

It is more than that and you are old enough to know. And my point is, you have seen enough Auburn coaching search's to know that it is more than a crap shoot.

Auburn has NEVER been able to draw in a reputable coach. NEVER. I think a lot of us overvalue the Auburn head coaching job. Coaches coming in know what they are in for with the administration.



At some point, you just have to admit it

Dare I say our past Good Ole Boys from the 90’s should have been left alone to do what they needed to do … the current crew haven’t a clue

There is one person on here that I pay attention to when it comes to coaching searches and that is Smurphy.

Not you.

Your list is mostly dogshit. Not surprising considering the source.

Only in football though - they know what they are doing in basketball and baseball.

Just like UA knew what they were doing in hiring Saban and same with Georgia in hiring Kirby Smart.

Good fortune and timing nothing to do with it.

(UGA would not have fired Richt if South Carolina wasn't about to hire Smart)

The PTB hired the Iowa President and then hired Greene, who hired Harsin based on a conversation in a hot tub.. Both were gone with quickness, but proved that the money men had a severe lack of judgment.

I don’t think you should be making a prospective coaching hire list unless you are going to throw your millions in.

See how silly that is.

Nothing.

But the illusion that he is "in" keeps us hooked
