1- 3 coaching searches in 5 years. Says alot about the fan base.

2- Still paying Harsin

3- Now will pay Freeze.

4- Any coach worth a damn will tie you up for 5 years.

This is the best way to kill a program.

It’s like just getting your vehicle paid off and a month later it has engine trouble. You can either try to fix it (thousands of dollars) or you can try and get a new “used” one and hope to get a lot of mileage out of it

Auburn like that old dude in the bar talking about all the ex-wives he's paying alimony too.

Honestly. Who would want to go there under these circumstances?

Fans have created a negative environment and the admin has allowed them to control them. This is akin to a kid pitching a fit and the parent giving in. The kid learns they can get away with it and they keep pushing.

The courts have made it clear that the NCAA has no teeth when these decisions have been made at the legislature level. Lawyers and judges are just as much at fault as the NCAA in all of this. It is a parasitic situation and the “kids”, who are now millionaires, are running wild.

And coaches have no teeth in how they try and treat these players because they just stick their middle fingers up and take their ball and go somewhere else

Should have never fired Gus.
Harsin was one of the worst hirings in SEC history. Made zero sense
Freeze was disappointing.

I wasn't talking about players. I'm referring to the fans.

Fans= kids

Rich coming from a fan of a program who threw bricks through a coach’s window.

Also, are you talking about the fans that show up week after week and pack out Jordan Hare to watch an abortion on the field?

I've been reliably informed that Harsin is in Tuscaloosa now.

Just scrolled past a post that said:

Auburn will have paid its last 3 football coaches $52 MILLION in buyouts:

- Gus Malzahn: $21 million
- Brian Harsin: $15 million
- Hugh Freeze: $16 million

This is why James Franklin makes the most sense. They could literally get him for the $30,000 Alabama paid Butch Jones, due to Franklin's buyout stipulations. Franklin won't make more than $8M next year, no matter what. Auburn should let Penn State pay their next coach.

Somebody looking for a big arse buyout?

Or, you get lucky and win a title.

Auburn is a win-win destination.
