Should be solid. Better than average recruiter. He bitched to his former administration that recruiting and the conference sucked and needed to be better. He wanted out. You got him. He’s a pretty damn good coach.

Solid hire. Young guy with a fantastic record.

People who hate this hire would’ve also hated Urban in 2004.

Recruiting comes with territory and history. We can’t compare Idaho and Auburn. It’s that easy.

False. Urban was twice the coach that Harsin is, and that was obvious simply watching his Utah teams.

The two are in no way comparable.

Thanks Hairy Dawg. Nice to see Allen Greene put his foot down with the bar b que guys. I think solid hire. None of us on this board know exactly what went down and it’s evident by the ignorant responses. I like the direction Aubie is going. Hope he cleans house, time to get behind him. WDE!

This is going to be a great hire or an absolute bust...and time will obviously tell. I'm more interested in how Freeze, Napier, Kiffin, or Clarke ended up not working out since they were the odds on favorite after Steele.

I like him because he's a goddamn Yankee SOB. I am glad AU is getting away from the GOB southern man stuff.

(Then again this didn't work out too well for MSU).

It’s better than it could’ve been.

Neal Brown was rumored to be one of the only ones left.

The "barbeque boys" all left when Tubs got fired.. Are you 14 or just stupid? A yes man just got hired. What we have to hope for, is that he is the second coming of Machiavelli and the bodies will quickly start hitting the floor.

This is a good hire for Auburn. He will be better than Gus.

Thanks. I’m happy with the hire. Recruiting will be thing to watch with him.

This coaching search just proves that AU insiders have no fricking clue what’s going. I don’t know what was truth and what was BS, but here at the end, I’m content.

Considering where the search was trending, this is a grand slam.

After reading up on him and watching him speak and coach on some YouTube videos, I think he is a no-nonsense guy that loves to coach football. Really hope he has a plan to get some recruiters on staff. His very first task after assembling a staff is rebuilding the lines. They are shite rn.

Guy is a prick and Boise State has never taken to him. I live here and have to hear their drivel daily. They are literally not that disappoint. Average reputation and average coach. He’s completely out of his league and will be eaten alive.

He has the lowest winning percentage of any head coach in the last 20 years at Boise. I am beyond pleased that is who they ended up with.

Ever met Nick Saban? Or Will Muschamp? Or Jeremy Pruitt. Or Urban Meyer. Or Dan Mullen? All of those guys are utter fricking pricks.

Being a prick doesn't concern me in the least.
