Anyone else noticing Harsin heavily influencing the position coach hires?

I mean, but how much did he though? Defensively, I honestly don't know how much he really had a say in those hires. Did he have some influence, sure, but Mason had pretty direct relationship with Rocker at Vandy and apparently had recommendation with Ethridge. Watts, no idea there.

Offensively, Friend is because of Bobo. Rest of the offensive staff, no idea.

I mean the head coach should have some pretty serious input on the position coaches. I think most of people's issues with Gus was more that the positional coaches he hired, basically only ever coached for him. Every coach is going to have their guys, it is usually nice to have guys that have coached elsewhere before and had some success.

I think Auburn fans would have no problem with a head coach being a dictator of the program, you just better succeed at what you do
