re: Why Bryan Harsin believes the Boise State blueprint will work at Auburn

Jeremy Pruitt I will bring up once again as an example. It was apparent before he was hired he wouldn't be a good HC. Yet Tennessee did it anyway and why? For the same stupid reasons you guys keep naming.

That would be a valid comparison if he had been an HC for 9 years already, with multiple conference championships. Which he hadn’t.

If you really wanted to compare Harsin to a former Vol HC you should have picked Lyle. He was a successful HC at the G5 level and won a few conference titles as well. Of course he was also considered a solid hire by UT at the time.

And if you ask the vast majority of AU posters here, we realize Harsin is a roll of the dice, just like Jones was at UT. Not every school can afford to throw the most onesided contract in CFB history at a Nick Saban like Bama did in ‘07, but then again yall were desperate for success after four consecutive disastrous hires.

Again, if Harsin fails at AU I’ll be the first to congratulate you on your brilliant analysis.

Well, I take that back - I’ll be the second, since you’ve already sprained your arm patting yourself on the back here.
