4 years ago if Tennessee fans started multiple threads about Saban’s poor coaching (which didn’t happen…for Saban or Harsin) it would be closer to being as dumb as a Mizzou fan starting multiple threads about Harsin.
I mean look, Harsin has a great win% but there are some serious questions (most coaches have these) about him that should be answered within the first two years or so.
Harsin didn't luck into those wins but we certainly could look back in 2-3 years and believe those numbers were significantly inflated because of different reasons.
We could also look back and say this guy should have been hired to a big school sooner if he starts killing it.

He allegedly had some offers but didn’t consider them until Auburn came calling. He also realized Boise had reached a ceiling until they started investing more on coaches and facilities.
People will point to his record there vs Petersen’s and not acknowledge there were other factors (like the arms race with coaching staffs and facilities) that weren’t as much of a factor 10 years ago.
There are very few negatives to Harsin IMO. Of course he’s a gamble, but there are only handful of coaching candidates every year that are not.
I’m thrilled Auburn didn’t hire a guy like Muschamp or Lashlee or Drinkwitz or somebody like that just because they have coached in Auburn before. There are a lot of good coaches out there and it’s dumb to assume they won’t do well elsewhere because of geography
