Gus was a bad coach but he recruited good enough to out talent 80% of his opponents. Harsin is a bad coach who couldn't get a 5* he was giving out blank yellawood checks to recruits

Yep. We are the new UT. They made a horrible hire. Very sad.

I don’t know why anyone is laughing. Gus didn’t recruit o line well, but we had playmakers all over the field for his entire tenure. This is why we could beat a program like Alabama in 3 of his 8 years.

Gus wasn’t the right guy for the job, but Harsin isn’t showing any improvements anywhere. Lots of evidence he’s worse in areas.

The short term memory you guys have is absurd. You think we out talented 80% of our opponents?

Gus and Allen Greene have us back to the good ol’ Doug Barfield days of competing at the level of Kentucky and Vandy.

Yay?

In terms of recruiting, yea. Arkansas, ole Miss, and Mississippi state are a lot better now than during the majority of Gus’ tenure

I'd argue those have actually been our worst units this year. With both lines slightly behind them.

I’m not sure how you took that from my post. We strongly out recruited half of the SEC West and were on par with the other half (besides Bama). My point was it just doesn’t seem like it at the moment because the half we out recruited have gotten significantly better the past two years.

I wouldn’t say we out talented 80%, but I’d say we had at least 6 games a year where we had decently more talent

I’m just going to assume you don’t understand what out-talenting
an opponent means and be done with it.

We are playing this season with Gus' O-line.
Our O-line is bottom tier in the SEC.

This does not detract from the fact that Harsin has made some REALLY BAD decisions in the last two games.
