Harsin postgame presser

80's coach speak is his forte. He knocks that out of the park.

Sounds like he’s not happy with the staff

Yet, we keep seeing the same crap each week

frick what he said. frick losing.

Every week the same speech…

I knew that this was going to be a rebuilding year. I knew that Gus had left the cubbard bare except for 67 4 star WRs who might have been overrated, 2 1/2 linemen, 15 4 star “athletes” who he put in the defensive backfield, 1 QB, and a Carlson. To me, success was going to be measured not in wins and losses, but in how we competed. At 6-2, I was very pleased with where we were. I figured 8-4 was our floor, giving a big middle finger to those who picked us to finish last. Now, staring a 6-6 season in the face, I am concerned, not by the play calling last night, but by how far we’ve fallen since halftime of the Ole Miss game. That was the start. I was concerned at the aTm game, but that was a good team. I can’t explain the total collapse in the MS or SC games. It’s almost as if the whole thing is rigged, and we were told to lose.

I don’t mind the 4th and 1 play call. I have often wondered about faking the dive and throwing deep to a streaking WR. But, we didn’t really go deep, or have a streaking WR.

Back to my original point, this season I wanted to see a team who was physical and competed every week. One who improved as the season went on. At 6-2, we were that team. At 6-5, it’s obvious that there is something going on behind the scenes. Teams just don’t regress that much unless there is conflict within. Maybe it’s an offense vs defense thing. Maybe it’s a vax vs unvax thing. And, it’s Harsin’s job to fix that. The look on Tank’s face said it all.

He always says “we gotta finish.”

Our guys don’t have the right mindset to “finish.”

ETA: We haven’t had that tough Blue Collar Auburn toughness in quite a while. Tank has it but we need it everywhere.
