As if Bama was functional before Saban

The weird thing about is all the former coaches come back and live it Auburn. Gus being an exception at the moment, but he’s coaching elsewhere.
Goff, Donnan, and Richt (and his extended family) all live in Athens.

Ouch. That left a mark.

It's really hard to see how Harsin can survive, but I think this is more about a the transition to more professional athletic department management from the GOB system of yesteryear.
Sadly for AU, this is more of a step backward to the GOB network than a step forward away from it.
Harsin was AD Greene's hire. Greene (who has no previous connections to Auburn) was hired by former AU president Leath. Leath also had no previous connections to AU.
Granted, Leath was a horrible president and needed to get axed. However, him being gone (interim president is an AU alum) and a new president just being named (not an alum, but has been at the school 20+ years including 10 as dean of College of Engineering) means that Greene has no power.
I think the question becomes, does new new President become a puppet of TPTB, or does he try to stay in the more professional direction.

As long as there is the Auburn PTB and fans like you that support them, I rest easy that Auburn will never be a consistent contender.
Thinking Harsin sucks and supporting the PTB are mutually exclusive. If they have any way whatsoever to can the guy where its not an outright coup I want them to. I think another year of him is wasting our time.
I always laugh at the clowns who assume that the next guy will be better.
Anyone who was old enough to watch college football in 2003 knows that when you fire a coach at this time of year, you end up having to choose between Mike Shula and Sylvester Croom. Or maybe even a Derek Dooley.
Go ahead. Take your pick.
Auburn's best shot at success in the next couple of years is to ride Harsin for a couple more years and see what happens.
No worries, though. They won't do it. So not only will Auburn suck arse for the foreseeable future...they'll also be paying Malzahna and Harsin a shitload of money to work somewhere else.

Thats not a reason to keep a bad coach. There is always uncertainty with a new hire.

I won't ever argue that the timing is great. But apparently the investigation has been going on for a while, and Auburn may not really have a choice but to can him depending on what they are investigating and the results.

You're stupid if you believe this given everything going on.

After 3 conference championships and a 69-19 record, Harsin moves to Auburn and suddenly forgets how to coach football.
Sure, pal.

Bad football coaches don't win 3 conference championships, even in the Mountain West.
Seriously...are you really this fricking stupid IRL, or is this just your message board schtick?

Do y'all really have a choice even if the investigation reveals all he is guilty of is being an a-hole? The well appears to have been poisoned at this point. If y'all ultimately keep him then the narrative will likely be that you just couldn't find anyone else to take the job.

He could be a great football coach who will nevertheless fail in the SEC because he's not a good people person and isn't capable of attracting and retaining top assistants or players. And that seems to be the real issue with him. This conference is loaded with good coaches. What sets some of them apart from others is the ability to successfully do everything else related to running a top program.

Found Harsin's burner. Him being a Bama fan makes a lot of sense, no wonder he wants to destroy the program from within.
:lol: :lol:
At easily the best program in his conference, and succeeded Chris Peterson
Boise State fans generally aren't that high on him and blame him for both sides of the LOS being so thin right now, but what would they know... he only coached there for 7 years
He is a "bad" SEC head coach. Better now?

If the investigation clears him I don't see why that would be the narrative.
"The media found out about us doing a routine investigation and blew it up, we investigated and found nothing. Not once have we said anything about him not being our football coach going forward"

There is absolutely nothing routine about an internal investigation of the head coach of an SEC football program for having a sexual relationship with a subordinate and/or mistreating staff and players.
"We have investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing" isn't convincing, even if it's actually true. If you don't think all this stuff will be mercilessly used against y'all in recruiting you have lost your mind.
