She held the same position at Boise so I’m not sure about the “unqualified” angle


Is her position on top, or on her back? Inquiring minds want to know.

Hoke and some of the other AU beat writers are more professional.


Gotcha. I see Hoke on Twitter and he seems pretty good. Don't really know who any of the others are. It sucks that some of these guys have just turned into paid shite stirrers. I'm sure we have our own too, but I only read the Tuscaloosa News guys and Suttles for the most part.

I’ve never really understood this. If she isn’t qualified and got hired for ulterior motives then outrage is understandable. But otherwise it’s two consenting adults


Yeah, that's what Jeff Zucker thought.

The CEO of an organization can't be fricking a subordinate. Period. End of discussion. It creates opportunities for allegations of favoritism and creates the possibility of sexual harassment lawsuits against the university when the relationship goes sour. And it almost always goes sour. See Mike Dubose. Zucker's sidepiece at CNN was obviously imminently qualified. It doesn't matter.

You don't screw the help.

If she reports to him it’s sexual harassment, a violation of ethics, etc

I have no knowledge but the posting of the girls info was out of line yesterday. If it's true it will come out and the scorn will be deserved...accusing Harsin comes with the spotlight of his job but the girls info should have never been posted.

If it gets out and is true you know it's an inside job because there is nobody in the SEC that wants to see Auburn slip out of the Harsin hire.

Seems like this would be a positive for auburn. Could fire a terrible coach without paying the buy out.

Honest opinion? I have been scanning the private boards (which true rumors hit first) and I haven't found anything. We are in an internal struggle with our beat writers rn. Harsin has cut them off completely and many are pissed. PM being one. This feels like one of them trying to get back at Harsin for cutting them off.

I don't post much and when I do its about basketball mostly but I feel like I need to add a little bit to your post because your opinion is closer to the truth than many on here might expect it to be. I am not a "look at me" type poster but I do have a connection to an athletic booster at AU. He knows nothing about Harsin doing anything like this. Now, Phillip Marshall is another story. I left 24/7 because of him and Sanders spreading false information. Marshall is a mouthpiece for some of the big money dudes that got their feelings hurt when Harsin was hired. I, and many, many more called his fat arse out on it when he couldn't hide his agenda any longer. There are some good people on 24/7(Murphy,Kneibur,King) who do responsible reporting but Marshall and Sanders ain't part of that group. Don't believe this about Harsin until Hoke reports on it and says its true. As of right now, Hoke says is BS

There's no way Harsin could've known how cut throat and volatile this conference can be and he couldn't have been prepared for the microscope he's under.


He should have called up Mike Price then.

While I agree, it also isn't the business of anyone but the people involved. I've maintained that since the Clinton days.

Any bull shite regarding preferential treatment or jobs/benefits/etc, sure......that's a problem. Who someone decides to sleep with at any point of their life is none of my, nor anyone's, business.



Good luck being a leader to your other coaches and players if you live with no morals away from the team.

I'm not leaning one way or the other on if this story is true, but what I do know is that you don't hire cute girls to be your personal assistant. You're just setting yourself up for blue balls, rumors, or an affair.

No one should be fired for their personal life.

HOWEVER. If you hire the person, give them a paycheck, and then have an affair with that person....... that's not you getting fired for having sex. That's you being fired for breaking multiple workplace rules that basically everyone has to abide by.

Maybe this is why Austin Davis quit before he got started.



Yeah, the dude left his football career altogether because a boss at his new job was sleeping around. frick outta here.

But how many women on staffs are qualified? 'Recruiting director' Lee Davis has never been qualified for what she does. Slept around with married coaches. Ruined their careers. Followed Merlins penis to Florida, clearly did a shitty job at whatever she does, and now Venables mysteriously hired her. Not weird at all.
