re: Harsin’s scheme simply doesn’t fit with Auburn’s personnel

This is fricking hilarious. Nobody, and I mean nobody knows how Harsin is going to do. Let’s at least give the guy one game under his belt before we figure out whether or not he’s going to be a wild success or dismal failure.

Did you say the same when Gus was hired after Chizik failed to win a SEC game in 2012?

AU returns more starters than most of the league. Talent wasn't AUs problem.

Considering Auburn did very well in the transfer portal by all accounts (looks like we will have at least 6-7 transfers that will contribute significant minutes and not because there is a lack of talent at their position) I don’t think we are as far behind as most. I will say that we will need another significant influx of transfers to supplement the 22 class to fill the gap.

No, no, it’s a super clever play call with really neat and confusing shifts that are incredibly complicated - to include a full 270 spineroonie.

I love when people who don't know anything about football try and make disparaging comments.

You send the blocking personnel and back out there to see what the numbers look like. If you get favorable numbers you throw it out to the back and walk in the endzone. If not you shift back under center and run it. It also puts something on film for your future opponents to think about. Which later on down the road could leave them light in the box vs a QB run.

Shifts have meaning in football. They are checks to see what the defense is in, as well as wholesale changes of plays from one shift to the next. It's not just some whirly bird something or another, or whatever the hell you called it.

The reason folks "use the potty around the corner" is to prevent boomer figs named BigTastey from ogling at their peens.

How in the absolute monkey frick are there still people 10 pages later who haven’t bothered to read what I’ve said about that shift? I played college football. I know what a fricking shift is. That has absolutely nothing to do with this conversation.

This horseshite right here



Is a motherfricking whirly bird (270 degree spinneroonie towards the near boundary) that serves zero, ZERO, NADA, 0 purpose.

They fired that guy for good reason, right? Because he underachieved? Or was it for some other reason?

I know some people live and die by the recruiting rankings for obvious reasons. They don't have to know football, they just use other people's work. Truth is it's sbout development of talent and the system they are in. Some don't have the knowledge to understand that fact. Those guys are usually the ones who look at the stat sheets on Sunday morning.

What has Auburn’s average standing in the SEC West over the last 10 years?

What has been their average recruiting ranking in the SEC West over that period of time?

I think you’ll find those numbers aren’t too far apart.

No, they fired him because he couldn't take advantage of any success. Some might say he overachieved, but couldn't figure out the formula.

What does average standing have to do with anything. It is your achievements that people remember, not your average standing. In 11 seasons AU played for two NC, played in three SECG, won a NC and two SECC.

Recruiting rankings are for people who don't know football and depend on someone else to tell you how good a player is. Development of players goes a lot further than some number on a list compiled by writers who were lucky to play a down in HS.

I actually agree with your point - that synchronized-swimmer pirouette is totally superfluous and pointless.

However, I fail to see its relevancy for AU football 2021, seeing as how it was from a bowl game four years ago, involving a different team with a different OC and drastically different personnel. And it could easily be argued it was a bit of a flourish in a game that was pretty much over at that point (2:32 in the 4th, already up by two scores). Its not like you pulled something like that from a competitive game.

I honestly think AU’s offense will be much more like Bobo’s offenses at UGa, CSU and SC, seeing as how he will be the one setting the schemes and calling the plays. Whether or not it will be effective at AU is TBD.
