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

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.

That gif didn’t mean shite for frick. It served literally no purpose at all other than to take a quick jab for the whirly bird. That’s why it’s been so frustrating that so many people have wanted to have full blown discussions about football theory based on that gif. The literal only reason I posted it was because the spinning looks stupid.

ust to clarify, you believe that average recruiting rankings and average seasonal outcomes are purely coincidental?

---

No, average recruiting rankings with great coaching and development leads to a successful program.
High recruiting rankings and poor coaching and development leads to an average or worse program.
Great recruiting rankings (talent eval) and average coaching and development can still lead to a great program. It depends on the competition.

Gus did not develop key players and it cost him. His system got old and it cost him. His S&C was aligned to his system and it eventually cost him. Pretty simple.

I really think this is all about bammer's fear that AU might catch lighting in a bottle for the third time.

You would too if this guy was playing DB for Bama instead of Auburn.

It will be interesting to see Auburn’s season play out. If Harsin turns in a 7-5 year with a couple of beatdowns at the hands of Bama and UGA, will they be patient with him? Or worse, if he forfeits a game or two due to Covid, will they be ok with it? Or do the PTB lose it and fire Harsin and/or Allen Greene? It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Auburn at such a crossroads for the program.

Yes.

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.

Because the smart posters here can see though your bullshite. For example, no one who played college football says "near boundary". Its boundary side or field side. We would even let you get away with short side or wide side.

Second, you are a Bama fan so you don't get it. A lot of schools out there cannot line up and "Out talent"everyone, and Auburn is one of them. When they won it all it was because they had an other worldly talent in Cam Newton, and some key pieces sprinkled in. In fact, they were the team with the lowest level recruiting classes to win a title in 25 years or more. They have to out scheme their opponents, and its likely that their Admin understands that and is hiring accordingly. Maybe they understand being wedged between Bama, LSU, and GA is a recruiting war they cannot and have not been able to win, and are addressing it realistically.

So they hire a coach who has been able to string together 10 after 10 win season with smoke and mirrors, while rising p to beat P5 opponents on the reg to do what he does at Auburn. Maybe it works and maybe it doesn't, but kudos to Auburn for trying to fight the fight their way.
