If Tank Bigsby stays inbounds on that late 4th quarter run against Alabana last year, Auburn runs out the clock and wins the game. Harsin buys at LEAST two more years with a Bana win.

Instead, the slide commences. He loses the bowl game to a very underwhelming UH. He loses the golden boy QB who is tearing it up at Oregon and proceeds to get humiliated by Penn St, LSU, GA, and Arky.

What happens if Tank Bigsby stays in-bounds in the Iron Bowl? My how the turn tables.

Auburn would win the IB, and Harsin would still be fired today.

I think the injury to Box Nix in the MSU game cost him his job.

That is actually an interesting thought.

Probably would've realistically lengthened Harsin's leash a bit, at least.

Don't believe that would have saved him as you're still looking at a 7-6 record followed up by a 3-5 record, shite recruiting and power players who wanted him the frick gone.

Even if it would have, the situation wasn't getting better...so in your hypothetical, thanks for going out of bounds and speeding up ripping that band-aid Tank.

What if our guy doesn’t pull up lame on the kickoff vs FSU in the NC where they ended up scoring a TD running down his lane?

What if the voters would have been smarter in 2004 and put AU instead of Oklahoma into the NC game?

What if Ramsey never spoke out about Pat Dye?

It wouldn’t have mattered given his record and lack of recruiting since then.

Harsin being Alpha AF with the boosters cost him his job. He was a my way or the highway guy. The money people hated him for that. That’s why they tried to run him off last offseason and basically cut his legs off for this season.

Maybe if the butterfly effect kept Bo Nix around.

Meh. He'd still be running for his life at Auburn with no offensive line. I don't see the record being much different with him.

The Barn would have offered him a Gus like contract after beating Bama (like they always do) and today the buyout would be 45 million.

What's lost in this is that Saban was out coached by Harsin.

Saban is so washed.

This is true and don't let any of those shitfricks tell you any different. All Auburn cares about. All they've ever cared about is beating Alabama.

Go 1 and 11, just so long as that one is the Iron Bowl and you get a raise and extension.

Pathetic football culture they've got over there.

What if Tim Tebow went to Alabama (like he was going to), and Mike Shula was still their coach when Saban was looking to get back to college?

Maybe one of the biggest dominoes/what-ifs in recent SEC history.

What if Mike Price hadn’t given the company card to a hooker he left alone in his hotel room?
