I get it. This site can be a difficult place to find honest discussion, and a lot of people are assholes just for the sake of it. My entire family is Auburn fans, so I pull for them more than most teams.

I don't take it as attacks on me most of the time by any fanbase other than the Cult and occasionally UGA. It is an attack on the truth in my opinion. That makes to dig in and push back.

Not everyone is attacking you.

Come on Iron... it is rich and down right humorous that these guys know so much about the inside workings at Auburn.
If their brains were made if dynamite it wouldn't be enough to blow their hats off!!!!

It has been a rocky start at Auburn for the head coach, but he can at least take solace knowing it reportedly isn't a surefire thing that he will be fired after the season.
TPTB appear to be backing off.

Albert Means, Gene Jelks, Antonio Langhum, Dubose sex scandal, Stalling forced to retire, Lang, Kirk, womens track team bookstore questionable charges, misuse of free text books, Franchione, Tyrone Beamans slush fund, 16 athletic teams were penalized for textbook fraud. All since 1993 and I didn't address the stipper football coach or Whimp!
Fat Al has come closer to the death penalty than any other school in the SEC!
Aubie says you can stick all those deserved and underserved trophies up your big fat arse and truly could care less how many you have or claim.

Nobody is more critical of Auburn than Auburn fans. Sometimes to the extreme. AU fans have never avoided the truth and most of us embrace it. The best example of me battling the DA remarks was "the list" two years ago. I knew the truth and had the list, wasn't going to post it. What made me publish it was the narrative by some on here that Steele was the only person a dysfunctional Auburn Administration was going to talk to. I kept posting the list to explain what had gone on and how Harsin was selected. To this day many in the "Cult" reference this "secret list" to try and say I am FOS. It is not an issue with me, but I enjoy rubbing their nose in the truth.
PS-I didn't like most of the candidates on the list.

The idea of a list is only good if they wanted the job. If they back off then it is back to square one. But firing someone first and then that sure hired decided to back off then it is what I think happened and ended with Harsin.

It never got to the point that anyone turned them down, some might have claimed they did after it was known they interviewed. The process never got that far before it was taken away from them. No, they ended up with Harsin because Greene was the sole committee for the selection. Harsin was the first- and only-person Greene talked to for the job. That is why he is gone now.

Why was there no one checking on Greene about whom he has interviewed? That is why it was a bad chain of command. He should have talked to boosters and others to get a final approval. That was surprising that it never happened that way. Arkansas did the something similar. Their former assistant AD made the decision to hire Chad Morris. It was a done deal without others knowing it. Already signed the contract. That was so sickening to see that happened that way.

That is why he pissed in his own wheaties. Gogue gave him the authority and he ran with it.

Auburn sold it's soul for Cam. The devil cashed in.

Georgia happened. There's too many cooks in the kitchen when Georiga and Alabama are elite.

Once Texas A&M took over the SEC they had no chance

This really does sum it up. I look at the town itself, and how it has grown and changed over the last 20 years (and sometimes not in a good way), and yet the athletic department is the same old hinky-dink mom and pop bullshite.

Outside influences. Auburn is always gonna be up and down. Always has been. Pat Dye was about as stable a regime as they ever had but they didn't win national titles. Tuberville caught a humungous break when just as he was starting his Auburn tenure Bama was handed the sanctions and he would get every player in the state. there was one season where two receivers named like Obamanu and Aramoshodu and Auburn got BOTH and they both said they don't want to play on a team with a two year bowl ban and 21 scholarships taken away. After Bama got back on its feet he went down 36-0 and left town.
Auburn has produced some of the most successful alums in the state. That's not always a good thing when it comes to football.
You also had the Kirby Smart factor. Auburn, for years killed it in recruiting Georgia. Not UGA cast offs but Georgias top players. Kirby has shut that down and Saban is only 100 miles away, that spells trouble.

By back I mean a competitive football team again that is likely to be an 8-10 win team. I’m not saying we are all a sudden 1990s Tennessee again. Outside of Georgia or Alabama we can compete
