The assumption that he won't be successful recruiting to at least as high a standard as Gus did at Auburn is exactly that...an assumption with no basis in fact whatsoever.

Do you not think Will Friend/Derrick Mason/Carnell Williams/Mike Bobo know the ropes of recruiting the SEC?


Me? Maybe you misread my post. I said it was a mistake to assume that staff won't recruit at least as successfully as Malzahn.

did the guy recruit for and coach at Auburn last year?

No, Einstein, he coached and recruited at Boise State

66 Boise State



If you had done any research at all......you would find out that's higher than Petersen recruited at Boise St.. Harsin signed the highest recruiting classes in the history of Boise St.. If he can out-recruit Petersen, what do you think he will do at Auburn?

Not much. 8-4 seasons at best. He's a mediocre hire. He will lose to Saban each and every year. He'll be fired after 4-5 lackluster seasons.

Based on the fact he's been the head coach at the ONLY competitive program in the Mountain West. Peterson built that program into what it is today.

The SEC, as you well know, ain't the Mountain West. He ain't at the ONLY competitive school in the conference. He's immediately behind Bama, Georgia, LSU, off the top.

The extremely poor recruiting class you guys are about to sign next Wednesday will set the program back for 2-3 years. Harsin just isn't a splash hire, like it or not. Mediocrity will be the norm on the Plains during his tenure.

He should do alright at Auburn and he won't be fired that soon. Auburn has to give him time to get top studs on the oline in there because Gus screwed the pooch for years in that area. IF Mason changes up the defense from what Steele ran then he's going to need to get different defensive players on the roster. Nix needs serious coaching which Bobo should provide, so probably improvement there if Nix can get the new language & schemes down and accept the coaching.

Hell, your schedule is favorable next year with 2 cupcakes before PennSt and if LSU still sucks you could get your first win down there in 2 decades.

San Jose St., Fresno St., Air Force, San Diego St., and Utah St. have all been competitive. Not to mention all the PAC 12 schools he’s beaten. Petersen has been gone for 7 years, and Harsin was his OC when he put Boise on the map.

Why is that? How could you possibly even know that?

So you're tell us fans that Auburn will all of a suddenly will beat Alabama? Alabama with a much better of a HC and coaching staff, Much better players and depth, and Auburn HC have not beaten a top 10 team from a power of 5. Did you think this HC was a great hired? He might get the offense to play a little better than Gus but to beat Nick Saban? Auburn is going to be rebuilding since Harsin haven't coached a team in the SEC and beat any top team in the SEC. This might take a couple of years to get his players and experience before he may start being competition. Missouri is in the same boat. Drinkwitz cannot depends on his coaching to get it done every year. He will need better talents to compete for the east division. I say 2 more years. So far I am liking what Drinkwitz is doing so far. Barry Odom couldn't get it don with coaching and recruiting better talents. Harsin is an unknown due to lack of recruiting in the SEC and getting better talents at BSU. Will Auburn have the assistants to do that for him? That might take a couple of years to see if it will work or not.

Gus was a very lazy recruiter and the worst scout in America. Dude literally says "Auburn recruits itself" so he gave little effort.
