Solid post. Very, very true.

quote:Bryan Harsin.
Who was the AU coach that benched Bo Nix for TJ Finley?
quote:This.
Jacobs delivered actual championships.
People can try to discredit him however and why ever they want, but Auburn won in football, baseball, basketball and softball under him. We WERE an everything school. Now we’re arguably just a baseball school with every other sport being bad to terrible.
He wouldn’t have lasted much longer as a HC, regardless. He resigned from being the HC at UCF and only lasted 1 year as the OC of Florida State.
It’s obvious he was ready to relax and enjoy time with family.
In hindsight, it looks bad to have fired him. But in his time, he had 3 good seasons — 2013, 2017 and 2019. Some of his most loaded rosters (2014, 2015) severely underwhelmed. 2018 wasn’t good and neither was 2020. Was it better than what we’ve had 2021-present? Yes, but a lot of his seasons were mediocre at best. Auburn was trying to do better than that, but they’ve clearly made bad hires in the attempt.

quote:I would say Auburn did an outstanding job during that time. Everyone involved did a great job. How that team was held together amongst all that scrutiny from EVERYONE is amazing. AND they couldn’t lose.
However, look at the PR nightmare that was the Cam Newton saga.

What?
quote:Then we’ll be looking for a new coach soon.
From what I have heard we will Portal a QB but don't expect to spend 3-4 mill on one.
The staff does think Tia can play but want to bring one in regardless. Would like someone who has 2 years at least.
This is the same mistake Hugh Freeze made. Had a chance to get Cam Ward for $1m and decided to run it back with Payton Thorne.
Tia isn’t the answer, and if you think the solution is rolling with him and bringing in someone for “competition” then good riddance.
I’ll tell you who won’t be there — me.

What a win by Denver.
They’ve now taken 4 of the last 5 from the Chiefs.

They didn’t have to offer more money in this case. He was told to “look around.” Hope we have a plan to replace him.

Goodman at AL.com says we should go all in on the Moo St QB.
quote:They have both been dogshit.
Do you think the O-linemen and the DBs we brought in have been good? I don’t but I admittedly don’t know squat about football.
Let players like Jay Crawford and Kayin Lee transfer and bring in cheap players and this is what you get.

Him being off the team is not the reason we suck on D

So far Cohen has made 2 panic hires for football.
Ohio State should be out of the playoffs. They can’t win with the backup QB.
Neither am I.

A bowl game and a winning record isn’t enough for you?
Samford is a given, sure, but this team is bipolar as frick and has given up 38 and 45 in back to back games since Xavier Atkins was kicked off.
The offense has no identity, play calling is sporadic and the offensive line lacks any kind of talent. The defensive line isn’t SEC caliber and the secondary gets cooked like the secondary did in 2010, 2012 and 2014.
We also appear to lack quality coaching and the team isn’t getting better like they should. If anything, they’re getting worse.

I got nothing else. This makes me feel better.

With Xavier’s dismissal, there is not an SEC caliber player on the field for Auburn.
Damn. I guess that takes the win away from Auburn. So unfortunate.
