Considering:

* The staff spent the first half of the year forging new relationships under COVID restrictions,

* That portal transfers don't count towards the standings and we could very well get some immediate impact players there, and

* 2023 looks REALLY strong...

Yeah, its fine.  You want to complain?  Watch where Florida ends up this year.  Some of y'all think a program is built in a day.  It's not.  Harsin & team are apparently taking a long term approach and building this thing brick by brick.  Something we've desperately needed instead of just slapping band aids on all the time.

Remember who you're talking to.

Try following my predictions. You’ll start making money instead of flushing it down the shichter. 

Sure thing Nostradamus, I'll get right on that.

Are right more than not. 

Throw enough feces at a wall and something will eventually stick.

I said UCF bound. How is that any different than a 247 Crystal Ball prediction? Answer: It’s not. 

Well, 247 CB at least has some credibility. You, on the other hand....

Little early to be adding Kelly and Napier to that list isn't it? Neither has seen the crucible of big time conference recruiting and weekly play as a HC, unless I'm missing something

No reason to do that. I'll scroll back. Just glad we're doing what it takes. Everyone else is doing it

Much appreciated. I can now continue to sip my delicious bourbon beverage without worry

Oh wow this is another back channel? I love it. That is the way to go. Don't put yourself at the mercy of the portal

Bird literally said it in this thread somewhere. I'm now on my 2nd Old Fashioned, please don't make me scroll back

Until or unless a serious upgrade is made to the OL I don't think it matters much who Auburn gets as OC. Just my opinion.

Valid point. It still wouldn't be Quasimodo though lol

I know plenty of us can be overly snarky on message boards but can someone educate me on reasonably realistic options? I am admittedly ignorant of OCs.  The one thing I know is that Quasimodo is not a legit option, nor should he be.

I learned that lesson years ago. It's OK to not know something. Lol. 

My typical work response in that situation is, "Let me get back to you on that."

And back to our departures, I wish them well and hope they all find what they're seeking.

Could you give us a hint like current conference or something of that nature so we can narrow down our wild speculation?

He said earlier that he can't comment any further until/unless the young man formally enters the portal

But, but, but, he says the right things and recruiting’s gonna pick up any day now. Look at all the commits we got since the Iron Bowl?

Isn't there a bridge you should be living under or, I guess, since we're in the Christmas season now...beating misbehaved children with birch rods

Educate me.

It's. Viper.

Are you seriously asking for a rational and reasoned response?

We may have been a top 15 program, but with the way our 2nd Halves have collapsed, our 4-game losing streak and the way recruiting has gone, Harsin is quickly putting this program in reverse.

Tennessee has a player, tcu has there top running back, Ohio state has a , ucf qb and Oklahoma qb to name a few. I am not specifically talking about Auburn 

Welcome to CFB post transfer portal and rule changes. It is what it is.

Seems like a reasonable stance for a guy that will be graduating soon. Why not explore the options available to you to best set you up for your desired career?

Can someone clue me in on why people keep bringing up Dell McGee, other than he played at Auburn in the 90s?

True, impossible to know either way, but you should lean that we didn’t pay him based on the fact presented. I’m naturally conspiratorial 

Money aside, we did have a murders row of stud recruiters on that offensive side. Damn shame that staff didn’t work out

Agreed, that's it's impossible to know for sure but I think that's one case where we were clean. As a program? Yeah...no program is "clean", just varying degrees of dirty.

Just now, Dual-Threat Rigby said:

I think our pitch relied on just money but I’d put my entire account on that we paid Cam something. All those type guys get paid something 

 

but yeah, Auburn > MSU in general obv 

Unless our bagmen got REALLY good at covering their tracks, I think that's one time we're obviously clean. The NCAA basically setup a satellite office in Auburn that year.

Isn't it better to keep the lead paint eaters in one place?

Mullen is toxic.

 

Thanks for not taking offense. I assumed you didn't write that article/list

Honestly, anyone that thinks Mullen is or will be a serious candidate is smoking ditch weed.

In defense if you go to the recruiting forum lots of talented guys from other schools announced today they are entering the portal

That's just life in CFB after the portal rules
