slyinsocal 831 Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 47 minutes ago, Mikey said: He turned over a 6-4 team, that's 6-4 against an all-SEC schedule. A team that had all the key ingredients returning. Gus turned over an experienced team that lost the fewest to graduation and transfer that we've ever lost. He turned over a team that had never had a losing record. The best we could do this year is 3-6 against our major competition. There is doubt as to weather you know football or not, but it's clear that you can't do elementary school arithmetic. WRs? DLine? Depth? A healthy 3 year starting QB to finish the season with? A backup, battle tested QB already on the roster, ready to go? You mean those key ingredients? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no basis for this probability. There is solid basis for this probability. Look at the teams I posted above. The norm is to go through 3,4, or more coaches before a school hits on a keeper. We've been lucky. Even Chizik, who crashed and burned in year four, won a national championship in his second year. Sooner or later our luck will run out and we'll be on the Tennessee treadmill. Harsin's record at BSU won't buy him much time at AU. He'll have to come up with some good wins by the end of year three if he wants to stay longer.

Therefore, we can't complain when the Cristobals, Kellys, Meyers, and Bob Stoops of the world don't have the courage to take on that challenge. The one guy who was semi available, clearly is not an elite coach, and obviously prefers the easier path at an Oregon or a Miami. Knowing all that, there is no choice, no alternative. Why not give Harsin 10,000% of your support and encourage his success, through thick AND thin? I would HOPE that we appreciate the one guy, with the winning pedigree, and the guts to accept this challenge. Either you're all in, or not. If you want flash and dash and instant success, pull for uat or thuga. I never expected us to land the "Kellys, Meyers, and Bob Stoops of the world." I don't believe we need them to succeed. I do expect us to land someone like Kiffin or Napier. Which leads us to the debate over where Harsin falls, and why I'm so conflicted, since obviously we have a really good defensive class--so maybe he is the level I wanted. But then I look at the offense, and I see where Viper's argument might hold water. Also, the scheduling is why I think we need to start thinking more about how the SEC looks after the realignment. On 12/22/2021 at 9:22 PM, Viper said: He might have been a great hire for us in 1999 or maybe 2009, but the SEC is too loaded now. So what would you count as a good hire in a couple years if your prediction is true? I think Dell would be worth a shot because of his clout in the south and because another former Georgia position coach/assistant head coach has done really well so far with just as brutal a schedule as us. But obviously, I'd prefer for Red to be correct, and credit is still deserved for currently ranking 13th.

You do realize you're talking about Auburn fans right. I've seen it all from both AU & bama fan bases. I remember overhearing a conversation between Fred Sington and some others about how they needed to get rid of the bear. This was in 1975 or so before he turned it around. Also some AU folks wanted to get rid of Dye after a few losses to bama and in particularly to Texas when we were ranked so high. Fans are very fickle and 99.9% of the time don't know diddly about what they are talking about. (And I count myself among this group). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is a realistic expectation for 2022? 2023? How long before it becomes realistic to expect to lose fewer than 5 games a year? We fired the previous coach for losing 4 to 5 a year. So how long before Harsin scales the heights and has a 9-3 regular season? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
