Not sure paying him $10 million a year would go over well with everyone. 😅 was mario not just starting out? i do not know i am asking. but he is a lights out recruiter and we would probably end up with the best o line in the country or at least top ten. with our running backs and a little help from the portal he could be lights out. but did we not turn him down once? for the record i am not through with harsin right now.

Cristobal was my top pick to replace Gus. Excellent recruiter, from South Florida, Saban disciple, former lineman, etc. Ahhh I miss last December. Posting here everyday that I wanted Cristobal or Luke Fickell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Taggert left for FSU, Cristobal was the OL coach and took over as interim for the bowl game in 2017 but was made the permanent head coach. His first full season was 2018. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if he had been hired in todays message board /social media world, many would’ve questioned bringing in an East Carolina/Wyoming coach. 😅 Don't be shocked when I tell you that the take by AU fans on Coach Dye in that era was NOT unanimous. My AU grad father and some of his college buds hated UGA worse than uat. And Coach played at UGA, which meant they tolerated him at best.

No, he wasn't just starting out. Cristoal is currently in his 11th year as a head coach. Overall record is 61-58. He's done better at Oregon, where he's 34-11. Obviously, before Oregon he had a losing record and had been fired at Florida International for a poor win/loss performance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALL the expert recruiting analysts on this forum would have had a coronary after ' Country Boy Won't Survive Recruiting Like This ' . It was by Van Hoose , I believe. I miss those days.

I also spent many days in the stands listening to others (and a lot of time myself) complaining how many more games and championships we would win If he passed more and wasn’t so conservative on offense. History changes our perspective on many things. That said, Coach Dye rebuilt AU and bringing the Iron Bowl to AU changed that rivalry forever! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believed that an outsider was needed. The problem I see is that everyone is not a believer in the hire. For Auburn to get to level of consistency that Georgia and Alabama are at, it’s going to take everyone to be fired up about the coach. It’s difficult to get fired up anymore about Harsin after the results of our last two games. May be he will show us he is a real coach in the last three games. That is my hope, but I am not overly optimistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah. A quick Google search shows he is being discussed as a candidate by WU folks. I don't know how serious of a candidate he is to the WU brass, but I would guess he is somewhere on their radar. Chris Petersen (Harsin's coaching mentor) is helping with the search. You know Petersen has Harsin somewhere on his board. (Also, Petersen himself is a top target of LSU. Petersen and LSU's AD have worked together before which has to make Petersen a major candidate). That all said, I don't think he'd leave. Why leave the SEC for the PAC-12 in 2021? I would much prefer to be a coach at one of the big-6 SEC schools. I could see Hars leaving for USCw, but I doubt he's a candidate there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason why I say this is based on the vibes I am getting from my frat brothers who are up there. No one is even discussing him for that matter. It’s really Dave Aranda, Matt Campbell and the BYU coach that is hitting the rumor mill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
