Does Harsin go after Lake

[aubaseball 2,714]

With Jimmy Lake being fired at Washington, does Harsin put in a call for him to come down to Auburn?   

[augolf1716 21,564]

Nope to much baggage at the moment

[fredst 9,064]

The reasons he was let go at UW would make it really difficult to hire him

[Eisenhower_1952 87]

He should go after Manny Diaz if gets the ax. Ed O would be a shot in the arm as Defensive coordinator.

Might be worth a shot. This team could use an injection of fresh ideas. Sorry, I'm just needling ya'll. 

[au302 2,669]

I'd imagine he at least gets a phone call. More than likely, either Mason stays or Schmedding gets the promotion. However, I'm not sure if I buy the too much baggage argument. DJ Durkin is at Ole Miss as DC

I will literally stop supporting Auburn if we hire this guy

Wait, did you do that on purpose?

[japantiger 4,068]

How about not hiring fired head coaches as assistants who really have one foot out the door looking for their next HC job;  and get up and coming assistant talent that is hungry and wants to prove themselves.

See UGA's 35 y/o elite recruiter and elite defensive mind as their DC

Did we fire Mason?

AUFamily has chosen to part ways with Mason. We wish him the best in his future endeavors.

Yeah I want someone trying to make a name for themselves. Coordinators are trying to get HC gigs. If they work their ass off to get there it only helps us. CFB’s version of the invisible hand, if you will.

Whatever the case, Bert Watts is a good coach but shouldn't be coaching special teams. There's so many mistakes over the year... he needs to be focused on defense, or maybe hes too focused on defense. Give that job to someone else

Agreed. He is qualified and is a good coach. Heck, the whole Potato gang is pretty good imo. But yes, we need to bring in someone who can focus more on ST. Something has to change there in the leadership of that unit

If you’re gonna hire him, you might as well hire Freeze and/or Art too 

They actually probably wouldn’t be as bad, with recency bias in play

So, you want to fire Mason, who has done a decent job, and hire somebody with zero coordinator experience? 

 

Thats a no from me, dawg

This is the way.

Unless you're Saban, whose specialty is rehab of former HC's.

[Mikey 16,781]

If we should decide to do something with the DC position, Muschamp is wandering the sidelines at UGA as an analyst. He can coach and recruit. Why not go first class?

It's wild to me that someone who had sex with consenting adults is in the same realm of Briles and O

[AuCivilEng1 11,115]

Man we think recruiting is bad right now, let Harsin promote Schmeding and Keesau to coordinators in the SEC.

Well it’s also the poorly ran “cheating” and contacting the escorts on company technology. Also doing all that as this quintessential down to earth family man SALESMAN (ala Dabo or Coach O before the divorce) He was just the epitome of rookie and amateur, and once the veil is lost on those types..it’s hard to recover rep wise 

he also just hasn’t been good enough to try to soften the situation and get him back in the P5 game

It’s wayyy too many programs recruiting at (an least) better level than us, while also being incredibly sorry, that I just don’t think we should be okay with hiring “developers” that’ll be playing with bottom of the barrel toys. There could be an endgame where winning while overachieving starts convincing studs…but that long game just doesn’t exist anymore
