AUwent 3,833 Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 (edited) I just don't get it. Every other damn program in the SEC west has a good coach. What is it with our boosters in particular that we ended up with Harsin and will likely end up with Lashlee next.

We don't know his calling cards either. We know Lashlees. Don't understand the hatred or dislike 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's extremely important...my stance currently is give him another year and if recruiting is looking up, give him a third one. I currently have very little faith in this staff's ability to recruit, though (the Rivals fancast and/or 247 CB for most of the guest list tomorrow points elsewhere). And if we need to move on, with the way that coaching search went (especially if we have to watch the guy we either wouldn't give what he wanted or turned us down take the job at Florida), I'm just not sure our boosters can get someone of the caliber that the rest of the division seems capable of getting.

Mikey 16,781 Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Lashlee's offense has looked pretty good at Miami. Hope he's a big success at SMU. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably top 15 if we get the guys we expect. Is that not acceptable ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if that would take us up 13 spots or who else we would need. Edited November 27, 2021 by AUwent 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaotic_zx 1,070 Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 If Auburn finishes top 15, this will be my reaction: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaotic_zx 1,070 Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 BTW, I wish Lashlee nothing but the best of luck at SMU. I also wish he not become Auburn's head coach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious though, who do you see us getting @Randman5000? If you can say? Edited November 27, 2021 by AUwent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no available coach out there who looks like a better choice than Harsin. It's a crap-shoot at best. I think our best bet is to give Harsin time to get the kinks worked out of the program. People talking out one side of their mouths about Gus leaving us in a shambles and then wanting Harsin fired because he isn't an instant winner need to pick their poison and stick with it. You can't have it both ways. If the program was left in a mess, then Harsin deserves time. If it wasn't left in a mess, then stop with the mindless Gus bashing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's just all about recruiting for me. The finish to this season wouldn't phase me much if we were showing recruiting prowess. I will say, it is possible Kiffin ends up like Chizik and Orgeron (with Corral being his respective Newton and Burrow) if THEIR recruiting doesn't improve.

ThurstontheWelshCorgi 576 Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 I obviously do not know Lashlee but I get the sense that he a really good person and is obviously steeped in immense coordinator knowledge but I don't think he is going to be anything particularly special as a head coach. Good for him tho.. That's going to be a tough job at smu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're less than a year into what everybody knew would be a world class rebuild. Even with all of Malzahn's top tens, his program NEVER developed players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they did Greene wouldn't be the AD and Harsin wouldn't be the head coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've held out hope that because we were able to close relatively strong last year we can do so this year.
