Folks gonna be disappointed if they think Harsin will be fired next year. Short of a NCAA scandal. He has got at least 2 more years. Losing Davis is bad PR, but he was gonna have limited input on game days 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if not, Auburn ppl really need to reset their expectations vs expecting elite coaches wanting to crawl to us and take pennies. We rejected Napier, possibly Kirby b/c "demands". We know how one turned out. Napier was the hottest coach on the market this year after we "laughed" at paying him 1mm more than Harsin. The "discussion" with Kirby involved some issues on both sides.

I highly doubt the BoT has the wherewithal to try a similar process for a while, even though I HIGHLY doubt a Kevin Steele or a Bill Clark is changing Auburn’s downward trajectory, which still holds whether it was 6 wins or 8-9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we can find someone regional who knows how to play the game. Or a coordinator from an elite P5 school. I don't even know who those guys would be next year. Hopefully Bry can pull some scientology magic out of his ass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't a place where coaches get canned on a whim, Auburn coaches are paid well and they stay a long while. Less than 10 yrs ago, a HC won a legit National Championship (not a phony 1941 AP popularity contest) at Auburn and was canned two yrs later. TWO yrs. Not given a 3rd yr to make it right. No scandal. No sanctions. ALL well prior to NIL, the transfer portal, HCs fired after 1-2 yrs and HCs jumping from perennial 11-win programs to those who aren’t. But consecutive losing seasons gets him another shot. Edited February 1, 2022 by Viper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But virtually all those guys are right where they were last time, and outside of Mario or Napier, I doubt they won’t be receiving a call if changes were made… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADAG will not be making that decision. Unless he really changes some minds with the CBP contract, he's done when Harsin is, probably months before Harsin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree to an extent but there were definitely scandals. A lot, actually. The 4 player armed robbery. A player was shot and killed. Chizik had the infamous security firm brought in. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shabby 2,060 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Harsin will be on the hot seat. if there is Another losing season and no significant progress with patching up the offensive line there will be serious consideration of moving on. Just my opinion of course but I really think after another season it will be about trajectory. If the trajectory is moving downwards I wouldn't expect a 3rd year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abw0004 10,332 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 I did a quick tally, and since August we have had 20 transfer away from our program, and 36 total since Harsin took over. For comparison, South Carolina has lost 11 since August and 23 since Shane Beamer took over. Tennessee has lost 14 since August and a total 31 since Josh Heupel took over. Florida has lost 9 since August. Take it for what this is worth. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate it too, but things aren't trending in the right direction. But, if he wins this year and gets some momentum, a lot of this will fall to the wayside. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
