This is what we dealt with this season. The only word to describe what Coach Harsin doing is chemo." Cancer dies hard and takes time. To quote Tony Fair completely, his last sentence was: “Those cancers will be gone”. This seems to be a fight between Harsin’s old school demeanor and Gus’ left over recruits that aren’t happy to comply with their new reality. If this is what one of the issues is and if Auburn caves to this type of dissension, it will be hard for Auburn to get a qualified coach to come in if your student athletes perceived they have that much power over the way a coach can coach. This is an issue that has to be addressed before moving on to another coach if that is what happens. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comparing what Harsin has to do and what kills people daily isn’t a great comparison IMO. I would think some of the players aren’t the right fit.

AuCivilEng1 12,293 Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 I refuse to believe that Kobe Hudson and JJ were “cancers”. Harsin seems like the type that wouldn’t play a cancer and Kobe played as much as anyone. What it sounds like is that a lot of these guys are getting thrown under the bus so there is an excuse for the teams poor performance at the end of the season. When what it ultimately boils down to is Bo Nix went down and Harsin/Bobo didn’t have anyone ready to take his spot. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look I know the hesitancy and we already have a mess and it doesn't look good hiring a "messy" coach. However, he would address a TON of issues with our football program. He took our former QB who many thought wasn't good just b/c he didn't get any playing time and made him a top NFL draft prospect. I don't want to see Harsin fired, but if we do...the only coach i want at this point is Hugh. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the point that even tight lipped Harsin publicly said he told him to check it. Agree with the rest of what you said though. He and other players should do what's best for them. From the outside - not even knowing what was said - it can be hard to distinguish "passing blame" from leadership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for firing - good for him. At some point he has to decide for himself the circumstances in which he is willing to stay. In fact, that could be the genesis of the current effort to sabotage him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
