I think it’s very clear he is doing it his way regardless of what anyone thinks. It is what it is. He had to address the elephant . Now let’s see what he does this fall. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably lost the opportunity to rebuild or foster any cooperation. I'm sure he had fun while I'm the podium, but if he doesn't fix out busted ass recruiting class or exceed expectations on the field, his opposition will get the last laugh in about 6 months. And he will get a fat check, anyway he was in a must win scenario this season regardless of what he said in this press conference.

Agreed, but he's been in a live or die year since February. Today didn't change that. Everyone's assumed that since February they have just been riding it out until December to make their move... unless he wins 8 games, which many do not expect him to do with the roster issues. It's gotten to the point that anonymous coaches in that annual article said that it would be one of the most miraculous jobs in the history of the game if he does enough to survive. One coach said it would be the ultimate baptism by fire 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if he went 0-12, it’d still be a zinger lol I’m someone who has consumed scandalous things about Harsin’s family members willingly and often, but I do not know how “my superiors allowed, and perhaps actively pushed, lies to fester to the point where it was used as a foundation to call my entire ability to lead into question” has any correlation with whether or not the guy’s worthwhile in coaching He could be a horrible coach AND the Boosters should be ashamed of themselves for allowing nonsense to be the rallying cry to open up that investigation.

Dual-Threat Rigby 9,156 Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Even with the nonsense being very quickly dismissed, it was clear that enough someones thought that it could be the Step 1 to getting a movement against Harsin. It’s not exactly a secret there were players who didn’t like Harsin before, during and after the season, but that notion as proven by the mass attrition before he came, as well as the coaching departures, were not sexy enough in a vacuum to lead a real rebellion against the guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you didn't believe this was a do or die year after the fiasco that he went through last year , you are (maybe literally) the only person I know that didn't. I have XM radio. People in freaking Iowa think he has to win this year after all that! They also don't have a problem understanding why AU can't recruit for the same reason. What happened was the football equivalent of Seppuku. No offense meant at all, and I was all in on BH even after the bowl game , but I thought he had to go after it became clear everyone that matters money wise wanted him gone. And let the whole world know it . 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post NoALtiger 4,068 Posted July 21, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 21, 2022 I thought it was a killer response myself. I mean, there were stories out there that could have ended this man’s marriage- I think he’s taken a thoughtful and measured approach while letting everyone read between the lines on how he feels. I’ve not been a huge fan of his tenure up to this point but I’ve got to give him a heck of a lot of credit for his approach. I’m pulling for him 100% I’ll tell you that. 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extends a hand to the money people and they don’t extend it back, because they never wanted him here anyway. Regardless they were not going to overlook a poor year at all. He has not been perfect but neither has Auburn. All he can count on now is winning and based on his presser today, he knows that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUx 3,238 Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 At media days: He speaks like a head coach. Sounds tough and projects tough. But so do little dogs. He checks all the boxes except for recruiting and winning in P5. How long? A+ for not rolling over and playing victim to a tough situation last winter, and not besmirching Bobo, Mason, or Williams. A+ for complimenting AU as the great place it is. Sounded like he likes Ike. Missed opportunities to spread the love around to other position coaches (or are they on the outside?). Seemed he was uncomfortable talking Pearl (misphrased witticisms). “Just watch” is rather weak. He’s under a microscope after all, and off-season activity (recruiting) isn’t blowing anybody away. Might should have spent more time with PR staff, if he feels he can trust them. Certainly could have done worse. But sparse accomplishments discount the bravado. Season can’t come soon enough. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
