Look at winning percentage of Ole Miss last 3 coaches. Surprising numbers to me. Very little difference between Freeze and Kiffin.

Tigerpro2a 5,650 Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 I have been one of the few that was in Harsin Camp. I did think they should have fired him in February because they crippled his already suspect recruiting... but I really thought we had more with this team. I knew we had qb issues. I knew we had ol issues. what the hell happened to the defense?. I think I'm done on Harsin. I should have known when I had to Google his resume when hired that the excitement I got was from o end b glasses. maybe I'll feel different when the alcohol wears off 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the PTB truly wants McGlynn, I don't like it--McKenna, Riggins or Campbell please--but it would still be preferable to making a search with an interim AD.

He would immediately take us away from "immaterial." Maybe so, but most likely right into a continued clown look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAG 34,939 Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 (edited) Low key I would make Urban Meyer the highest paid coach first. If he says no then get freeze. Iono about any of these other people. I feel like we need guys who have shown they had success at this level first. This is going to be a major rebuild.

The guy couldn’t even be bothered to travel to Central High to talk to recruits until he was almost canned. He has done nothing but make his job harder since he was hired by being a complete d*ck to the PTB. His coaching staff is a who’s who of Boise lackeys and guys nobody else would take, outside of Caddy and Ethridge. I’m not saying the guy was a saint or he didn’t do anything to push things along. However, you bring a man’s family into it and you have a disdain for him before he ever steps off the plane? At some point we have to look in the mirror and go “how can we fix ourselves.” He could’ve played ball better but the only top tier coach I can think of that hasn’t gotten on the bad side of the proverbial “PTB” at their respective school is Dabo. I 100% agree with the Boise lackeys but did we really think Bobo was his choice and a good one? Personal belief is that it was a lack of both sides willing to play ball and that’s probably what made us lose out on better coaches. I think we can right the ship so to speak but it’s going to take a huge group effort from the PTB to get a guy they like, who is good, and let him run the program. Harsin, I think we both agree, is done for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUght2win 7,079 Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 21 minutes ago, cbo said: I generally agree with your hiring criteria, but Deion might be the exception to the rule. He's just different than what we've seen before. Maybe he'd be an overcorrection, but we need someone who can recruit. No doubt Deion could do that. Worst case scenario, he doesn't work out as a coach and the next guy inherits a great roster. I wouldn’t hate the hire for its recruiting potential. But just following Deion as a person - it will be hard for him to go to a big brand school. The way I see it, Deion is going to have trouble accepting being smaller than the program he coaches for. He just will. Dude is a superstar and has always been an icon. From the time he was at FSU, to the NFL, to now at JSU, people have bought tickets to see him. He was larger than life. And he feeds into that - one of the greatest sports entertainment figures of all time. Can a guy like that run a major program where he’s going to have to delegate a lot, face a lot of media scrutiny, and pay the respects that Harsin didn’t? I honestly don’t know. But the blowup over a reporter not calling him “Coach Sanders” last year doesn’t instill confidence that Deion has the necessary amount of humility to coach in the SEC. And hey, on the other hand, maybe that’s EXACTLY what Auburn does need. A guy who runs the show his way and tells everybody to kiss his ass. But we’ve seen how that can go wrong with CBH. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrysalis99 80 Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Would Harsin go out in a blaze trying to burn down as much as possible? He probably has some legitimate fuel but Id hope the buyout would soften his fall and calm his ego. Don’t know much about the guy though. Not sure if he’d do something like that but I guess it’s possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe his name brings in recruits, but what makes anybody think he can coach? I have nothing against him, but I just don’t think he is a coach that would work in a big conference. But maybe everybody but me is a believer. At this point, I can concede that almost anyone would be better than our current staff. AU is great at hiring the wrong people and spending the money to get rid of them. Nobody does that better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
