Hay Field 101 669 Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 I just don't know what in the hell to think right now. I do know that I just cant jump on the knee jerk fire him squad. That's just not me. Auburn means more to me than winning the watercooler talk on Monday morning. I am not the one who can sit back a hope for the demise of another man that has never done a thing to me. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only hope it's not like the one that brought back Malzahn. Man, what a let down that was. You were let down when Malzahn's first team won the SEC championship and nearly won the national championship? You have some might high expectations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the QB is also a transfer from Nebraska, so this was a redeeming win for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our subliminal messaging campaign has worked perfectly! Curious as to what the appeal is with Grimes. I know he was an assistant here b4. But he hasn't ever been a head coach.. And I know some assistants have made it as head coaches but some have bombed out too. He is from TX I believe??? How do we know how he would do here?

There is an ancient Chinese curse: "May you live in interesting times". If you want to take a flyer on someone, give me Dell McGee. He's proven as a recruiter in the SEC and has earned his spurs in big-boy coaching. Put Dell's resume next to Sanders's and Dell wins the job, hands down. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel as though Dell McGee would be a Lovie Smith 2.0. the thing that would be good w Dell is his recruiting accumen for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BINGO if Harsin had us in the top 10 in recruiting both classes, I would be for him staying. Saban lost to Louisiana Monroe his first season, but he was buying…errrrrrrr…recruiting talent left & right. Said it a dozen times…Harsin has no clout. Can’t get adequate assistants at every position. The ones we have are alum. No high school connections in the SE. No pull in the portal either. That equals no hope. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K State is historically much stronger than a Mississippi State and most teams know that any given year they could easily lose to k state. ???? When was the last time KSU was ranked #1? Or even top 15? MSU is >.500 all time in the SEC, KSU is well under .500 all time in much weaker conferences. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk about rankings and don't particularly pay a lot of attention to that aspect but fwiw k-state literally went to Starkville in 2019 and beat the bulldogs. For me, I've always perceived k-state as a formidable foe and only recently has Mississippi State begun to be on the upswing w mullen and later Leach.

Some won’t. Maybe MOST won’t. Point is a lot of other teams are dealing with coaching duds, too. It wasn’t a terrible idea to try Harsin because there’s really no such thing as a sure-fire coaching candidate. All that said, I’m ready for a new coach. Hopefully, we get it right this time. Add Lame and Burner, none of these guys.. all dime a dozen. If down the road, changes come the plains, by damns make it worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not hoping for his demise but the product he is putting out shows that it’s time to move on. It’s the same thing as if I hired an associate attorney with 6 years of experience and after a year at the firm he has lost 3-4 cases at trial and then yesterday he had a slam dunk case dismissed with prejudice for failing to state a recoverable claim and not amending his petition. I don’t care how great of a person you are. If you are screwing up in a big way repeatedly and then you screw up a sure thing because of your incompetence, you get fired.
