kennypowers 1,431 Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Other than tank and shenk... all Harsin's guys that signed, freshman mostly, beat an SEC team. Defensive side the vets gave them what they needed. All new guys touching the ball and getting the W. Bright side? I think he's the right coach. I just don't think he'll get the time to show it. 3 1 3 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should check the game stats before posting such as this. If you think scoring 14 points in regulation against one of the two weakest teams in the conference is a good showing you have strange thoughts. All new guys touching the ball and getting the win? That's simply not true. As soon as Mizzou loaded the box and stopped Tank's running, Auburn stopped scoring. Scoreless the entire second half.

e808 3,091 Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 (edited) Maybe I am reading this wrong but without Tank and Anders points Auburn lose the game. Also u can’t dismiss the vets on the defensive side their contributions are just as important as the offense. Not sure where this topic is going. I guess u are saying once the rest of the vets are gone this team will be better in 2023 with solely CBH guys.

AU9377 6,033 Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Harsin didn't deserve to win that urine drenched game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milehighfan 1,251 Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Auburn will have a very hard time scoring points this year because the OL is soooo bad. If you think the current OL is bad just wait until next year when this bunch that couldn't push me out of the way is gone. Hopefully, we'll have recruited some new beef that can do more than just take up space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roe4christ 979 Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Only way to rebuild the OL quickly is through the transfer portal and JUCO. Hopefully we pull the trigger on Harsin by the bye week. Would be nice if we have an AD in place by then also. I think we need to hire the next coach by Iron Bowl week and pray that we do not lose any of our current recruits before the early December signing period. The only silver lining with having such a low number of recruits committed to this point, is that the new coach can fill the remainder with his guys. We are going to have to lean heavily on the transfer portal this time and hope for the best. First year with new coach (whomever it is), we'll have to temper expectations given the mess of a roster he is inheriting. We'll survive this but it is going to take us two or three seasons to climb out of this hole. As long as we see an improvement each year (product on the field and a continual increase in wins each season), I'll be happy. I want to be excited about watching Auburn football again.

Popular Post bigbird 60,939 Posted September 26, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 26, 2022 The freshman receivers and transfer DBs looked to be on a different level compared to their previously established counterparts. I would insert Langlo, Smith, and Harris into the OL. This year is gonna be rough. If we don't get those three serious PT, then we will be hurting even more than we think next year. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every coach worries about next year. Life as a coach is so transient. You don't often get to put down roots or make friends outside of the coaching fraternity. It's hard to explain the life unless you've lived it, that's not elitist, just impossible to describe the unsteadiness you're always working with. You're rented by the town or Districts so you're routinely ready to be turned on and get out. That doesn't mean we don't truly care for the players, feel guilt when we let them down, or hurt when we have had to leave them abruptly. It's is, and should always be, about the boys. We continue to care even after we've leave and want nothing but their success. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he don't care is a bit harsh...But, I don't honestly think he is thinking about his future at AU.... cause he ain't got one. If u think he does have a future here, then that's a different conversation 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If u think he does have a future here, then that's a different conversation Oh I'm sure he is very well aware of where he stands. I'm just saying, even when coaches know they won't be retained, their priority is most always the players and if they will be taken care. Some love the personal accolades and glory, but most "good" coaches want nothing but the greatest successes for their guys. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point I was trying to make, that u called foolish, was he didn't care about next season or wasn't thinking long term at AU to put another way.

First play was a backwards incomplete pass. Then I think we proceeded to go 3 and out. Seemed to settle down somewhat until Ashford came back in, but he wasn’t ready (Holden).

maryland tiger 640 Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 You people do realize that Robby is a redshirt freshman with no previous starting experience??? He will get better and he is a real "Dog". Hopefully the play calling highlights his strengths. The defense was excellent on Saturday and I look for more of that as the season progresses. The offense has to help them out though. Brenden Coffey should be starting in place of Troxell. Stutts should be more to left guard and Jones should be starting left guard. Jalil Irvin is a better option at center because he is bigger and stronger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a tremendous athlete but doesn't seem to read the defense well at this point nor make plays with his arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was asked by a new coach about housing, etc. The Coach's response was, "I recommend buying a mobile home, buying the truck that delivers it, and leaving the truck hooked up! You never know when you're going to need to move in the middle of the night." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
