Lots of eye candy, motions, sweeps, spread the defense out and anything to get the ball out quickly and creatively. We seem to line up tightend heavy and hand the ball off to tank and thats about it. You mean exactly what Gus used to do? Eye candy, then hand off up the middle? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes to the first no to the second point We have to have some dynamism and simply cannot line up and get any kind of postive gain. This would be a good time to utilize jav johnson in a similar fashion to how we utilized ryan davis at wr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really easy recruiting with that constant outside noise. Again he’ll have to go but the dude never got a fair shake ( and I wasn’t a fan of Harsin out of the gate but I get the full picture of the mess and s*** cards he was dealt) His second class where he didn’t have a single signee on NSD? Then the firestorm happened a week after that when someone in the AD leaked the investigation? The man has this program headed in the wrong direction both on and off the field. Time to cut bait and start over. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can have 6 5 star RBs but they won’t be effective at all without blocking. Harsin can’t block for them. But he could've recruited athletes who could block for them. He didn't. It IS Harsin's fault for not filling that need He's had plenty of time and opportunity to fix the problem. Harsin's just all talk and no action. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He like the previous two coaches aren't built for this level of football, but he is definitely the worse out of the three by far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure of your argument? Either way I’m not pro Harsin but also not pro fire people prematurely and cause worse damage but at this point it don’t matter. You have to be a troll! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we don't need games. We could just run 40 and 100 yard dashes and, have a bench press competition. Sure, that is the objective and we've tried. But again, you need speed and quickness, which we lack in a bad way, especially on the OL. And after watching the Georgia game we also lack elite speed in the defensive backfield. A qb should never be able to run a 64 TD. Edited October 9, 2022 by creed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same for MSU and Ole Miss. Our LBs and safeties are slow and undersized. Coaching sucks right now, but our talent level is nowhere near where some fans think it is relative to the rest of the SEC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coaching sucks right now, but our talent level is nowhere near where some fans think it is relative to the rest of the SEC. I think the disagreements between me and some of the posters is I watch the game from a different perspective. Most people watch schemes and plays, and I get that. But, I watch the game from a player perspective and gauge the player from an abilities (skillset) standpoint, which include size, quickness, speed and strength. The priority for each of these varies by position. As an example I watch a linemans feet to see if he has quick and coordinated steps and postioning. Then I gauge the overall team's speed, which I think is the most important aspect. Currently IMO AU is below average in overall team speed. Coaching can help some with scheme, but with our current physical condition and skillset we'll only have limited success, hence second half failures after the opponent makes adjustments. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWALA Tiger 3,616 Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 So we are where we are.. Everyone knows Harsin is gone. The Pres has a chance to rip the band off... Will he? How he handles this will show how serious we are about Fball and will go a long way toward determining how long it takes to recover from this mess. At best Harsin should be fired today. At worst, make the announcement today and let him finish the year. Every day that goes by with no action, is another day of lost hope for the program.
