TeamZero77 1,951 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 (edited) Our so called "Insiders" at Auburn who make their living covering Auburn sports seem to always get these hires wrong. Not only wrong, they don't even get close. All we heard after Gus was fired was it's 100% Mario Cristobal. Then he signed an extension to Oregon and our Insiders blamed us not getting Mario because our boosters wouldnt give full control. Then it was for sure going to be Freeze, then Kiffin, then Napier, then Sarkisian, etc. Not a damn one had Bryan Harsin on their list. Then during the offseason all the Insiders said he was for sure getting fired and then they started the same stuff again about us hiring Kiffin, Grimes, Freeze, etc. Well, Harsin never got fired so they again missed it. Now the AD hire was for sure going to be the Utah State AD and he was hiring Grimes as HC because he tries to hire Grimes at Utah State. Looks like another miss for the Auburn Insiders like Marshall, Hoke, etc. I haven't seen any of them say that Cohen from Miss. St. was our guy or even in the running. They never get it right. It goes back to 2008 when we were for sure hiring Turner Gill, then Houston Nutt and then Mike Leach. None of them mentioned Chizik. They're taking Auburn fans money but whiffing 90% of the time on recruiting, coaching hires, coaching terminations and AD hirings. As much as they give out wrong information, it wouldn't shock me if Harsin is our coach next season but has to make staff changes.

AUCE05 369 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 (edited) Yes. And there seems to be no consequences. Some of you just keep feeding on their lies. I also love JBoys strategy. After it is over and he was wrong, just say "We saved it in the last hour." Edited October 30, 2022 by AUCE05 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamZero77 1,951 Posted October 30, 2022 Author Share Posted October 30, 2022 (edited) Everytime the Auburn pay sites get these coaching hires and AD hires wrong, they hide behind "So and so coach was coming here but the boosters wouldn't give him full control." They always get stuff wrong but then they hide behind the "boosters won't give control" excuse. The pay sites don't know anything more than Joe Blow sitting in the upper deck at Jordan Hare. Atleast he isn't taking your money though. Edited October 30, 2022 by TeamZero77 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taker 494 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 It does appear to me that there seems to be some serious weariness when it comes to "second hand information" I know that the ones sharing it are literally "in the middle" and it is appreciated for what is given.

Option 2: AU admin is run by academic-types that are poor at decision making (the worse possible type for decisive thinking) with diverse boosters frantically trying to influence.

CR 2,467 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 The thing that bothers me is how there was this huge effort to build Harsin up after the investigation when it was obvious that things were going poorly. On3 was practically shaking Harsin pom poms. Its a disservice to tell fans things are great and Harsins killing it when that was obviously not the case. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all do that. I've seen word for word posts taken from this forum with no credit given. That's why I don't pay any of this stuff much attention. None of it is more accurate than what I get from my family and friends....some of whom have been Auburn people for over 60 years and have their own network of longtime Auburn boosters. And no.....they don't make hiring/firing decisions or pressure the President or the AD. Those Auburn employees who have the real, accurate information about Auburn are not giving out details when something big is in the works. Not sure why people expect it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auburn fans had a choice.....believe the players who told us Harsin was no good......look at how he handled Coach Corn.....look at how he coached the games......or believe a media outlet wanting to make money. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
