Posts like this make me glad that we are finally ready to admit there are good football programs outside of the SEC. Parity is good for the sport.
Yup big shoutout to the team that won the conference of the coach you just hired. SJSU Spartans are on the ups. Real shame how far Boise fell off under Harsin.
Family, history, tradition + nameless jersey is once again making my boomer conservative stepdad feel all sorts of things.
The boomer tradition of calling a player by his number vs his actual name is really fucking stupid. "24 had a solid game this weekend and 56 was really pushing guys around"
Great men with great ideals can be separated by hundreds or even thousands of miles and still be in the same place They can be years or even generations apart in age And yet, somehow, find themselves on the exact same page When these men join forces to put the focus of reaching the same goals, to attain the same outcomes, they are not two, but one Instead of simply adding one's common attributes to another's, they somehow tend to multiply all attributes of both Whether from St. Louis or East Atlanta Whether from a savage land or a booming metropolis Whether they are two or two billion, the greatest their numbers could ever become, is to truly become one I now present to you
Under cross examination we will find Room 15 guilty of being a Millennial and acting like a stupid fucking boomer
Harsin, who came to Auburn from Boise State in December, is signed through Dec. 31, 2026. His salary begins at $5 million and increases by $100,000 on Jan. 1 of each year of the contract. Harsin's bonus structure includes $100,000 for winning the SEC West Division and $250,000 for winning an SEC championship. He will earn $200,000 for every New Year's Six bowl appearance; $300,000 for reaching the College Football Playoff; $400,000 for reaching the national title game and $800,000 for winning a national championship. If Auburn fires Harsin without cause, it will owe the coach 70% of his remaining salary through the contract term, half of which will be paid within 30 days of termination. The remaining 50% would be paid out over four years, and Harsin's guarantee is not subject to offset or mitigation. Auburn had a similarly structured agreement with Harsin's predecessor, Gus Malzahn, who was fired in December. Malzahn was owed more than $21 million on his contract, and he received half of the amount within 30 days. UCF last month hired Malzahn as its coach. Malzahn earned $6,927,589 at Auburn in 2020. If Harsin leaves Auburn before the end of the contract, he would owe the school $7 million in the first year, $5 million in the second year and $3 million in the third year. His buyout then drops by $1 million apiece in the fourth and fifth years of the agreement. Harsin, 44, earned $1.85 million at Boise State in 2020. He comes to Auburn with a 76-24 record in eight seasons as a head coach.
Poor guy is barely keeping up with inflation with a 2% raise the first year and less than 2% every year thereafter
Crazy thing is this isn't even the worst buyout situation we have been in. We owed money to football, basketball, and baseball coaches all that the same time once.
Nix is basically the shittier QB version of Jake Fromm. a million INT's against South Carolina, WWJD, etc. Just waiting on his "guns are for elite whites" moment.
When I saw that salary I thought that they would at least negotiate favorable buyout terms. Same dumb buyout Gus had with the 50% payout inside 30 days and no clawback if he gets a new job elsewhere.
From a guy that has recently been called a psychopath on this board, Bo Nix is a psychopath. He realizes he has been less than good so then he immediately goes deep into the bag of Aubren Fambly and pulls out the Jesus card for self preservation. As a guy that spent a lot of time in church at Auburn, I have seen this card played so many times. Usually played by the guy that thinks he's a super good guy and can't get the church girl he has been all but stalking for years. Usually this strategy is played by non alpha types that are overtly jealous of the success of others. In Nix's case I think he is just using it for internet clout and to guilt the fans into being quiet about his pedestrian performances.
Needs to read the latest version of the creed IMO, but can we trade him back to the team board for AUB ?
Bo Nix will be 2nd Team all SEC this year. Something like 3900 39TDs 12 picks. 450yds rushing with 4TDs
