Only Auburn has had multiple booster led attempted palace coups though. If you don't understand that y'all are on a different level of chaotic from the average athletic program, I suggest you pull your head out of your special fucking place a little more often
The red flags were absolutely there after a year. The guy is totally out of his element when it comes to building a program and recruiting in the SEC
I don't disagree but he should have never been hired and unsuccessfully trying to fire him in the off-season is very messy
Especially when you would potentially have to play Bama twice and possibly play UGA three times under the expanded playoff scenario.
Yeah that's my point. The chances someone exists that can beat both and that Auburn can find and hire that person seem extremely remote
I ask myself how Auburn remains in a cycle of chaos then you see the useful idiots defending the boosters/admin responsible for the chaos
It was a bad hire. He made so many enemies and mistakes during his first 14 months, then had legit allegations against him that had to be investigated. Imagine 3 years down the road and we learn Auburn did nothing about 2-3 coaches making racial allegation against the HC. It was a valid investigation that had to happen, but I 100% agree certain ppl tried to leverage it and hoped we could have fired him in February. They ended up being 100% right
I always thought auburn was self aware they were a dysfunctional booster culture. That assumption was incorrect.
Well there was also your boosters trying to hire Kevin Steele and then a different set of boosters leaking it to the media to sway public opinion against it. Then you hired Harsin. Prob would have been better off just making Gus hire another OC
Nothing is changing for our team until someone gets OL talent in the program. Gus wasn't doing that either.
One booster wanted someone and didn't get his way. Making Gus hire another OC would have been the same cycle we were in and constantly producing 5 loss seasons. There was no reason to continue this
Could he help the OL and get kids through the portal. Nope. Could he close on NSD, Nope. 0-5 Could he make connections after Covid and recruit better. Nope. Would he try harder in recruiting. Nope Then quality non-Boise coaches left & he couldn't fill any with valid candidates. Changing Team culture takes more than a 1st season. We've gotten worse. Apparently banning elevators doesn't make your team amazing Hard to judge on 1 year.
People act like we unjustly move on from coaches. We don't. They all deserved to be fired for a variety of reason. Nearly all major coaching searches are a roller coaster of emotions. It's not much different is all I'm saying.
Nobody thinks Harsin is the answer, thus: “What should be done eventually, must be done immediately.”
There were doubts, but he wasn't a disaster in year 1. We beat a top 10 Ole Miss and Slaw team on the road. Bo doesn't break his ankle and we probably don't lose 6 games in a row and show up a respectable 9 win team. Seems firing two SEC coordinators and replacing them with guys from the MNW wasn't a good decision and just exacerbated everything.
At least you know ur getting the #1 pick Spoiler Just kidding, you'll probably win games 17 in some pointless fashion then lose the coin flip vs another 1-16 team. Missing out on a generation QB who goes on to win 6 super bowls
It was a disaster. Y’all were down two scores to Georgia state before benching a healthy Bo. You were last place in your division. 6-7. Losing record. Lest we forget all the racist shit.
We won that game and beat multiple ranked teams before he got hurt. His last 4 games vs SEC teams he had a 70% comp% throwing for nearly 300yds. He got better after that. Looking at the season as a whole vs before/after Bo is dumb. Sorry you can't see that. I'd expect an Oregon fan to at least try to spin that for their QB
Well I am thoroughly excited to see this next Auburn HC search. Anticipating that circus of boosters tripping over their own dicks hoping to land a Saban only to end up with Herm Edwards
Get it in while you can nerds. Once the Coach Prime Time dynasty begins there won’t be much to laugh about with the AU football team.
So UGA fans, since you're all ITT.....what do you think happens with Muschamp? He cool living off that buyout money and staying a special teams coach? I'm sure there is some appeal being at your alma mater, winning, lower stress, and having 2x buyouts making you generational wealthy. But coaches are known morons. Move on to a DC somewhere (at UGA?) or another HC job?
Muschamp is calling defense for us right now. Go watch the USCjr game. But yea, seems content with all the factors you laid out plus kid on the team. If he got another Head gig, I am sure he would leave. But why would we be concerned about Muschamp leaving? We have Glen Schumann. And if he left too, we have Kirby Smart. There are causes for concern at Georgia, Defense and Recruiting are not it.
I didn't realize he was Co-DC. I thought he was just a position coach still. I didn't say you would be concerned. Quit being dramatic & making shit up. Fucking natty champions and overly sensitive. Just asking if you've heard anything regarding what he wants.
You can wank to that all you want but that's very messy. I'm not even using it to ding Auburn. Auburn doing insane shit is what makes cfb entertaining. Just embrace it
Great DC and recruiter imo. His results as head coach been not great obv. I think UF is one of the better jobs in the country and he couldn't make that work. I guess if you're trying to kill time until Saban retires then go for it.
If Muschamp could hire a good OC then I think you'd be cooking with gas but that's escaped him in what, 8 years as a head coach. It's his Achilles heel.
He'll defiantly be rumor for the job due to connections. Wonder if he wants to be a HC or happy being an elite DC/recruiter. I'd love him as a DC, but don't think 3rd time's gonna be the charm for him.
He's making like a million bucks as our DC. He has a kid on the team and another that's a relatively big time qb at a school in Athens. Would probably take a lot for him to move. Edit: there is less than zero percent chance he goes to auburn as dc.
