They are officially on “screw it” mode
They hired Harsin
Pete Thamel is saying that Auburn is expected to hire Boise State's coach. Say's an announcement should happen soon.
You fire Malzahn to get Harsin.
If I'm Auburn I'm extremely concerned that I couldn't get anything better than that.
Auburn paid 21 million dollars to get rid of Gus only to hire harsin?
Certainly not a splashy hire. He's been good at Boise though, so I'll reserve judgement
Harsin won or shared the Mountain West title at Boise 6 out of 7 years and only won less than ten games once (if you don’t count this season where they only played 9 games). That’s a pretty solid hire on paper. He has accomplished a hell of a lot more than Lane Kiffin, who their fans wanted.
Is he an upgrade from gus? I think minimal if so. Certainly not worth 21 million dollars to make the trade from Gus to harsin.
Not sure this is much of a big upgrade. He has sustained Boise but they aren?t what they used to. Auburn fans wanted kiffin? lol I?m still trying to figure out what he has done as a head coach. He was fired from USC where he couldn?t win with talent and was 6-6 at Tennessee. He won at FAU because he got talent that was way above the rest of the conference
Sooooo....let me get this straight. You fire Gus, and then you hire a guy who?s concepts in a lesser league are no better then the guy you just fired in the SEC. AU can do better then that BS, but this is exactly why they will always stay where they are in the pecking order in the West. They have the money to hire better, but there Cigar Boys are their biggest problem!
