Which always reminds me of that classic 1969 football movie "Number One". It made Charleton Heston's career I believe.
Harsin and Auburn Drama (Auburn coaching situation talk)
- Thread starter 81usaf92
- Start date
Harsin’s biggest win this year was against Auburn
After reading all the pudints, so called sports writers and et al. I would love to have a certain Cecil Hurts thoughts and opinions on the Auburn debacle. I just read Joesph Goodmans article on al.com good please help that paper if that is the best they can hire as newspaper whatever they are called these days.
Of all the articles that have been published, I still fell I am reading the talking points AU is publishing.
I miss Cecil but the reason I do is I trust his opinion and he never did print noise to cover up things at Bama, Auburn doenst have this type of a writer. But on the other hand we lost one our best....

They'll win at least one of those simply because they shouldn't.
This has disaster written all over it.
The guy already can't get recruits and now you've got it out there that, well, he's sorta there but who knows for how long, meaning you're not going to get other recruits as well. And guess what? If Harsin does implode, he has a built-in excuse for the failure and can say, "Hey, you guys messed it all up."
Just remember - in the strange world of Auburn logic, this entire thing is ALABAMA'S fault. The narrative will eventually be that we did something that caused all this problem for them because we're jealous they can beat us or something like that. We've been blamed for their late 70s probation, the Eric Ramsey scandal, bad SEC officiating because "the SEC offices are in Birmingham," and we only sidestepped the Cam Newton scandal because two former MSU players were the most prominent voices. In the end, Chesli is gonna be a Bama girl sent to Boise as a secret agent for the REC to destroy this dude out of fear he'd be the next Saban.

Auburn has got it down pat. Trash Harsin for a week while he is out of the country, then meet with him, and then today announce that Harsin will coach at Auburn this next season. I guess that is what passes for a hearty endorsement at Auburn. Last count I had Auburn lost their coaches and about 20 players who left thru the Portal, and didn't sign anyone last week. I want to see how they pull this off. Does Auburn plan to offer Millions of NIL dollars to fill their cupboards.
Auburn enacts new policy, effective immediately that could impact Bryan Harsin
As rumors swirl about Bryan Harsin's future with Auburn, the university implemented a new policy regarding investigations this week.www.on3.com
Only at Auburn.
'Inquiring Minds Want To Know'...
The only other avenue for Auburn is to offer millions of NIL money to SEC referees.

Philip and Lisa Maria Falcone: Falcone Quest
Hedge-fund billionaire Philip Falcone and his wife, Lisa Maria, left their humble upbringings far behind, but New York society hasn’t exactly welcomed them. As the knives come out, Bethany McLean finds the couple counting on one thing-themselves. Photographs by Jonathan Becker.
...Falcone says his bank accounts were frozen and his electricity shut off. “I realized I had to start all over, and that was fine,” he says. He didn’t cut his last check to creditors until 1997.
Falcone returned to bond trading on the Street, and in 2001, Harbert Management Corporation, a family-run, Alabama-based money-management firm, gave him $25 million to start a hedge fund that would trade “distressed” debt, meaning the bonds of companies in or close to bankruptcy...so he was basically broke with four or five years of experience trading bonds and had gone bust in his only business ownership role when Harbert (who had just converted from a manufacturing/engineering firm to a financial firm in 1993 and therefore had yeeeaaaars of experience in the bond trading game) just found him and gave him $25 million. Something about this just doesn't add up.
... And then came the trade that made his fortune: subprime mortgages. Falcone says it took him eight or nine months to understand the complex ways in which subprime securities were constructed and to investigate all of the underlying loans. I wonder who would have been able to instruct him in that? Sounds like a rigged game He made a first, small trade in late 2006; by mid-2007 he had a $15 billion “short” position. It was, as he says, a “very, very, very big position”—more than three times the assets he had, meaning he had borrowed money, a lot of it, to make the trade. “Once I get a conviction, I move big and quickly,” he says...
...“When did you know it was going to work?” I ask him.
“When I put the trade on,” he says with a small smile.

Maybe. But the problem is mostly that he has literally lost most of his team. Yes a good summer transfer portal could help, but the prospects of hitting a home run are grim.
6 wins are probably their absolute ceiling, but the team probably gives up well before that.
Auburn is keeping the coach they don't want, and the coach does not want to be there. That sounds..........ideal. But hey, I always like a good "Auburn Civil War" story.,
Auburn is keeping the coach mainly because they don't want to hire a 3rd HC? Is that the jist? Either way, could not happen to a friendlier bunch.

I think they’re keeping him because he wouldn’t agree to a lower buyout.
I hear what you are saying @DogPatch but Cincinnati also circled the wagons and it wasn’t close enough to beat a team with better players, more depth, and better coaches. Auburn is in serious trouble.
it was reported they only have 73 players on scholarship; like self imposed probation
