Looks like a lot of enthusiasm DOWN THERE on that new HC hire.
BREAKING Auburn hires Brian Harsin from Boise State as new head coach (now official)
- Thread starter BamaNation
- Start date
@AUDub Good luck and best wishes with the new coach. Hopefully he does right by the student athletes and develops them well.
We're diving into the great unknown here. He could be the next Urban Meyer or he could be the next Butch Jones. Just not much to go on here.
One of the signs of the 6 protestors says "I WILL NOT EAT ANY POTATOES!" 
I would say he has shown he can coach. The question is, can he coach & recruit in the SEC. His biggest asset so far seems to be that y'all don't have to pay for a buyout.
Meyer is a reach - he inherited a 5-6 team at Utah and went 10-2, 12-0 before being hired by UF. Harsin has lots of potential but AU isn't UF, so while time will tell...
Is that guy that booed Chiznik when he got off the plane going to be greeting this guy???
Yeah.
A lot of people are holding up his success at Boise as some sort of example of his brilliance. They fail to mention that being at Boise against that level of competition in the MWC is like being handed the keys to a Ferrari.
There's just nothing to go on with this guy. Probably his biggest claim to fame is calling that statue of liberty against Oklahoma in the 07 Fiesta Bowl.
From an Auburn friend (which seems to the sentiment of several AU friends)...
"Remember when Boise used to be really good and beating OK in sugar bowl and making bad bowls every year? Yeah that was before this guy took over."
I'm going to guess that he's no better than Gus's bus, but you'll keep him for 4 years to offset what you're paying Gus to not coach. But he could be the next Urban and surprise all of us. At least, unlike with Freeze and a few of the others mentioned, there's nothing for us to hate from the get go
Hey a solid hire for Mississippi State......wait, this is for Auburn? Well, this is awkward...

He's a good Xs and Os guys, good attitude, all that. Known for being a good recruiter.
Big question is if he will he be able to pull talent to Auburn in an area outside of his west coast footprint.

Auburn athletic director Allen Greene said in a statement: "Coach Harsin impressed me with his detailed plan to lead Auburn to consistently compete for championships in the Southeastern Conference."
Interesting. Just leaked... Here's a peek at his 7-part plan:
1) Pray on knees every night that Nick Saban retires.
2) See #1
3) See #1
4) See #1
5) Copy Coach Saban's process
6) Get CNS's recruiting leftovers
7) See #1

My gut is hurting over all the laughter the past couple of days with this rich comedy gold. But, in the end, I think ole barny landed a decent coach. And soon as he recruits some good potato pickers and such maybe they'll see some real success.
