Harsin and Auburn Drama (Auburn coaching situation talk)

[Isaiah 63:1]

I hope they do a episode on SEC Shorts about Harsin & Auburn pretty soon..It should be hilarious..

I don’t think it’s their style to make things that personal…

One thing sticks out to me about the conduct of the PTB. They got the school in trouble for their prior meddling. They backed off for a while, but now they are back at it with a vengeance.

If they fire him without cause I believe it is around 15 million Harsin is owed. Add that onto the 21 million that Gus stole from the program and that gets very expensive very quickly. Not to mention all the contracts with assistant coaches. Auburn boosters are going to be broke.

I am sure Auburn will try to fire with cause and lawyers will be involved.

What a dumpster fire! Dub, what`s going to happen next, you think?

Well Gus didn’t want to stay and was well on his way to Arkansas in 2017 after the Iron Bowl but the Auburn President went rogue and paid him an amount that he couldn’t refuse. Parties in power going rogue is what typically happens at Auburn. Whether it be the Athletic Department, Administration, or boosters there is always a constant fight for control

“Hey Ray, Jimmy here. Let’s just burn this sucker to ground. You design something new and I’ll supply the Yellerwood….”

One reporter on Finebaum yesterday (I believe with Al.com) said firing Harsin without cause would bring the total cost of paying off Gus and his staff and then Harsin and his guys and their contracts in the $80 million or more range.

That actually depends. It’s why the promote from within and hiring Steele makes a ton more sense than hiring Freeze.

80 million dollars that could have been spent on facilities and other such needs. Not to mention the millions of dollars they will need for a new coach and staff. Hiring and firing is a pain and can quickly turn a program into a downward spiral (happy its auburn lol). I get that programs always want more, but it is not hard to go from a 8-4 Fulmer record to years of misery and lost money.

Bout to get real expensive down there

This says it all. Sometimes the best way to love someone, or something, is to step back and let those who can objectively look at a situation do the job they are hired to do. Also, their fascination with Dye and "Auburn men" is as bad as ours was with Bryant and "Bear's boys". I hope that post-Saban does not hold the same for us.

"Look at the different factions, how fragmented the place has been," a longtime Auburn source said. "I look at it all and wonder what coach Dye would think, how a place with so many people who love Auburn could keep screwing it up."

Yup or former Jacksonville St HC John Grass.. He's a really good HC & I imagine they could get him at a discount price..

Or Auburnt could filch the nomadic coaching nimrod RichRod away from Jax as cow college caretaker coach and let Grass go back to his greener Calhoun County pasture...

Worse comes to worst, they still got "Housel of Curds" available to step in as emeritus "Yes, Your Lowdership" or "Yes, Your Yellafellaship" butler, er, bungler down there...

Reading and absorbing everything that's out there about Auburn, they just seem like the very definition of lack of institutional control.

Yep, Dye was part of the problem until he past away. He’s was just a mouth piece for the wealthy boosters. If Dye had live a little longer I doubt Harsin is even hired and the booster would have gotten who they wanted, Steele.

That actually depends. It’s why the promote from within and hiring Steele makes a ton more sense than hiring Freeze.

It was Josh Talty of Al.com and his colleague Tom Greene (Auburn Beat Writer) that were throwing around those numbers. Talty actually said “$100 million”. He credited Green for calculating those numbers.
My assumption is that they are talking about $35 million to get rid of Gus & gang, $30 million to unload Harsin and staff, and additional $30 million to hire “their guy”.
Talty was on the first 15 minutes of the first hour of Finebaum’s show Friday. You can pull up the podcast.

So if they fire Harsin and go and hire Steele, that would be Steele’s third job in 2 weeks…..

Goes from DC at Auburn to DC/interim HC in 2020 when they can Gus, then to “defensive assistant” at Tennessee for Pruitt in 2021 and gets the “interim head coach” position there when Pruitt gets caught up in the McDonald’s Golden Arches recruiting scandal, and then sips mimosas for a few months after they hire Huepel. Then he takes the DC job at Maryland for Locks for about 15 minutes before bolting to Miami to work for Cristabol.
If Auburn brings him back, the attorneys need to write his contract on a etch-a-sketch.
