Harsin and Auburn Drama (Auburn coaching situation talk)

[Tidewater]

My guess is Harsin wants out of Auburn as much as Auburn wants him out.
The problem is money. Harsin wants it all, but my guess is Auburn can't afford to pay full price. Harsin can fight and win, and be the hated coach. I don't see how either side could consider this a win...

This is a situation ripe for compromise.
Does Auburn want Harsin gone bad enough to cough up $10,000,000? Considering Harsin has cost Auburn this Recruiting Class, the loss of Coaches and Players. It can only get worse.

Or better depending on your perspective.

Do they REALLY want to be looking for another coach, right now? Are they really this out of touch as to how attractive they think the program is?

I just don't understand Lee County. At all.

Plus there are several pages discussing Remlap.

since it is off season . . . could you add some history on Sand Mountain near Boaz . . . my dad played football at Susan Moore in the late 40's . . . any information about the area is appreciated!

Its just barn rats in the barn yard doing the barn thing. They take Booster meddling to olympic levels.

What a mess. When are those clowns supposed to start Spring practice? Got to be in the next 4-5 weeks, right? I think we usually get going right before Spring Break, which is around March 11....

Great point!

So they don't have an OC and now they are basically wanting to dump the entire staff with a month to go before Spring Practice. Hmmm...

I'll bet Calzada really regrets his decision right now.

Well, at least it’s not Gu-win

According to Pawl, Freeze is their man and everything left to do is a mere formality.

ouch...

Derek Mason took significant pay cut to go from Auburn to Oklahoma State

Derek Mason stepped down as Auburn's defensive coordinator last month before taking the same position at Oklahoma State less than a week later.

Some of these comments on the Barn forum on TigerDroppings concerning Steele possibly as the next head coach are hilarious;

"Steele took a horrendous Baylor program and nearly killed it."
"After a few years with Steele, we'll be looking at last year as "the good old days'.
"Kevin Steele was 1-31 at Baylor....in the Big 12" followed by a response of "At least he is consistent..."
" Don’t care HOW you slice it. 1 and 31. 1 and 31. My god. No thanks. Might as well hire Ellis Johnson"

And; there is an SEC Football Head Coaches meeting Thursday; that should be interesting.
Is the Rev. Al Greene going to attend; maybe open the meeting with a cover of "Let's Stay Together"?

AND he moved to Stillwater.

ETA Harsin's higher ups were jerking him around om assistant coaches contracts, so that may have had some (or all) to do with this.

Not saying that Freeze isn't the choice, but how will that play out with Sankey? Sankey has balked at letting Freeze anywhere near the SEC in coordinator or even analysts roles. This is a guy that brought 15 level one NCAA violations to Oxford. Yeah, memories are short when it comes to SEC football, but I don't know if they are this short.

According to PF, all the issues with Freeze have been worked out and this is the new auby coach in waiting.

The guy they would not even grant an interview to a year ago? Yep; that guy

Fire Harsin because of alleged improprieties with a female, then hire Hugh Freeze. Maybe they’ll throw in a burner phone in Freeze’s contract. The Coen Brothers can’t write comedy like this.

Jimmy Rane said get it right. It isn't a "burner". It is a new fangled prepaid phone tied to PO Box address in Abbeville, AL.
