I have to admit I’m in awe of any booster or trustee who has the sheer chutzpah to look us all in the eye and say they want to run off Harsin over moral issues, and then in the same breath introduce our new head coach, Hugh Freeze.<br>That, my friends, would be next-level.</p>&mdash; TV’s Van Allen Plexico 🏀 🔜🏆 (@VanAllenPlexico) <a href="

I mean, I have to respect his self-awareness as being above that of the average guy who wrote a book about Auburn sports.

But that does - to me - beg the question.......are you still going to support the program with your support and dollars (including tickets to games) if Freeze gets hired?

Because if you are then all this moralizing posturing means absolutely nothing. The PTB at Auburn (and yes folks other schools, this ain't unique) KNOW that they won't take any kind of financial hit if they DO hire Freeze.

All the more reason to do so since the declarations are meaningless.

Will this apply to Pearl if the NCAA comes back for another bite of the apple? He refused the first time.

This could certainly be a two-edged sword. I wouldn't at all be surprised if they rescinded this policy after this particular matter comes to a conclusion.

Remember, this is the same institution that extended the grade appeal deadline so that 17 football players they could still be eligible to play in the 2010 NCG... :rolleyes:

So; do they want to interview Harsin? Or; the girl?

Probably both.

If Harsin said anything contrary (even if he truly forgot an insignificant detail), they would call that "cause" and fire him immediately, thus saving themselves $18M.

I'm a little baffled at this point. Clearly they badly want to get Rid of Harsin, and Clearly Harsin didn't cooperate. Also it's apparent they have no proof of impropriety or he'd be gone by now. So they are checkmated. The game's over. There is no way they can cut Harsins feet out from under him and have him be effective to lead their program, So the only option is to pay the man and start over. Yet their answer has been to simply do nothing. Every hour that goes by does more damage to that program, when it comes to recruiting perception is reality, I contend money won't solve it either because unlike in the past, anybody can get players paid now, and it's all legal.

Good point, Selma! Hiring Freeze would have a built in "cause" (cause you just KNOW he is going to do something immoral or unethical) if they ever wanted to dump him with no buy-out...:LOL:

The question to ask is who hired Greene? That hire cost Steven Leath his job. The good ole boys lost control when Lowder was forced off the Board of Trustees.

He still wields a LOT of power down there.

Who do you think controls the Tigger Unlimited Fund? :cool:

Guys, let's remember, there were approximately 2 dozen fans that showed up at Toomers to support Harsin! I mean, come on, the fans are clearly behind coach!
