2021 College football thread - Auburn’s gotta Auburn. (1 Viewer)

Now it sounds like the affair rumor isn't true.  And they are going after Harsin for creating a hostile environment for players and staff.

They're on Instagram live talking about the Harsin situation. Going to post some standout quotes.

Smoke Monday calls Harsin "competitive as hell. He's a great coach."

Monday says Bryan Harsin has never spoken to his parents: "He probably doesn't know their names. As a coach, how can you explain that?"

Smoke: "If y'all can give me a real reason for why Derek Mason left, I'll be on your side."

Zakoby and Lee Hunter say Tyrone Truesdell asked for time off from football for a while and Harsin kicked him off the team. "He said, 'You can have the longest break you want to.'"

Kobe Hudson: "If Harsin learns how to relate to people, he'll be the next Nick Saban."

Monday: "He knows what it takes to win. It's how he does business outside of that."

Zakoby McClain: "I was just uncomfortable."

Lee Hunter says it was "hard to focus on football."

Hudson: "All these kids at Auburn just need someone to relate to them."

Colby Wooden on IG live: "All I'm gonna say is Mr. Auburn, Bo (Nix), left for a reason.

Hudson: "It's a dictatorship. He never cares about what the team says."

Harsin's daughter in the chat: "Y'all know nothing about my dad. This is sad."

Kinda surprised Miami can lure the OC away from Michigan (who is still down a DC). Something else going on here?

He wrote in his farewell to the players, "Don't stay somewhere you aren't wanted." Apparently the administration must have favored another internal candidate over him when Harbaugh almost left.

It's a real actual #### show.   Luckily we're a basketball school now.

Yep, it's easier to look the other way when Bruce Pearl is doing what he's doing.  Not sure anyone truly knows at this point, but both sides have lawyered up is what I'm hearing.  Hard to imagine we aren't headed for a settlement.  I don't see how we go forward with the status quo.  Had we hired Cristobal last year like we should have, rather than allowing boosters to use him as a smoke screen to try and get Steele in, we wouldn't be in this mess.

The end of season losses were bad.  What has sounded the alarms even more is the lack of recruiting and overall lack of a willingness to build relationships.  Literally only 2 of the top 20 in state prospects were at Junior Day.  I'm not advocating for only giving a guy 13 months, just the opposite.  But those numbers are facts.

Regardless of what else happens, I feel bad for the guy for this.  To me, that part is shameful.  We all know this kind of thing goes on, it well may be true, or it may not.  But it sure has that feel like certain boosters *cough, yella* have a way of keeping things in their back pocket and releasing it at the moment they need it to further their agenda.  Last year was a moment in time after the failure with Steele to push those guys out some with a strong willed coach.  Harsin filled that part, but it had to be paired with winning and/or strong recruiting.  He appears unprepared to recruit on the level needed to compete in the SEC.  He subbed those jobs out to assistants and that simply doesn't work here.  He is a solid X and O coach I believe, but you aren't going to outcoach these guys with inferior talent.

I was MUCH more bummed to hear about Macdonald going back to the NFL.  There is a good core of players coming back at QB, WR and RB and I was relatively confident they would be stifled with Gattis calling plays.  They will likely hire from within, but I think Herman would be an interesting option too.

 
Major move to sign Arch Manning from Texas and Sark it appears, hiring David Cutcliffe to be an Analyst.  That relationship runs deep.

 
now there's a report that Harsin was told he would be fired at Ark State but before the press conference, Boise hired him away!

so much for Auburns due diligence

So bring me up to speed here; why is Auburn and their fan base running around like their hair's on fire?

Auburn boosters want Harsin gone but botched it badly. They tried the affair rumor but that seems to be false. Now they're trying to create rules to fire Harsin for cause (but will probably lose badly in court).

Harsin is hanging in there waiting for Auburns next desperate move

And they'll probably get sued by the female staffer.

They should assuming it was not true.

Don't forget Episode 1...AU fires Malzahn without a plan to replace, gets turned down by their Top 5-6 choices, tries to backdoor Kevin Steele in, fans revolt and they rush to hire a coach who was very clearly a terrible fit in the SEC.

 
 
@LateKickJosh: Auburn went through Harsin’s phone while he was in the shower, couldn’t find enough dirt, and asked what they were doing for Valentine’s Day when he walked back in.

 
I've seen this movie before. Isn't this where they bring in a veteran coordinator who gets the coach fired so the school can promote him?

 
Statement from Bill Hancock, executive director of the College Football Playoff:

The CFP Board of Managers met via video conference yesterday, as a follow-up to a video meeting earlier this week conducted by the CFP Management Committee.

The Board of Managers has accepted a recommendation from the Management Committee to continue the current four-team playoff for the next four years, as called for in the CFP’s original 12-year plan. At the same time, the Board expects the Management Committee to continue its discussions of a new format that would go into effect for the 2026-27 season.

Even though the outcome did not lead to a recommendation for an early expansion before the end of the current 12-year contract, the discussions have been helpful and informative. I am sure they will serve as a useful guide for the Board of Managers and for the Management Committee as we determine what the Playoff will look like beginning in the 2026-2027 season.

I thank the working group for its hard work that resulted in the 12-team proposal, and the Management Committee for its thorough and diligent job reviewing it and other possible expansion ideas. This has been a long, careful, and detailed process that involved many people considering a complex matter. I am grateful to everyone for their dedication to college football and the detailed and deliberative effort everyone put into the consideration of a different format. I know the four-team event will continue to be successful.

Translation.  Get rekt.  

 
Good deeper dive into the expansion from Dinich.

Absolutely," Swarbrick said. "It will. In our discussions, everybody in the room reiterated their interest in expansion. No one ever said no expansion. It will expand. I think we're probably 30 days, 45 days past when the real deadline was. If you're going to go early, there's stuff you had to do. We just couldn't get there in time."

I really wish they'd move the playoff to the beginning of December as soon as regular season is over.

A round robin P5 showdown in lieu of the conf champ games makes the most sense.  Of course it won't happen.   Something like best SEC plays worst PAC10 and then spread out the other four games. This assumes people care about the national performance over regional and conference ones which is by no means certain.

 
whirlwind day for Hue Jackson

Hue Jackson taking heat for Art Briles hiring.

@DanMurphyESPN: The Hue Jackson Foundation collected $158,000 in 2019 (the most recent tax info available). It paid out $115,000 to its sole paid employee and spent another $15,000 on travel. It looks like they gave out roughly $4,000 in grants. https://twitter.com/HueJacksonFDN/status/1497279056588558338

@PeteThamel: Source: Art Briles will no longer be the offensive coordinator at Grambling.

 
Here's a Spencer Rattler news conference going into spring ball. He gives some insight on his path to Columbia SC and talks a little about his former school. Says that he's learned more in his short time @ Carolina than his previous three years in Norman. 😁

This is a week and a half old but still a good watch.

What a joke.  College football will never be the same.  How crappy is this for the top lineman and defensive guys?  Paying only the top qbs solves nothing and is worse than before.

Have you ever seen the ESPN 30-for-30 documentary called "The Pony Express"? Those events happened 40 years ago and they weren't new then.
