This will only work if he is allowed to overhaul the staff and start over with new folks. I don’t wish for anyone to lose a job but this program doesn’t need old guard hanging around and undermining. It’s obvious several on the staff are into that. This being Auburn, I expect he’s been told to retain everyone and run the Dye/Sullivan playbook.

Agree the staff needs an overhaul.  So who has to go?  

My take is: 

1) Kodi Burns -- Like the kid, but he needs to go be a GA somewhere.  Maybe Troy.  
2) Carnell - Love Carnell, too. Not qualified for the job he has. 
3) Chad Fucking Morris -- obviously.  Congratulations to all the sunshine pumpers.  You were WRONG about that clown. Kaos was (again) right. 

Can he come in and whack "Auburn guys" like Carnell and Kodi without facing significant resistance?

Does he keep Steele and Garner?  I think it would be suicide if he did, but who knows.  What about Travis and McGriff?

Travis. I love the guy. He’s got a spirit about him. And linebacker play improved generally overall with him as coach. Everyone else can take a fuckin hike. Especially kodi, garner and Steele. All Grifters. 


from what I’ve read from both jay g, b matthews and a few others (cubelic)  - harsin will have full autonomy from Allen Greene and jay Gogue to run this program and hire his own staff.....period. This was all Allen Greene’s hire done somewhat covertly around the committee. I like it. I would never want to force harsin to retain a coach but I’d really like him to consider Travis for several reasons.

https://247sports.com/college/auburn/Article/Jason-Caldwell-column-Thoughts-on-Harsin-and-Auburns-coaching-search-157654561/

I think this is a sane, honest take on the entire search which we were led to think was abandoned in a ditch three days after Gus was fired. And I have to admit that I had little if any confidence in Greene, Gogue or the BOT to do their due diligence and find the right head coach for the program.

I'm happy with the choice.
Thank you for the comments. I think I’m sane and honest, too. It’s always nice to get affirmations. I’ve always liked you as well.

That is great news, if true.  I too would love to see T-Will retained, but will trust Coarch Harsin's judgement there.  The rest of the bunch, don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

I just perused a Broncos board to get a sense of their reaction.  There are the obligatory "thank God" and "I'll drive him to the airport" and "Christmas came early" reactions.  Most think he'll do well, though. 

The one comment that struck me most?  

Will emulate Dabo but with Saban's personality.  That's what they're getting.  Except at Auburn he'll actually be able to get the 5* guys he pursued but Boise couldn't pull.

I sure hope so because ULM just landed Terry Bowden. I think he would’ve seriously considered coming home.

So the word is, it was as we suspected. Alan Greene went rogue and wasn’t anybody’s yes man.

That makes me proud of the guy and that’s a first for any AU AD. It could still end up costing him his job if the hire flops but he did his job despite all of the noise. And although I was ready for a change, I think it’s more evident that Gus didn’t have the support that he should have from within the team and otherwise. Not imo, anyway. Too many factions pulling different ways.

Regardless, he had his chance and that ship sailed. Good luck to him and enjoy the 21 mil.

Coach Haskins has my full support and I believe he won’t have any strings tied to him, which is great. We can thank Alan Greene for that.

I am more and more impressed by greene

Edit: not bgreen the AD Greene. Add an e.

What up bitches?

Y'all better be FUCKING PUMPED for this hire cause Greene knocked it out of the damn park.  I have never been this excited about an Auburn Coach outside of Bruce Pearl.  I like Harsin better than any of the other names that were even mentioned/ we supposedly whiffed on.  Dude may fall flat on his face, but I am 100% (like warbloggle in) on this hire.

He checks all the boxes.  Young, winner, offensive-minded, dude can coach, blue-collar, exQB.  Needs to surround himself with coaches that know the lay of the land but I don't think recruiting is going to be an issue. 

BTW...I'mma just leave this here.

Solid hire and I am glad to hear Greene actually acted like the AD we hired him to be rather than be a Jay Jacobs-esque yes man.  He will have to assemble a staff with elite recruiters but I think he is smart enough to realize that.  

To sum it up, he ain't never been nothin' but a winner.  Hoping that we don't screw that up for him.

"Hey my friends are the ones that wanted to eat at that shitty hole in the wall that only served bread and wine.  What kind of brick and mud business model is that.  Stick to the cart if that's all you're going to serve.  Then that dude came in with like 12 other people, and some of them weren't even wearing shoes, and the restaurant sat them right across from us. It was gross, and they were all stinky and dirty.  Then dude starts talking about eating his body and drinking his blood...I almost lost it.  That's the last supper I'll ever have there, and I hope he dies a horrible death."

Godfather should have the skinny on the presser. After all he was the prophet the BOT should have followed all along.

I had some spirits saved for a Trump victory.
Guess I crack it open for the Harsin hire instead.
