I see a team fighting like hell with a ton of young studs. They’ll take their lumps this year, mature, load up with more talent—then look out. No one is satisfied with 2-4. But my eyes tell me the pendulum is swinging and much better days are very soon. Patience and trust.

The players that believe in Harsin and chose to return will work like madmen to vindicate him and their own decisions to believe in him. They’ll have to be the ones to elevate recruiting by getting Ws, because the Auburn Administration has neutered Harsin ad infinitum.

Saddened that my former teammate passed away today from an aggressive cancer and stroke. My heart aches for his wife and young boys. I am grateful Jeff had an eternal perspective—this life isn’t it. Jesus defeating death is our hope. It was Jeff’s. His hope is being fulfilled.

My gauge for hiring a new coach—understanding cultures are unique—Would Bama, UGA, LSU, A&M—your yearly rivals—strongly consider your coach if they had to make the hire? Top 5? Would he even be in their top 10? If the answer is no then you have the wrong guy—try harder, go bigger

This onslaught doesn’t prove a 4 team playoff is the answer. Mostly the preferred schools & their fans advocate for 4. It shows all records aren’t arrived at equally, conference strengths vary, & strength of schedule should mean more. Lots of teams would play LSU closer than OU.

Honored to see another WWII Navy veteran today. 94 yo that asked if Burrow or Stafford would win the Super Bowl and wondered why Auburn doesn’t spend money on facilities and players instead of firing coaches. If I had the authority I would have hired him as AD.

This write up is what always is ironic regarding Auburn football. The consensus is typically AU is inconsistent (I agree), middle of the road, likely incapable of competing for a title. But if you beat them?? Well, you vault up the polls. Those two things don’t seem to align.

Agree
@RobShuler1
. Kevin Steele didn’t roll in with the same old plan. He was creative and capable of adapting to the opponent. Gus couldn’t do the same. Even so, you don’t hit reset on a program that competes it’s butt off on the road against two top 10 teams. Keep grinding.

With the same thought process that ejects a player for non-intentional targeting, but not a coach that storms the field, chest bumps officials, antagonizes the opponent, and hypes the crowd after acting asinine. His punishment should be severe.
If the SEC justifies a fine for Lane Kiffin tweeting, how does it not suspend Dan Mullen for his role in a brawl?
