Interesting hire for auburn

[BeastMode]

Great coach but that’s a mighty step up in conferences. He better get some recruiters in his staff.

 

[redcane]

I'd roll with Freeze.

 

[miamian01]

It’s interesting. He doesn’t have any ties to the south and will probably keep those assistants. Plus, he’s probably getting a bag.

 

[JgDaCane]

I wonder if their fans are saying "He's not an Auburn guy bro"

 

[arizonacane]

Chris Pederson make go back to Boise State.

 

[Lazarre]

You fire Gus for this... wow.

 

[brock]

Fire Gus for him?

I would Have tried hugh freeze or lane kiffin

 

[supersaiyanshel]

Chris Pederson make go back to Boise State.

If Texas was smart they'd target Peterson.

 

[CFLCane]

His two signature wins in 5 years are last year vs FSU and and a #14 Utah State. He's a got a few ranked wins vs fresno state but that's it. And now he's in the SEC lmao.

After the 2010 season, Harsin moved to the University of Texas in Austin for the 2011 and 2012 seasons and was the primary play-caller for the Longhorns, paired with Major Applewhite as co-offensive coordinators

That’s a good hire IMO. I am interested to see the recruiting results but from an X and O’s and pure coaching standpoint...it is a good hire IMO. They could have done much worse.

 

[Go Canes!!]

Already a dead man walking.

 

[BeastMode]

Already a dead man walking.

Agreed

 

[NC_Canes_11]

Already a dead man walking.

He’s lost the fan base before he even put on the headset

 

[Empirical Cane]

He gave them a binder entitled Deserve Victory.

It was 300 pages.

 

[Zombie-Cane]

Chris Pederson make go back to Boise State.

I’d take Pederson in a second.

 

[htownkidd]

I’d take Pederson in a second.

Every school in the country outside of 3-4 of them would.

This.

Bryan Harsin is a very well respected offensive mind in the business, in terms of X’s & O’s he’s a very good coach.

The question becomes culture fit & recruiting, he’s a true blue Boise Idaho guy, former Chris Petersen disciple that played & coached at BSU, if you could think of a guy who would never leave his alma mater it would be him, it’s kinda shocking that he would take the AU job, obviously he’s gonna get a big bump up in pay but he comes off as the type that would’ve been happy coaching at Boise St for the rest of his career.

Every single season at Boise except one (not including this year obviously because they only played 7) he had 10+ wins & did a terrific job developing QB’s that fit his scheme & found players that were seamless culture fits.

He does have some experience at a big time program when he was at Texas under Mack Brown as QB/OC, he was actually UT’s OC when Diaz was DC there lol, but he’s been pretty much a BSU lifer for most of his career, Auburn is a big move up for him.

I know one thing, AU under him is gonna be a well prepared offense, they will be a team that if you don’t show up to play will crack your head open with their offense in those noon kickoffs with teams coming out sluggish.

But it will all come down to recruiting, if he can get the hang of the brutal SEC recruiting Wars he’ll be alright, if not, he could end up like Novell at FSU & get blindsided by how aggressive recruiting is in the SEC.

 

[252cane]

He will be gone in 3 years

Yeah but I wonder if this hire turns out to be like Arkansas hiring Bulimia...Boise's been a successful program going back to the late 90's under Dirk Koetter. At one time people were scared to play Boise.

 

[mavericksouth]

If Miami was smart they'd target Peterson.

Fixed it for you.
