Barn's Harsin may be in trouble

[Chechem]

A coworker who is a Barner who somehow gets some inside info, actually a really good guy in fact, is saying today that Awbren supposedly made Harsin an offer so they can part ways peacefully but he told them to pound sand... I suppose time will tell...

You mean he actually don't want the buyout? Wow, that is crazy. RTR!

IKR? Somebody actually WANTING to stay at Awbren? 

Actually, what it means is that Harsin knows he has Aubarn by the short hairs and the only way he leaves is if they give him the full buy out. I don't believe for a second he had an affair - think of the timing (right before a new president was named). I think they threw that in to see if it would stick, and when it didn't have traction, they started interviewing players and coaches to try and get dirt. They have made the decision to get rid of him - they are trying to save a few bucks.

This sounds right to me.  With each passing day Harsin's 'hand' is strengthened.

As for the girl caught up in this story, I hope she's talking with a good lawyer and planning several libel cases.  She could make a few bucks herself.

This is the best way to destroy a program is from the inside. RTR!

The AU vs. Harsin beat goes on.  I think we all better stock up on popcorn.

To me, this looks like AU trying to set up a policy that it can use to fire Harsin for cause if he is found to be uncooperative in their investigation. Never mind what he did or didn't do.  This makes if all about the process of the investigation.

But this can easily blow up on AU.  It gives Harsin a way to drag this out, and every day this goes on is bad for AU.  Harsin can drag this on through spring ball if he wants to.  Imagine what that would be like for the players and ass't coaches.  And how can AU coaches have any serious recruiting conversation?  The longer this goes, it increases the likelihood that more players will transfer.

To be continued.....

Wow this would put this football in dangerous grounds of not winning any games next year. RTR!

Keep that popcorn coming!!  ESPN (maybe) beginning to realize the mess AU has gotten itself into.

Is that sarcasm toward Harsin? RTR!

What would Brian Kelly know about sweet tea and biscuits??

Harsin is staying.
Translation: they offered a buyout for less money and he told them to stick it. They can’t afford $18 million after Gus’ payout, so they’re stuck.

I don't think much of J Goodman as a writer -- he usually goes over the top while stating the obvious --  but he hits most of the salient points here.

IMHO, Harsin comes out a winner: He stared down the alumni mob and the AU admin, and for whatever reason, they backed down. 

To me, a big looser is the FB team.  They'll probably rally around Harsin but it will take more than that to win games in the SEC.

Well auburn wins in my opinion. Auburn would not have found another coach after this fiasco. RTR!

I respectfully disagree Preacher. Harsin thumbed his nose at the Auburn mob the entire time. He knew they wouldn't find anything on him, and basically told them to go pound sand. I have a new respect for the guy. Well......except that he actually WANTS to stay at the barn.

His career is shot, though.  He can't recruit now (especially), and he's got a bunch of 2-3 stars.  How can he go anywhere else now?
