Reddit post about Bryan Harsin

I was surprised to see pretty much every other fanbase think that Harsin is ass as a coach. I'll post some notable highly upvoted quotes from our rival fans and Boise fans:

LSU/Georgia fan:

Barring a recruiting coup, he has to go regardless. Under 10 blue chips is just not an acceptable talent level for Auburn, and another year is just going to make the rebuild even longer. Plus, it's not like this is an anomaly for him. Last year was also a bad recruiting class. I don't know if Auburn can afford the buyout and doing this with no AD isn't...great to say the least, but it'd be a justified firing.

Boise fan:

He's not a good coach. All of these same issues were prevalent at BSU. The record looks good, but once you start looking at the losses it gets ugly really fast. In 2015, we lose to USU with 7 first-half turnovers, we have back-to-back losses at home to New Mexico and Air Force. In 2016, we move to 0-3 against Air Force in his tenure and get the brakes beaten off of us against Baylor. In 2017, we blow a 21-point lead with 8 minutes to go in the 4th to lose against Wazzu, get boat raced by Virginia at home and are never competitive against Fresno. In 2018, we have a pair of blocked punts off of the same scheme against Oklahoma State and get destroyed, have a completely lackluster game against SDSU a couple of weeks later, beat #14 Utah State, but then have the same herky-jerky offense we struggled with the next week against Fresno. 2019 was better, but we lose to BYU playing a 3rd string QB and get blown out by UW in the bowl game. Harsin's teams could be incredible. They could be completely unprepared. More often than not, they were just meh and barely got the job done against very inferior talent.

Wisconsin fan:

Auburn fans, be honest......did anyone on the Plains think this hire was going to pan out from the get go?

VT fan:

Lazy hires at Auburn & Colorado are going about as expected

Boise fan:

Harsin is a ****ing asshole, and 90% of BSU's issues stem from him. Our O-line got progressively worse over the years, the offense moved to a super bland, predictable run-run-pass scheme, our defense got worse every year after Avalos left, WRs failed to develop, he had to run a 2 QB system for 4 years bc he couldn't figure out how to manage Rypien, etc. Harsin is a stubborn prick and likes to hire yes men that won't stand up to him. He left BSU in a crappy situation with players that he couldn't develop. All of the stuff Auburn fans said about Gus is 100% true with Harsin. They just traded one set of problems with a nice guy for the same set of problems with a dickhead. I know people that know Harsin well and have a personal connection with him. The dude just ****ing sucks.

There was a BSU fan on here that said he's involved in media and has worked with both Les Moonves and Harsin. Harsin was somehow even a bigger asshole than Les Moonves

I don't think the backlash for firing Harsin would be that bad tbh
