Auburn looking like a dumpster fire

[kingofnerf]

I was always pulling for Muschamp. I liked the guy, and really thought he would have learned, and not made the same mistakes here that he did in Florida, but apparently not. I also think toning his personality down helped ruin him here.

I agree that he never really was allowed to live up to the Boom nickname here.

The lump sum buy-out seemed really out of the ordinary to me. It has made me think that the people representing him made a strong case that he was not given an environment/structure that he could be competitive in. I think toning him down may have been part of that, but I don't know.

The Barn is burning down. This whole smear campaign was run by boosters and BOT. They never wanted Harsin. One faction wanted Steele and the other Freeze. Muschump could have been a compromise but now it looks like Harsin will be retained. A giant cluster and it could not happen to a better place than tatertown on the plains

Let's compare his time at UF and USC. I am not including interim and new head coaches.

Say what you will, but you can't take that SEC East title in 2012 or the SEC COTY award away from him.

Will does okay in the 3-year coaching window that seems to have become the norm these days.
