I don't think Auburn had a clue what they were doing after they fired Gus. They did make a run at Cristobal and Napier, but I think some of their big check writers (Rane and Harbert) actually wanted Steele. Bill Clark (UAB coach) was also named.Didnt Auburn make a hard run at this guy before settling for Harsin?

Auburn rivals Tennessee in administrative incompetence. They are not quite as dysfunctional, but close. It's amazing they have been as successful as they have been over the last 10-15 years, especially when you consider Saban is their in-state rival.I mean I understand why they fired Gus, but their whole search was just a complete crap show. It's like they learned bad things from watching UT go through all those searches.
Pay obscene buyout-check
Not have "the guy" already in back pocket before firing-check
Get publicly turned down by multiple coaches-check
Finally settle on your fifth or sixth coach on your list and claim he was always the top target -check
Repeat the whole process in a few years
I really should have been an AD.
