No, they got rid of that rule. How do you think we got Max Johnson from LSU?Stupid@17 said:
Won't he have to sit out a year because its within conference?

Bryan Harsin isn't bringing his Boise State offense to Auburn. He's not installing longtime SEC assistant Mike Bobo's offense either.
Auburn's first-year head coach plans to work with Bobo and his new assistants on the offensive side of the ball to build an Auburn offense that stands on its own.
"I think the philosophies that he and I both have at the quarterback position as far as the offensive philosophies, those mesh," Harsin said. "And then what we're trying to do now to blend those ideas and bring this offense to Auburn that we want to create."

He'd be a huge upgrade over Finley, which isn't saying much.

I find it hard to believe that Calzada is a huge upgrade over anyone

Among the names that were floated as candidates to be Auburn football's new offensive coordinator, Austin Davis was perhaps the most curious. Auburn knows the least about him, and his background is entirely in the NFL.
But that makes the 32-year-old an intriguing hire, as well. The flashiest names aren't always the best hires, and Auburn coach Bryan Harsin was allured by Davis from afar despite never having worked together.
What does this hire mean for the future of Auburn's offense?
Quote:
The biggest unknown about this hire is how Harsin and Davis will delegate responsibilities between each other. There's no precedent for Davis as a play-caller or in any role similar to this. Harsin has a reputation for preferring to keep some play-calling jurisdiction to himself, though. In that context, the hire makes sense: Harsin could take over play-calling while Davis oversees the offense and uses his NFL experience to work closely with quarterbacks on their development.
Quote:
In Harsin's eight years as a head coach, he has never been a solo play-caller and has always had an offensive coordinator at least somewhat involved but Harsin's teams use his terminology and philosophy.
"Coach Harsin likes an upbeat, a tempo type of offense, which I love," quarterback T.J. Finley said. "Getting guys lined up, shifts and motions and things of that nature, getting them crisp."
LinkQuote:
So if Davis was in fact hired primarily to be a quarterback whisperer, he will acquire a position group in limbo. Three-year starter Bo Nix entered the transfer portal Monday and will not return to Auburn. LSU transfer T.J. Finley, who started Auburn's final two games with Nix injured, is a candidate to start next season. He was 51-for-91 (56%) with 600 yards in his first year as a Tiger. Auburn also has reaffirmed quarterback commitments from freshman Dematrius Davis and 2022 recruit Holden Geriner.
But the element of mystery is whether Davis is a compelling enough figure to attract other transferring quarterbacks to Auburn this offseason. That might have been Harsin's hope, given Davis' work with Wilson. But again, there's no precedent to determine Davis' powers of persuasion. His recruiting chops might be tested early by how effectively he can pull out of the portal.

I like Zach and want him to succeed somewhere
Auburn ain't it. Dematrius Davis is a stud and will win that QB job.

His inability to complete any touch passes aside, Calzada couldn't scramble if his life depended on it. Outside of the one good late run that he against Bama, he inevitably would trip over his own feet whenever he had open field. Very little balance to keep upright.... so maddening to watch time after time!
Dude was tough and a competitor... I will give him that.

That sounds like a bad fit.
Harsin's offense is almost as complex as jimbos and asks the QB to hang in the pocket. This is especially true of an immobile QB who cannot throw on the roll well.
Plus, we have a better OL and better weapons.
Calzadas problem is handling pressure. He would be better served going somewhere with either a great OL or that lets him make less reads and get it out quicker.
It's not like Jimbo's offense is getting raves from any circles...A recent 3rd down comes to mind...aggiehawg said:SinKiller said:I'm not sure you know what you're saying...aggiehawg said:

Of course he fired Bobo. So now what?

My point being is that Harsin had his offensive scheme at Boise for several years. Balanced run.pass with HUNH thrown in. Gets to Auburn, hires Bobo and changes that up a bit. Fires Bobo and now hires a youngish NFL guy primarily known as Russell Wilson's QB Whisperer.SinKiller said:It's not like Jimbo's offense is getting raves from any circles...A recent 3rd down comes to mind...aggiehawg said:SinKiller said:I'm not sure you know what you're saying...aggiehawg said:
