I know it sounds crazy, but all coaches start somewhere. I think Harsin was / is just fine with X's and O's, and I would be fine with him being hired at ISU if Campbell left. However, I think Cadillac's passion for Auburn is also very, very important. I have no idea whether he would be a good hire long-term or not, but I definitely think that he is tapping into something that is important @ Auburn (and should be important at all schools). Iowa State experienced that in Basketball with Fred Hoiberg before he left to coach the Bulls. I say that as someone who was in school when he played.
When he was hired, I snickered because he had no coaching experience - even though I was a super fan of him from his playing days. He did just fine! He won Big Xii Tourmanents and took ISU to the Sweet 16 after a decade wandering in the Big Xii basketball desert. He did GREAT! I ran into him at a UT-Arlington game last year (he was there to watch his son play), and it was just a super cool thing. Cadillac was REAL tonight, and I LOVED it. I'm no Auburn fan, and I pull for them about once a decade. Tonight was one of those nights. I'm glad Cadillac got a win, and those kids ended their losing streak. Stating this as an ISU fan not a part-time !@#$ fan.
