Auburn has finally fired their square peg head coach.
When Auburn hired Bryan Harsin back in December 2020, it came with much befuddlement from outside the AU Administration walls. Nothing about his background, personality, or record made this look like a good fit. He was winning double digits at Boise but it was still a dropoff from the Chris Petersen era. he had no recruiting or SEC ties.
After firing Gus Malzahn, Auburn thought they could do better. They were a bit nonplussed to get a plethora of “no thank yous” from coaches such as Billy Napier and Brent Venables.
