Auburn football head coach Bryan Harsin hands the ball off to Auburn running back Tank Bigsby (4) during warm ups before Auburn football A-Day spring game at Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn, Ala., on Saturday, April 17, 2021.
The last time Auburn football had a new head coach, the Tigers ended up taking a one-loss regular record into the National Championship game and coming within seconds of a second national championship in four years.
This time around, none of that is expected. Auburn is slated to finish in the bottom half of the SEC West, and a rough first year is a popular forecast for Bryan Harsin and his newly implemented coaching staff.
