Auburn football head coach Bryan Harsin holds a press conference after an open football practice at Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn, Ala., on Saturday, March 20, 2021.
I’d take an orange hat with a blue “AU” any day. Apparently, Auburn football head coach Bryan Harsin’s hat giveaway was not as well received by those present at practice today when the former Boise State coach gave one to each reporter.
The new lead sideline voice of the Tigers upset a few members of the Auburn press for the gesture.
Tom Green of AL.com wrote in his practice observations that he believed the hat was a way for Harsin to earn goodwill with the press in a somewhat manipulative fashion.
