Auburn football: Bryan Harsin’s pranks fans for April Fools

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.

If you had to double-take this morning when digesting Auburn football’s tweeted picture of Bryan Harsin in front of a Boise State-branded blue and orange practice field, well, April Fools to you.

In celebration of the annual “holiday”, Harsin and the Tigers Twitter account coordinated a ruse to get fans wondering if a gaffe was made by the social media team.

The prank, while humorous, also conjures up an uncomfortable feeling that Harsin still has his heart in Idaho after spending his collegiate quarterback career with the Broncos and winning three Mountain West championships at BSU.
