Phil Steele believes that Auburn football will improve from their mediocre 6-5 record of the 2021 season, something that is vital for Bryan Harsin in his first year as a head coach. Though most expect the Tigers to have a seven or eight-win season, there are also those who expect to see Auburn get beaten down by many of their SEC opponents.
It is technically a year of rebuilding due to the coaching change that saw Gus Malzahn take up residence in Orlando, FL, but Harsin isn’t necessarily inheriting a bad hand.
