The Auburn football coaching staff has filled every vacancy now that Bert Watts has been named the special teams coordinator/outside linebackers coach.

Bryan Harsin’s first (and, if all goes well, longtime) coaching staff is a mix of familiar faces from Boise State, opposing SEC schools, and holdovers from Gus Malzahn’s staff (and thus, familiar faces to those on the Plains).

I’m gonna miss T-Will as much as any position coach ever.
