The Auburn football program is eight months into the Bryan Harsin era, and eight months removed from the years of Gus Malzahn, who was fired by Auburn last December. He didn’t stay unemployed for long before accepting the head coaching position at the University of Central Florida.

Malzahn is not a bad football coach, but he wasn’t meeting the standards of the Auburn community anymore. That being said, many were sad to see him go.
