Bryan Harsin enters his first year as the head coach for Auburn football with many questions and a lot of uncertainty surrounding what the on-field performance will be for the 2021 season. Many experts have given Harsin reasonable expectations for next season and has cited a roster that needs multiple upgrades across the board.

This has made many experts and fans wonder about the last time Auburn football brought in a new head coach, which was the 2013 season with Gus Malzahn. In that season, Malzahn led the Tigers to an SEC Championship and was 30 seconds away from winning the final BCS National Championship over Florida State in Pasadena, CA.
