Auburn’s wait is over, and the head coaching job has been filled. After more than a week of rumor, with Tiger fans waiting and waiting, Bryan Harsin was named the school’s newest head football coach.
He’ll be the school’s 27th full-time coach (not counting interims) in history. He’s the fourth coach since the turn of the millennium, and the sixth since the first expansion of the SEC in 1992.
