Analysis: This Bryan Harsin-Auburn football mess will end in one of two ways

The five-game losing streak Auburn football endured to end the 2021 season pales in comparison to the mess unfolding this offseason.

AU has pinned itself into a corner as it continues evaluating coach Bryan Harsin’s future. Auburn officials are “collecting information from a variety of perspectives” before deciding Harsin’s fate, the school announced Monday.

Perhaps the only thing less appealing than firing a coach in February, just 14 months after ousting the previous coach, is retaining a divisive coach whose future has been scrutinized by AU’s administration and whose leadership style has been publicly criticized by multiple former players.
