Auburn Tigers football coach Bryan Harsin 'not planning on going anywhere' amid program's volatility

As university leaders scrutinize the struggles of first-year Auburn football coach Bryan Harsin amid an exodus of players and coaches, he told ESPN he's committed to the school for the long term.

"I'm the Auburn coach, and that's how I'm operating every day," Harsin told ESPN in a lengthy interview late Thursday night. "I want this thing to work, and I've told our players and told everybody else there is no Plan B. I'm not planning on going anywhere. This was and is the job. That's why I left the one I was in, to come here and make this place a championship program and leave it better than I found it.
