Auburn has hired Boise State's Bryan Harsin as its head coach, luring him away from his alma mater and into the SEC.
Auburn announced the hiring Tuesday evening. The 44-year-old Harsin is 69-19 with three Mountain West titles in seven seasons at Boise State, but winning in the SEC affords greater chances for playoff berths and national titles.
Harsin is replacing the fired Guz Malzahn for a second time. In 2013, Harsin took over at Arkansas State University after Malzahn left for Auburn.
The Auburn job is also sure to bring a major pay raise, though contract details for Harsin weren't immediately available.
