AUBURN, Ala. -- John Cohen carries around a sheet of paper with a list 58 items long mostly comprising qualities he wants in an Auburn football coach and things to ask them.
There's no question regarding the No. 1 priority for Auburn's new athletic director: Finding a new football coach to replace Bryan Harsin, ousted hours before Cohen's own hiring was announced. And finding someone who fits better than Harsin, an outside-the-box hire from Boise State who won only nine of his 21 games and didn't survive to the end of his second season.
