College football coaching buzz: Ranking open Power 5 jobs and rating interim coaches

A relatively calm stretch of the coaching carousel was interrupted Monday with a surprise announcement of an unsurprising decision at Auburn.

Bryan Harsin's fate as Auburn coach had been sealed weeks ago, likely after the Tigers blew a 17-0 lead against LSU and lost 21-17 at Jordan-Hare Stadium. Some would argue Harsin entered the season with no chance to return, even after surviving a university inquiry back in February.

He's gone officially now. Two days after the team's fourth straight loss -- and with new athletic director John Cohen about to be officially hired -- Auburn fired Harsin, not even mentioning his name in announcing the change.
