The inevitable finally happened on Halloween. Bryan Harsin was fired by Auburn.
Sharks swirled around the Tigers’ head football coach throughout the offseason, but the former Boise State coach clung on for two-thirds of the 2022 campaign. Now 3-5 with just one win in SEC play — albeit a lucky one against Missouri — Harsin will collect approximately $15 million to not coach on The Plains ever again.
In the midst of the fallout folks scrambled to create lists of candidates. Of course, Coach Prime, Lane Kiffin and Matt Rhule were among the firsts on many hot boards.
