AUBURN – The Bryan Harsin era is in serious turmoil less than 14 months after he was hired.

Sources tell Auburn Live that people in positions of power are actively making their case to top level officials at Auburn University to relieve Bryan Harsin of his coaching duties “for cause.”

No final decisions have been made. There is no timetable for a decision to be made.

If Harsin were dismissed “for cause,” the university will not owe Harsin a buyout, which would have been 70 percent of the remaining amount on his contract (that’s approximately $12.8 million).

Harsin arrived at Auburn after seven seasons at Boise State. His record there was 69-19. Harsin went 6-7 in his first and only season at Auburn. It was certainly a rocky tenure.

After a close loss at then top-15 Penn State, Auburn rebounded and rose to No. 12 in the College Football Playoff rankings after beating top-25 Arkansas on the road and No. 10 Ole Miss at home. However, that’s when it all seemingly went wrong. The Tigers didn’t win again, losing five straight games, including blowing double-digit losses to Mississippi State, South Carolina and Alabama. Auburn also lost the bowl game to Houston after holding a lead in the fourth quarter.

Since the season’s end, 18 players have entered the transfer portal.

Harsin hired and fired receivers coach Cornelius Williams after four games. Mike Bobo was dismissed after one season as offensive coordinator. Nick Eason left to return to his alma mater Clemson. Derek Mason left to become the defensive coordinator at Oklahoma State, and Austin Davis left his position as the new offensive coordinator 43 days after he was hired.

Harsin and Co. finished their first full recruiting class with a No. 18 ranking according to the On3 Consensus team rankings. That’s the eighth best class in the SEC.
Yeah Harsin fukking up right now. Auburn fans was eating up that “culture” bullshyt he was talking about when he first got here too

I remember when he was at Texas he was known as a hard ass but a football savant. Is that same case here?
Yeah he’s running guys off. There were reports last summer that said he was a little too hard on his guys and Auburn fans was saying they should just “stop being soft” and they needed that “culture change” :unimpressed:

Just today I saw one Auburn fan on twitter compare him to Pat Dye and how he’s just trying to set the tone at Auburn.

At the time, there was a segment of the Texas fanbase that wanted him to succeed Mack for those exact reasons - he'll toughen up the program, etc. But that "I own" Boise State coaching style only works on 1 and 2 stars with no other options. You got to have some people skills to coach at this level.

The girl in question has "Assistant to the Head Coach and FB operations" on her Twitter title. She came from Boise with Harsin.

Philosophical questions: what possibly could that girl be adding to the football operations that he wouldn't immediately have to explain that hire to his wife/anyone else?
