'I counted out Harsin back in February, but I’m rooting for the guy to succeed,' columnist Joseph Goodman writes.
Auburn lost its last five football games of the 2021 season, and then it got worse after that. There was a mass exodus of players in the weeks following Auburn’s loss to Houston in the Birmingham Bowl. During that time, over a dozen players left the program and so did a handful of coaches. Offensive coordinator Mike Bobo was fired, and then the guy hired to replace him never showed up.
And so on the eve of SEC Media Days, we have the world’s most famous college football booster, Auburn alum Charles Barkley, pleading in public for the Auburn fan club’s overzealous actors to leave the football coach alone and please let him just try and do his job. We’ll see. For now, anyway, the team appears to be galvanized by its own furnace of freak-dom.
“What came out of that inquiry were a lot of positives,” Harsin said. “There was a silver lining in all of this. What I saw from our players and our coaches was leadership opportunities for them to step up, which is exactly what they did. You got a chance to see guys provide leadership. You got a chance to see coaches provide leadership.
It’s going to take a strong voice and a strong coach to survive at Auburn. To win, it’s going to take even more than that, though. It’s going to take sustained unity, and I still don’t think Harsin is the person for that job.
