Can Auburn recover from Coach Bryan Harsin? Sports columnist JoeGoodmanJr looks back at Auburn coaching history to see if there's a way back.
Here’s what people are worried about with Harsin. It’s that his desolation of Auburn football is the beginning of some dark age for the Tigers. Is there a path back into the light after this season? These are valid fears, but history points to hope.
In 1976, Barfield’s first season, Georgia won the SEC championship. Alabama won the next three and also claimed national championships in 1978 and 1979. Georgia of course won it all in 1980 , and then Clemson, with Alabama native Danny Ford as the coach, went 12-0 in 1981 and was awarded the national championship for that season.
Harsin was hired in December of 2020 and Alabama won a national championship a few weeks later. Georgia won it all in 2021, and last week smoked Auburn 42-10. It was bad. Harsin attempted a fake punt in the first quarter with the game tied. Auburn was at its own 34-yard line. There’s no telling what he’ll try against Lane Kiffin’s Ole Miss, but Harsin’s coaching decisions are like watching a 12-year-old kid on a sugar binge play Madden NFL at 3:30 in the morning.
Behind the scenes, Auburn can no longer waste time with its political in-fighting. It needs to impress a good coach with a strong plan for success … that maybe also includes an NIL war chest a la Texas A&M.
