Bryan Harsin has been fired as Auburn’s football coach, the school announced on Monday.
The program’s move comes as no surprise after Auburn suffered a 41-27 loss to Arkansas on Saturday afternoon. The Tigers were outscored 24-14 in the second half on the way to their fifth loss of the season.
Much speculation had arisen about Harsin’s future with the program during the offseason, and the heat was cranked up after a lackluster overtime win against Missouri on Sept. 24. His job security only became more precarious with a 21–17 loss to LSU—a game in which Auburn held a 17-point lead in the second quarter—followed by a 42–10 loss to Georgia and then a 48-34 defeat to Ole Miss last week.
