Fox Sports’s Bruce Feldman reported on Saturday that there was a belief that Auburn coach Bryan Harsin could have been fired if his team fell to Missouri on Saturday afternoon.
“If they get beat today by Missouri, I’m told there’s a really good chance they could pull the plug on Harsin as early as tomorrow,” Feldman said. “It’s felt like a real inevitability that he will get let go at some point this year.”
The reasoning made sense. Auburn got embarrassed at home against Penn State last Saturday, and losing to a mediocre Missouri team would likely signal the end of a tenure that never garnered full support of Auburn brass.
