Bryan Harsin

Harsin spoke to the media on Thursday to open fall camp and said, "he'll be here tonight, he'll practice tomorrow. So we're aware of what's going on."

In the time since the embattled head coach turned up a goose egg on national signing day, a litany of rumors and allegations have flown around regarding Harsin’s treatment of players and staff as well as some of an extramarital affair with his assistant.

Trust us on this one, Auburn definitely hit a home run with this hire last year.

Derek Mason, who left Auburn several weeks ago, will reportedly be taking a massive pay cut of $400,000 at his new post at OSU, for a total of $1.1 million per year.

Harsin signed a 6-year, $30 million contract with the Tigers in 2021 and therefore has five years remaining on his contract. Should the Auburn administration be able to prove Harsin was involved in an inappropriate relationship the University could opt to fire him with cause, and thus save the roughly $18 million buyout he has remaining on his contract.

According to Justin Hokanson of On3 Sports, Auburn sophomore running back Tank Bigsby is expected to join Nix in the transfer portal.

The 86th Iron Bowl will officially kickoff on November 27th at 2:30 p.m. CST in Jordan-Hare Stadium.

Auburn’s Tony Fair made headlines Sunday when he tweeted that the Tigers were going to “comin to take the head off the ELEPHANT.”
