Ladies and gentlemen, we have a new head coach. Auburn hired Bryan Harsin of Boise State on Tuesday, becoming the 27th head coach in Auburn history. Harsin leaves Boise State with a 69-19 coaching record and three Mountain West championships.
Needless to say, Auburn fans everywhere have been relieved and 99% are quite excited about the job. Let’s go on Twitter for reactions:

Harsin is a great QB developer and will have some talent in that room to work with https://t.co/24vP6iCAf2

For you @AuburnFootball fans who are too @Titani fans, McNichols, who is also behind Henry and is a good backup dang, is a Boise State / Harsin product. #WarEagle

The best thing about hiring Bryan Harsin is that he has absolutely nothing to do with Auburn and yet Auburn actually hired him. Isn’t that just inherently refreshing? Looks like Greene won over the boosters.

I’m on board with the Harsin rental. Others chose not to. He could have stayed in a safe concert at Boise State, but we invited him and he chose us.
Let’s make it our choice. Choose it. #WarEagle

The more I think about it, the more I like hiring. Unbound Auburn coach offensive coach ✅ head coach experience ✅ record winner as head coach ✅ he is not Kevin Steele ✅

Allen Greene, if you have Bryan Harsin, build your own statue.

You can get the coach out of Boise, but you can’t get Turf Smurf out of the coach!

I really like this hire of coach Harsin. He’s an alpha, he can’t stand the coach’s speech, he’s a heavy-nosed mf’er and he left his alma mater to come and win here. It’s time for Auburn to get some alpha energy and stop being the cute kid in the corner of the block where people throw stones.

Mare fan al @CoachHarsin
He has covered his teams several times. Concentrated. Physicality will not be a problem. Direction and organization always on time. The scheme can be successful in the SEC. The staff will obviously go a long way in determining how good the job is, but for now 👍🏼👍🏼

I love hiring and Harshin never came to mind. The staff will be really interesting to see coming together.

Auburn has been criticized for “Just Auburn Being Auburn” in the last 10 days because of Steele’s mess. He went and hired the most unfortunate coach possible. AKA: Something different. It’s a good thing. That coach has been very successful his entire career. Bryan Harsin is an excellent employee.

Honestly, I’m fine with hiring. Bring in some southern recruiters around him and let’s roll

He is 69-19 years old as head coach. That would be a nice job. https://t.co/gR6bJy12p3

Bryan Harsin, please don’t be a man, yes. Bring your own coaches. Hire who you need to hire, not who BOT thinks you need to hire.
BTW, @CoachWMuschamp is available if you need a good DC. Just saying’.

In fact, I really like Bryan Harsin. It was never on my radar as a legitimate option for obvious reasons and the match still seems strange. But he is younger, an offensive coach, with experience and success. Check the boxes. Let’s just hope he can recruit and build this.
– Company consultant search (@PabloEscobarner) December 23, 2020
Auburn’s QB Committee, @ Dematrius09, spoke. He approves of new employee Bryan Harsin: “69-19? He is a winner, so I am ready for him. “
