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

Harsin is a big time QB developer & he will have some talent in that room to work with https://t.co/24vP6iCAf2

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

The best thing about hiring Bryan Harsin is that he has absolutely no prior connection to Auburn and yet Auburn actually hired him. Isn’t that just inherently refreshing? It feels like Greene won out over boosters.

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

Make sure to keep your Twitter commentary civil, Auburn fans, otherwise Coach Harsin might hit you with a ‘Twitiot’ pic.twitter.com/mMu6cVH1s7

The more I think about it the more I like the hire. No Auburn ties ✅ offensive coach ✅ head coaching experience ✅ winning record as a head coach ✅ he’s not Kevin Steele ✅

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

I really like this hire of Coach Harsin. He’s an alpha, doesn’t put up with the coach speak, is a hard nosed mf’er, and left his alma mater to come win here. It’s time for auburn to get some alpha energy and stop being the nice kid at the corner of the block people throw rocks at
— #freesharife Barstool Auburn (@WarDamnStool) December 22, 2020
Big fan of @CoachHarsin
Covered his teams multiple times. Focused. Physicality will not be an issue. Direction & organization always on point. Scheme can be successful in the SEC. The staff will obviously go a long way in determining just how good the hire is, but for now 👍🏼👍🏼
— Cole Cubelic (@colecubelic) December 22, 2020
Love the hire and Harshin never once came to mind. Staff is going to be really interesting to see come together.
— Auburn Basketball Fan (@wilburchurchill) December 22, 2020
Auburn got criticized for “Just Auburn Being Auburn” for the last 10 days due to the Steele mess. It went and hired the most un-Auburn coach possible. AKA: Something different. That’s a good thing. That coach has been a big success his entire career. Bryan Harsin is a great hire.

I’m honestly okay with the hire. Get some southern recruiters around him and let’s roll

He’s 69-19 as a head coach. Would be a nice hire. https://t.co/gR6bJy12p3

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

I actually like Bryan Harsin a lot. It was never on my radar as a legitimate option for obvious reasons and the fit still seems weird. But he’s younger, an offensive-minded coach, experienced, and successful. He checks the boxes. Let’s just hope he can recruit and build this.
— Search Firm Consultant (@PabloEscobarner) December 23, 2020
Auburn’s QB commit, @Dematrius09, has spoken. He approves of new hire Bryan Harsin: “69-19? He’s a winner so I’m ready for him.”
