The Auburn football program has had the darkest of clouds hovering over the program in the last week, and the situation could only be starting to unfold.
There are vicious rumors slandering the character of Auburn football head coach Bryan Harsin we refuse to acknowledge until proven verifiable.
It has led both former and current players to weigh in. At times things have gotten ugly.
Lee Hunter said Harsin treated the players like animals. Smoke Monday groaned about Harsin’s inability to learn everyone’s parents’ names. Kobe Hudson said he’d be on the first bus back to Auburn if Gus Malzahn was brought back.
An army of returning seniors has led the counter-charge while the Class of 2022 has spoken out in support of Harsin.
There’s a civil war going on in the Auburn family. And it could have a tragic ending for a program that is losing ground in the state and across the Deep South in recruiting.
Jake ‘Jboy’ Crain believes this current drama will be the ending to the Bryan Harsin era for the Tigers:
Looking like we were correct in saying Harsin wouldn’t survive this ordeal. As I said in the show regardless of what side you are on the biggest loser in this is Auburn as a whole. https://t.co/8mH4hMIk74

And that this all sets up the return of a polarizing figure on the Plains:
Not sure Brian wants to go the college route. Scary thing is this is setting up for Kevin Steele. Which makes me nauseous

Jboy was responding to a question about Brian Flores’ chances of ending up with Auburn after his own controversy in the NFL that could well burn all the pro football bridges he had left.
Steele continues to be a name mentioned alongside the Auburn football head coaching job. Stay tuned to Fly War Eagle to see how this situation progresses.
