Auburn football fans debate whether Tigers HC role is hardest CFB job
Auburn football HC Bryan Harsin may have the toughest job in college football. At least a majority of Tiger fans voiced such an opinion Saturday morning when Jake Crain of Crain & Company shared his.
According to Crain, competition, history, and expectations are Auburn’s undoing year in and year out.
It was an opinion shared by several Tiger fans, though some can’t seem to look past Vanderbilt disappointing an average of 35,000 fans on a given Nashville Saturday.
Here were some of the reactions to Crain’s Auburn football HC job take:
This guy is so right. The Booster need to start being behind the program and not taking over the program https://t.co/Ct9P8S1WEi

what’s interesting is that despite all the inherit challenges, Auburn is also positioned uniquely (talent-rich locale, rabid fans, history, demand for success) to overcome them
but, there has to be consistency in the approach, not unhinged panic every four years https://t.co/OjhB6Gnx0F
He ain’t wrong.

Auburn’s 3 biggest rivals have won the NC each of the last 3 years. https://t.co/cHyEqfNg2Y
100%. Don’t even think it’s close either. And it’s mostly because of the rivalry, which people that live outside of the state can never fully understand.

Just a different animal.
Agree. Additionally, Slive made a choice to look the other way and give our biggest rival a cart blanche recruiting and retention scheme. So an 8-4 coach became the greatest coach of all time.(And 8-4 was his average record before the ‘08 class, which featured 6 1st rounders).

Auburn football perennially has the toughest schedule in college football
Year in and year out, the Tigers have the toughest strength of schedule of any college football program in the NCAA.
The most difficult college football job is ultimately an arbitrary argument, but if we’re talking purely what opponents are the toughest to topple, the Tigers have that all clinched up and then some.
