Auburn football HC Bryan Harsin has been killing the game lately on social media — having hilariously trolled another SEC program, showed off his game-ready physique, and ranked No. 1 by Barrett Sallee for SEC coaches that would win in a fight.
SEC coaches ranked by who would win in a fight:

1. Bryan Harsin
2. Clark Lea
3. Mark Stoops
4. Kirby Smart
5. Billy Napier
6. Shane Beamer

8. Lane Kiffin
9. Eli Drinkwitz
10. Josh Heupel
11. Jimbo Fisher

Regarding the first point, Harsin shared a photo of himself and Auburn basketball HC Bruce Pearl, who recently returned after the Tigers’ three-game tour of Israel, as a shot at the University of Kentucky.
For those who may have missed it, Wildcats hoops head coach John Calipari took a shot at the expense of the program’s athletic programs besides basketball in an interview with The Athletic’s Kyle Tucker.
Here’s what Calipari said (h/t New York Post):
"“And the reason is, this is a basketball school. It’s always been that. Alabama is a football school. So is Georgia. I mean, they are. No disrespect to our football team. I hope they win 10 games and go to bowls. At the end of the day, that makes my job easier and it makes the job of all of us easier. But this is a basketball school. And so we need to keep moving in that direction and keep doing what we’re doing.”"
This brought out the following response from Kentucky football HC Mark Stoops, who took exception to Coach Cal’s comments:
Basketball school? I thought we competed in the SEC? #4straightpostseasonwins https://t.co/xUoKmUeonH

As for Harsin’s guns getting their moment in the sun, the official Auburn football Twitter account shared a response to Sallee’s list calling him the No. 1 SEC coach that would win in a fight against his peers:
Our coach > your coach 😈 https://t.co/QOycUHfKQw pic.twitter.com/vBHMvJbPDp

It’s been a great run for Harsin on social media as his Tigers prepare for the 2022 opener in three weeks against Mercer.
