Auburn football: Twitter keeps linking Bryan Harsin and Nebraska
Auburn football HC Bryan Harsin, for some reason, has been one of the more popular names that have been mentioned in the aftermath of Nebraska letting go of head coach Scott Frost — this following a 16-31 record overall and a 10-26 record overall during a four-year (and three-game) stint in Lincoln.
The final straw for Frost was the loss to Georgia Southern this past weekend, which moved the Cornhuskers to 1-2 on the season. That includes a heartbreaking down-to-the-wire loss as a 13-point favorite to Northwestern during a Week Zero matchup in Dublin, Ireland. After bringing a recognized national championship to UCF in 2017 via a victory over Auburn football in the Peach Bowl, Frost proved to be a disastrous hire for a Nebraska program that fired him before the buyout would have been reduced in October.
Harsin has led the Tigers to a 2-0 record this season, moving his overall record as Auburn football HC to 8-7. That’s the first time since November Harsin had a winning record on the Plains, though Nebraska’s Big Ten brethren Penn State could knock Auburn down to .500 this Saturday.
If Bryan Harsin is let go by Auburn football, Twitter seems to think he is an option for Nebraska
The ‘twitiots,’ as Bryan Harsin calls them, seem to be wanting to manifest a move for the Boise man to return far closer to his home, though still a 15-hour drive from southwest Idaho. Here were some of the links (and stretches) being made on Twitter:
If I’m Nebraska, you need to look at guys like Liepold. What will probably happen is they will hire someone like Bryan Harsin who is looking to jump because your hiring a guy at a more higher profile school and rinse and repeat in 3-4 years.

I think I speak for about 99.9% of Auburn alumni when I say that Nebraska hiring Bryan Harsin is a wonderful idea and they should do it immediately.
