Current Cleveland Guardians and former Auburn Tigers starting pitcher Tanner Burns isn’t taking part in any Auburn football head coaching conversation involving Bryan Harsin, already talking about who could be the next HC in the seat.
Burns endorsed Lane Kiffin for the job and even tagged the Ole Miss coach in a response to the Auburn BSS page tweeting out that ‘Auburn packed the house vs a crappy Mizzou team at an 11 am kickoff just 1 week after getting their backs blown out by James Franklin…the environments are not comparable in any way shape or form.’
According to Burns, Kiffin is the perfect fit for the Tigers’ head coaching job — ignoring the second-year HC leading Auburn football into battle against SEC West rival LSU and gunning for its first three-game winning streak over the Bayou Bengals this century:

Auburn football Head Coach Bryan Harsin has lost support of the fanbase
The Auburn football faithful have turned their backs on Bryan Harsin after a head-scratching fourth down play-call in the fourth quarter with under two minutes left against Missouri. In fact, many had already checked out after a 41-12 destruction at the hands of the Penn State Nittany Lions Week 3.
A former Auburn baseball player now at the highest level of pro baseball completely dismissing Harsin is a tremendously bad look for the Auburn football program, but it is in line with what Paul Finebaum said about the conversation regarding Harsin having nowhere to go.
If there’s a future for Harsin on the Plains, it’s tough to see right now. Winning against LSU begins to turn the tide, but with defending national champions Georgia hosting AU in its first road game of the 2022 season, it could simply be a matter of time before the Boise native is dismissed by interim AD Rich McGlynn — or potential Allen Greene permanent replacement John Hartwell from Utah State — and the Tigers begin their hunt for a new head coach.
