Auburn football fans believe Bryan Harsin trolling by tweeting out Deion Sanders video
Auburn football fans couldn’t believe their eyes upon waking up October 13, logging onto Twitter, and seeing Bryan Harsin — whose seat is actively on fire following a 9-10 start to his Tigers head coaching tenure — retweet an inspirational speech from a man in the running to replace him on the Plains.
It wasn’t just anyone either. Harsin shared footage of perhaps the most desired head coaching candidate outside of Ole Miss’ Lane Kiffin — that being current Jackson State head coach Deion ‘Prime Time’ Sanders.
The video showed Sanders calling out his players for needing someone to take them by the hand and lead them instead of going out and earning what they believe they are owed. Whether that is a shot at Harsin’s own program, which has seen numerous transfers since his arrival with complaints about their role, is to be determined.
What isn’t TBD is how uncomfortable it made some fans feel, while others reveled in the potentially trolling glory of the current-but-seemingly-soon-to-be-ousted Auburn football lead locker-room voice:
I’m so uncomfortable right now.

Deion Sanders may be too SWAC to take the Auburn football head coaching job
Alabama State head coach Eddie Robinson Jr. may have done the trick keeping Deion Sanders from making the Power Five jump after he had a confrontation with ‘Prime Time’ midfield after Jackson State defeated his Hornets and Robinson subsequently called Sanders out for not being SWAC (Southwestern Athletic Conference).
Robinson created a situation where ditching the HBCU would be a bad look for Sanders, and the JSU Tigers head coach has responded by wearing SWAC apparel in an effort to thwart that perception.
With all of this SWAC hysteria reaching a fever pitch, the Auburn football head coaching job seems far less likely for Sanders at this point.
