Analyst brutally eviscerates Bryan Harsin: ‘So extraordinarily pathetic that it is almost laughable’
Rivals’ Brian Stultz brought the heaviest of metaphorical artillery in what can only be described as an act of verbal violence in describing former Auburn football head coach Bryan Harsin’s disgraced tenure on the Plains — saying it was “so extraordinarily pathetic that it is almost laughable.”
“I was done writing about Bryan Harsin,” Stultz prefaced regarding Harsin’s recent admission to ESPN that he and his family were harassed upon his October 31 firing before saying, “He left Auburn six months ago after a 21-month tenure that was so extraordinarily pathetic that it is almost laughable.”
Bryan Harsin had to spit on Auburn one last time.

It's no surprise that the coach still considers himself a victim and will barely accept his role for failures on the Plains. That's who he is.

Sheesh. Stultz echoed what many in the Auburn football fanbase felt regarding Harsin’s recent interview with ESPN’s Chris Low, and in a way that should resonate with the fanbase who reads the Auburn Creed and seemingly saw the opposite of its text from their ex.
Auburn football analyst: Bryan Harsin refused to win over Tigers’ fanbase
Stultz sees Harsin’s errors and victim mentality as particularly egregious given his cardinal sin of not giving back to a Tigers fanbase that routinely gives their all to Auburn football, and every other AU athletics program for that matter.
“Victim? Please,” wrote a fed-up Stultz. “He’s living the good life right now after getting a buyout that 99 percent of us can only dream about, while Auburn is trying to pick up the pieces from his negligence and outright refusal to try to win over a fan base that supports the Tigers with passion and vigor.”
To say that the already planet-sized schism between Harsin and the Auburn family has grown galaxy-sized is an understatement. As the years go by, there will only be uglier revelations from a period of time on the Plains that was such a train wreck, the entire nation couldn’t turn away despite AU’s irrelevance in the standings. And the crazier things get, the spicier the takes will be.
When it just means more, the deeper the cut is, the stronger the backlash becomes.
