Auburn fans ready to help pay Bryan Harsin’s buyout after being blown out by Penn State

Being blown out by Penn State at home was definitely the final straw for many Auburn football fans who want nothing more to do with Bryan Harsin.

No. 22 Penn State arrived at Jordan-Hare Stadium as a 2.5-point favorite, so there was never a victory guaranteed for Auburn on Saturday.

There’s just a huge difference between losing a tight one to a ranked opponent and being smothered 42-12 on your home field.

So head coach Bryan Harsin is not exactly a popular figure in Auburn right now.

In fact, the second-year head coach is arguably on the hottest seat in college football now that Nebraska has put Scott Frost out of his misery.

If Auburn fans had their way, Harsin would quickly follow Frost as the second college football head coach fired this September.

Harsin, who found success as the head coach at Boise State, went 6-7 in his SEC debut last year. Despite getting just one year at the helm, there was already talk over the offseason that Auburn power brokers were considering dumping him.

At this point, it’s irrelevant whether those rumblings created a self-fullfilling prophecy or they correctly assumed things wouldn’t be getting better. The fact is Harsin is likely going to be playing for his job each and every week this season.

Auburn is 2-1 with wins over Mercer and San Jose State, the latter coming by a narrow margin. They’ll host Missouri and LSU before heading on the road to face No. 1 Georgia. If Penn State could destroy this team by 30, Tiger fans should shudder to think what the Bulldogs could do.
