Alabama Newscenter — Coach Bryan Harsin Ready To Make Himself At Home At Auburn

By Kevin Scarbinsky

Fun fact about new Auburn football coach Bryan Harsin: He is one of only two head coaches in the Southeastern Conference who never spent a day in the SEC as a player or a coach before taking his current job.

The other, Kentucky’s Mark Stoops, didn’t travel quite as far to get here. He prepped for three years as the defensive coordinator at Florida State, which is as SEC as it gets despite living in the ACC. Stoops, heading into his ninth season with UK, has made himself at home. He’s second in the conference in longevity behind Alabama’s Nick Saban. So there’s long-range hope for Harsin heading into his first game on the Plains.

Scratch that. He has been here before. When Akron visits Auburn to open the 2021 season Sept. 4, it won’t be the first time Harsin has experienced a game day in Jordan-Hare Stadium. It will be the first time he’s done it while stalking the home sideline.
