For a while, it didn’t look like Bryan Harsin would make it to the 2022 season as Auburn’s head coach. In the end, he did, but with a presumption that he wouldn’t survive the season hanging over his head. Now, following a blowout loss in Week 3 to Penn State and an overtime win over Missouri in Week 4, ESPN analyst Paul Finebaum says it’s over for Harsin.

Paul Finebaum made his comments while speaking to Greg McElroy and Cole Cubelic on McElroy and Cubelic in the Morning.

“I was watching that game on a plane,” Paul Finebaum said of the Auburn-Missouri game, “About 32,000 feet, which is good in this because there’s nowhere to go.”

“I don’t know what I would’ve done had I been in the stadium in the Auburn section or even worse on the Missouri sideline. I mean, look, there’s nothing else I can add in terms of the ineptitude. But, I just came away really depressed about both programs and the future of both programs,” Paul Finebaum said.

“To me, the Bryan Harsin conversation has nowhere to go. It’s over for Bryan Harsin. He has made no compelling argument to keep his job.”

Simply put, Paul Finebaum thinks there is no light at the end of the tunnel for Bryan Harsin at Auburn. You know you want to fire him. He knows it’s coming. So, rip off the bandage.

“You can celebrate a win and scream, ‘War Eagle,’ but watch his coaching during that game. It was sad, and on the other sideline, why waste the time?”

Paul Finebaum says Auburn is looking to the future

This wasn’t the first time that Paul Finebaum was critical of Bryan Harsin. He has been so on numerous occasions. Last week, also while speaking to McElroy and Cubelic, he explained that Auburn was already looking past Harsin and into the future.

“I also had a chance to meet Rich McGlynn Saturday morning and other people connected to the Auburn program — he’s the interim AD — and it just seemed like Friday and even into Saturday most of the talk was on the future,” Paul Finebaum said.
