WATCH: Bryan Harsin attends Auburn basketball game against Texas A&M
After a tumultuous 10 days on the Plains, Bryan Harsin is staying on as Auburn head coach. To celebrate, he apparently decided to take in the Tigers’ basketball game against Texas A&M in front of the student section.
ESPN’s camera captured Harsin firing up the Auburn student section early in the first half of the pivotal matchup. Not only is it a big conference game, but it’s also the AUtlive game to raise awareness for cancer.
Questions and rumors swirled about Harsin’s future as Auburn football coach after just one year at the helm. After the SEC coaches meetings and an investigation into the program, the Tigers announced Harsin is staying in his role despite a tumultuous couple weeks. He was all smiles at the game on Saturday, cheering on the Auburn basketball team alongside some of his players and the student section at the Jungle.

ESPN reported the news Friday morning, and Auburn made it official later in the day. Questions and rumors swirled about Harsin’s job status in the wake of transfers, coaching changes and a quiet National Signing Day.
“The nature of these concerns compelled a fact-finding review,” Auburn president Jay Gogue said in a statement. “To do nothing would have been an abdication of the university’s responsibilities.
“Over the past week, my administration conducted that review. It included meetings and interviews with current and former football coaching and administrative staff, numerous players, university administrators and other individuals who offered perspective on the issues that had been raised. To be clear, this process, which was never individual- or outcome-specific, did not yield information that should change the status of our coaching staff or football program.”
