Bryan Harsin trolls Auburn following Iron Bowl loss to Alabama football

Former Auburn head coach Bryan Harsin took to social media to troll his old program following their 27-24 loss to Alabama in the Iron Bowl. Harsin, who was fired in early 2023 after a tumultuous tenure that included a 9-12 overall record, posted a subtle but pointed message on Twitter following the game.

In the tweet, Harsin shared a photo of himself wearing a grin, paired with the caption, “Nice to see Auburn making progress.” The image and comment sparked mixed reactions among Auburn fans and college football observers. While some saw it as a lighthearted jab, others viewed it as a more pointed critique of the program’s struggles under interim head coach Cadillac Williams and its ongoing issues with leadership, recruiting, and overall consistency.

Harsin’s time at Auburn was marked by frustration and underperformance. He never seemed to fully connect with the fanbase or the players, and his teams frequently underachieved, especially in high-profile SEC matchups like the Iron Bowl. Harsin was hired in 2021 to revitalize Auburn’s program but was let go less than two years into his contract after a string of disappointing results.

The Iron Bowl loss to Alabama was particularly stinging, as Auburn had been in a position to potentially pull off a historic upset but faltered late. This defeat was part of a larger narrative of Auburn’s struggles against Alabama, with the Tigers now having lost eight straight to their bitter rivals.

Despite his controversial exit from the program, Harsin’s post-Iron Bowl comments reminded many of the ongoing turbulence within Auburn football, especially after their failure to take down Alabama in a game that could have provided much-needed momentum for the program’s future.
