Auburn has hired Boise State coach Bryan Harsin to take over its program, replacing Gus Malzahn following a rapid search process, a source tells CBS Sports' Dennis Dodd. Harsin was 69-19 in seven seasons as the Broncos' coach, winning Mountain West titles in 2014, 2017 and 2019.
In joining the Tigers, Harsin again follows in the footsteps of Malzahn. He previously took over Arkansas State in 2013 after Malzahn was hired by Auburn. Harsin went 7-5 and won the Sun Belt in his lone season with the Red Wolves before heading out west to lead his alma mater Boise State.
Auburn fired Malzahn, who compiled a 68-35 record with a 39-27 mark in SEC play, after eight seasons with the program. Malzahn led Auburn to an SEC championship victory and appearance in the BCS Championship Game during his first season in 2013 but advanced to just one SEC Championship Game (2017) in the years since He will be paid a $21 million buyout as part of his seven-year, $49 million contract signed two seasons ago.
