Auburn football has yet to have a winning record since 2020, Gus Malzahn’s final year at the helm. His predecessor, Bryan Harsin, failed to build momentum in his inaugural year, going 6-7 before losing much of his staff. More importantly, a flurry of players entered the portal, putting Harsin on blast for the poor culture he cultivated in just one season. After a 3-5 start in the 2022 season, Auburn told Harsin to pack his bags, firing him, leaving him with the worst record by a non-interim coach in program history since the early 1950s.
Two years following his release, Harsin is back on the minds of Auburn football fans, making a point to bring up his refusal to receive the COVID-19 shot in 2021. Auburn mandated the vaccine for program personnel during Harsin’s tenure.

According to the official Twitter page of former Auburn football frontman Bryan Harsin:

In a 2021 tweet from lead sports columnist Joseph Goodman from AL.com, Bryan Harsin, the Auburn Tigers head coach from 2021 to 2022, refused to answer if he had received the COVID-19 vaccine despite being mandated by the school. Goodman also shared that the school wouldn’t allow him to present Harsin with the question. On Friday, the former SEC head coach hinted that he did, in fact, not get the vaccine.
Harsin finished his Auburn head coaching career with a brutal 9-12 record and played a significant role in current Denver Broncos starting quarterback and former Oregon Ducks star Bo Nix transferring. During his tenure, many former players put the bench boss on blast, flaming him for his treatment of the team. Harsin has not coached since his unceremonious end with Auburn but posted a 69-19 record from 2014 to 2020 with the Boise State Broncos.
