The Auburn Tigers have had some real struggles thus far this season, losing each of their last three conference games. Saturday’s game against the Arkansas Razorbacks was much of the same for Auburn, which has led to Tigers fans offering some brutal critiques of head coach Bryan Harsin.
Arkansas was able to overwhelm Auburn on offense with a big performance from Arkansas quarterback K.J. Jefferson, totaling three touchdowns on the day to lead to a 41-27 victory.
This is the fourth consecutive loss for Auburn, and many fans took to social media to blast Bryan Harsin for yet another poor performance on Saturday.
feels like the only good reason to not fire Bryan Harsin tomorrow is that Auburn really doesn't have a reasonable candidate on staff to replace him as interim.

Harsin addressed the media following the loss and gave a brutally honest assessment of his team’s performance.
“We’ve got to get better. We’re not good enough. That’s just what it comes down to,” said Harsin via Justin Ferguson of the Auburn Observer.

Auburn has historically had a terrific football program, but the team has fallen on hard times under Harsin in recent years.
The team finished below .500 for the first time since 2012 last season, and it certainly looks like they are trending towards a similar result this year.
Harsin’s days as head coach at Auburn may certainly be numbered due to the team’s struggles.
Auburn is reportedly “very close” to naming their new athletic director, and it seems like whoever it will be will want to bring in a fresh face after some poor season from their football program.
