Bryan Harsin coached the Auburn Tigers for less than two seasons before being canned by the university. Across 21 games, his teams went just 9-12, though he didn’t believe he was given a fair shake while in The Plains.
Now, he seems to have made it his mission to troll his former employer at every stop. He’s found a new way to do so over the first month of the season!
Harsin has been posting curious messages on X each Monday following Auburn losses.
He gets motivated when the Tigers fall!
Auburn is 2-2 on the season. Those wins came in Weeks 1 and 3. The former head coach didn’t have much to say the following Mondays as his old team enjoyed a winning week.
Weeks 2 and 4 were a bit different!
Auburn was defeated by Cal in Week 2 in the friendly confines of Jordan-Hare Stadium. After the game, Harsin took to social media in an attempt to uplift (troll?) his following.

That particular loss was especially demoralizing for the Auburn fanbase. After a four-interception day, supporters began turning on starting quarterback Payton Thorne.
Rather than take responsibility for a poor offensive showing, head coach Hugh Freeze placed blame on players.
A couple weeks later, a similar story played out.
Quarterback play was an issue in a recent loss to Arkansas as the Tigers scored just 14 points. Again, Freeze threw his players under the bus, only further angering fans.
And again, Bryan Harsin took to X to post a message.

“Cheers to all the winners!” which the Tigers were not. They never are when Harsin decides to post!
Harsin appears to be reveling in Auburn’s misfortunes as the program looks destined for another season below .500. The squad is set to face ranked opponents in each of its next three games with Georgia sandwiched between matchups against Oklahoma and Missouri.
Should those games play out as many expect, Bryan Harsin could continue to be very active on social media.
