Remember Bryan Harsin?
Auburn Tigers fans wish they didn’t. Harsin went just 9-12 over two seasons as the Tigers head coach after an immensely successful run at the helm of Boise State.
What’s he up to now? Well, he’s probably having an awkward conversation with his wife after she posted a chemtrails conspiracy theory on Instagram over the weekend.

“Oh, look at this beautiful cloud formation!!! Not!!!” she posted on Friday night. “This is chemtrails people. Anyone else tired of breathing in chemicals that are being dumped on your 24/7!!? It’s time to take back our clear blue skies!! If Tennessee banned it why can’t we!? And you wonder why so many people suffer from allergies!!”
Ooooookay then.
This isn’t the first time Harsin’s wife has gone viral. She was the center of attention during much of Harsin’s stint as the Tigers head coach with her strong denials of rumors surrounding him.
Harsin has not worked since being fired by Auburn.
But hey, Kes Harsin isn’t alone! In fact, a significant amount of Americans believe in the chemtrails conspiracy!
In 2016, a study from Harvard scientists found that around 10 percent of respondents to a poll of 1,000 people believed said that the conspiracy theories about chemtrails were “completely true.” But that’s not all. An additional 20-30 percent said theories about chemtrails were “somewhat true.”
That’s not an insignificant amount!
Especially if you extrapolate that number to account for the US population. In that case, over 100 million Americans likely believe, to some extent, that cool-looking clouds are actually chemicals dumped into the air by the government.
This is not what No Child Left Behind was supposed to accomplish! Many children were apparently left behind. Kes Harsin being one of them!
But when you’re the wife of a millionaire football coach, I guess it doesn’t much matter?
