Auburn is having some problems with good coaches turning them down, including Steve Sarkisian. I'm guessing Auburn hires Neal Brown who would be a great pick after doing so well at Troy. Bill Clark from UAB would be decent too.

As for Steve Sarkisian. The guy has engineered one of the most prolific offenses in history. The QB Mac Jones was considered to be keeping the seat warm for Bryce Young. Instead Jones has an awesome chance at the Heisman. Not bad for a transition year. So the question is why would Sarkisian say no to Auburn? Best guess is he is working behind the scenes to lock up another job. Maybe Michigan is making a move after all? Maybe an NFL job? No idea.

Could also be that he's happy making $2.5 million a year in a perennially successful gig. He's also young enough that he may view himself as the guy-in-waiting for Saban's job. I imagine Saban only wants to be there another 3-5 years before retiring.

Auburn finally made their hire. Bryan Harsin from Boise State. He coached at Arkansas State for a year. Otherwise not in SEC recruiting territory.

Boise State coaches are hit and miss when they leave. Dirk Koetter was okay at Arizona State. Dan Hawkins was a disaster at Colorado. Petersen did well at Washington but never really lived up to the hype. So no telling with Harsin at Auburn.

Would it be insane to think Kellen Moore could become the next Boise State head coach? And if that happens I will feel absurdly old I was in grad school and early career when he was tearing up defenses. And now a guy younger than me could be the next head coach at one of the nation's best best mid major programs.

Terry Bowden gets the HC job at ULM after being a GA (!) at Clemson for the past 2 seasons. What a wild career that man has had.

He was a GA at Clemson so he could help his career, while still getting his full buyout from Akron. In other words, another coach making money off another MAC AD spending money they don't have.
