I really enjoyed our conversation with Bryan Harsin on Monday. I cannot imagine being attacked by people I work for while having my name run thru the ringer on social media and on the airwaves. I admire him for still having a passion and a desire to be a Coach at a place where so many started turning their back. If you listen to the interview, it was the people who didn’t turn, but wrapped their arms around him that inspired him to stay. He seems empowered by those Auburn people. Many of them, in his locker room. I hope he has a magical season. The schedule will always be tough, but nothing will be as tough as the last few months. – Jim Dunaway
