Summary
Is the clock official ticking on Bryan Harsin's time at Auburn just 14 months into his tenure? Andy and David Ubben hone in on the developing situation with the Tigers and deduce why the Harsin-Auburn pairing may have run its course. If Auburn does choose to part with Harsin, what's next for the program, and is their amount of payout money spent over the last few years alarming? Jim Harbaugh seems poised to return to Michigan, however, his return may be met with fewer familiar faces as OC Josh Gattis is headed for Miami. Was this subtraction a result of Harbaugh placing Michigan in a precarious state while he expressed interest in coaching an NFL team? Who could replace Gattis? Lastly, Jimbo Fisher v. Sliced Bread on pay per view!
