re: This article from The Montgomery Advertiser makes Harsin appear to be a bad guy

The decision on Harsin’s future is expected to come within days from university leadership, not athletic leadership, sources have told ESPN. When athletic director Allen Greene hired Harsin, the move was viewed as a win for the athletic department fending off board and booster influence.

Obviously Greene was trying to take control of the athletic department from the boosters. The Auburn boosters have run the program since Shug Jordan retired and unless the AD and HC take direction from them, this is what happens.
