The boosters brought the heat and after an internal investigation President Gogue wouldn't cut him loose. There was no rebounding from that February Fiasco, and everyone knew it.

Based on what evidence?
The fact that the allegations began on February 3, 2022, and a document (dated February 8) magically surfaced on February 9, 2022, stating that a university employee could be fired with cause if they weren't seen as cooperating with an investigation/review. Even then Harsin could see that this was all designed to fire him for cause, despite the fact that the university assured him that the document in question wasn't targeting him and the timing of it was merely coincidental.

If anything it's just as likely Harsin's camp put that rumor out
Harsin created a rumor about himself fricking his assistant to distract from his poor recruiting?

That investigation had nothing to do with an affair and everything to do with whatever Derek Mason said. Try again.

The investigation was about some player complaints regarding comments and treatment based on their race. He was one signature away from being fired for cause due to that.
I’ve heard a lot people close to the program state that the infidelity rumors were around since he was hired and dating back to Boise.
Posters in here have no clue what they are talking about.

Sounds like one person finally had the sense to see the lawsuit coming and said just pay him his money and make the problem go away.

Everyone other than auburn fans hate Auburn. They're not a likable institution.
People didn’t like his style. But, he brought more success than anybody there before or since. And his departure left a giant vacuum which is still evident.

If they want to work, they will work. If they want to sit back, enjoy a check and blame others for their failures, then they can do just that.

He gets local relevance from his Monday morning tweets by message boards that love to hate on Auburn. So great.

Dumb asses!
Under Harsin
- 94th in total defense (407.1 yards)
- 94th in scoring defense (29.9 points)
- 24th in pass defense (192.5 pass yards)
- 127th in rush defense (214.6 rush yards)
- Auburn had 16 total turnovers lost that season with a turnover margin per game of -1.25.
Here's the last time Auburn was worse statistically in all of those categories:
Total defense - 2013 (420.7 yards)
Scoring defense - Never
Auburn was last nationally in fumbles. The passing offense has its worst completion percentage since 1998. They allowed most rushing yards allowed in a single game likely in their entire program history to Ole Miss - and the most they've allowed in a game since 2002 (the record books have a hard time breaking down opponent rushing totals per contest once you get past the modern era).
Only one time has Auburn had a recruiting class finish outside of the top 25 - that was back in 2004 - and only four times have the Tigers had a class finish outside the top 16. 13 of the 23 classes finished inside the top 10. Harsin's 2023 class was at 55th nationally and dead last in the SEC.
. Auburn only had 10 hard commits for the 2023 class and only signed 18 last cycle (tied for second-worst in the SEC). On top of this, players have been exiting at an alarming rate: 31 scholarship players have transferred out of the program since Harsin was hired in December of 2020. Over half (10 of 18 signees) of the 2021 class has left.
Harsin failed to not just get similar levels of talent that the last several coaches have been able to obtain, but he also failed to keep the minimal amount he got to commit to the program. The roster is thin and was getting thinner.
In the end, there are a multitude of numbers, data points, and not-so-fun-facts to point towards Harsin's collapse as a head coach at Auburn. He is one of, if not the worst coach in program history.
Tell us one SEC school that would tolerate this?

Poor performance is a reason to fire.
But why campaign to ruin his reputation?
