Auburn has reasons for optimism, On3 Sports analyst says.

Let’s be honest: It wasn’t the best offseason for the Auburn Tigers.
The Tigers nearly fired head coach Bryan Harsin and multiple players entered the transfer portal after a less than ideal 6-7 season.
On3 Sports’ J.D. PicKell outlined some reasons for optimism on “The Hard Count”
“If we can get on the same page, there’s some good things within this program, like we’ve already talked about,” PicKell said. “To have a buy-in, after all the craziness that happened in the offseason from the internal side of this program. That’s phenomenal. That’s huge. That’s something you would almost not expect when you try to get your coach fired. To have one of the best running backs in the country coming back (Tank Bigsby). That’s also huge.”
Auburn, despite PicKell’s optimism, is considered to be a bottom SEC team this upcoming season. Even with the perceived loyalty and one of the top running backs in the nation returning in 2022, the Tigers have quite the hill to climb in the SEC West.
