The bad press for Auburn football coach Bryan Harsin just keeps coming.

The Tigers were hammered at home by Penn State on Saturday, 41-12.

But that’s only part of the story for Harsin, who’s 2-6 in his last 8 games and had his program investigated by the University during the offseason.

On Sunday, USA Today’s Dan Wolken was the latest to shine a negative light on Harsin and the Auburn program, as he moved the Tigers to No. 1 in his weekly college football “Misery Index” rankings.

“Things will probably get better for Auburn at some point,” Wolken wrote, “but for now the Tigers are No. 1 in the Misery Index, a weekly measurement of which fan bases are feeling the most angst about the state of their favorite program.”

Wolken specifically pointed to Auburn’s struggles on the recruiting trail since hiring Harsin and also questioned whether Boise State was an adequate proving ground for what was to come in the SEC.

Auburn will look to get back on track Saturday in their SEC opener, a home game against Missouri.
