Charles Barkley comes to Bryan Harsin's defense: 'Leave that man alone and let him do his freaking job'
Charles Barkley is one of the most outspoken supporters of all things Auburn, and these days, that includes Bryan Harsin.
As Harsin looks to work himself out from under the turmoil that enveloped the early part of the offseason, Barkley, the former star Auburn basketball player, is offering candid thoughts to the Harsin critics.
“I’m a Bryan Harsin fan,” Barkley said on The Next Round. “This is to all the Auburn people. Leave that man alone and let him do his freaking job. He’s only been there a year. Just leave the man alone and let him do his job. I’m very excited, y’all guys know I love me some Bruce Pearl. His son Steven and our entire coaching staff, I love our coaches. I love our AD, Allen Greene. If they let Allen, Bruce and Bryan Harsin do their job, I feel really good about Auburn going forward. For the people who keep bothering this man, I wish somebody would just slap the hell out of them.”
