Cole Cubelic has weighed in on the decision by Auburn to fire Bryan Harsin, and wrote on social media that there are several aspects to the move.

“Can’t excuse the performance,” he wrote. “Move was inevitable. Harsin can coach. He was put in a situation that offered a very low chance at success. I hate it for the players that the focal point surrounding them over the last month of this season likely won’t have much to do with them.”

Cubelic’s opinion carries some weight in and around Auburn as the former Tigers offensive lineman co-hosts “McElroy and Cubelic In the morning” on WJOX in Birmingham, Alabama, and often hosts or emcees events with Auburn athletics.

Cubelic last week defended Harsin’s handling of Landen King first deciding to redshirt and then transfer, and said, “He’s not wrong & he’s not the only coach in the league doing it…”

And he’s previously called on the fans to support the program even amid the struggles with the current coach at the time. At the end of last season, Cubelic told Paul Finebaum that a lack of interest from the fans was alarming.
