Cal Reportedly Set to Hire Former Auburn Coach Bryan Harsin as Offensive Coordinator
Harsin, out of coaching since 2022, would replace Mike Bloesch and reunite with Cal head coach Justin Wilcox.
- Bryan Harsin, former head coach at Auburn, Boise State, and Arkansas State, is reportedly finalizing a deal to become Cal's offensive coordinator.
- Harsin has been out of coaching since being fired by Auburn in October 2022 after a 3-5 start and a tumultuous tenure marked by on- and off-field controversies.
- He would replace Mike Bloesch, who was let go after Cal's 6-6 season and inconsistent offensive performance, averaging 26.1 points per game.
- Harsin has a history with Cal head coach Justin Wilcox, having worked together at Boise State from 2006-2009 when Wilcox was defensive coordinator and Harsin was offensive coordinator.
- The move has sparked mixed reactions among Cal fans, with some questioning how Harsin's coaching style and political views might align with the university's culture.
