00:00 Huge news today in the college sports world.
00:03 First, Mississippi State Athletic Director John Cohen resigned in Starkville and will
00:09 eventually be named, if he hasn't already, the Athletic Director at Auburn.
00:14 After his resignation from Mississippi State and after the word leaked, guess what happened?
00:18 Auburn fired Brian Harsin in his second year as coach, something expected maybe at the
00:23 end of the season, but the timing makes a lot of sense.
00:28 Brian Harsin is out before John Cohen arrives.
00:32 That way he goes into a situation where he doesn't have to fire the football coach, which
00:37 everybody has kind of seen coming, and he can now look to taking over an athletic department
00:45 that kind of for years in a way has been a little bit of a circus.
00:51 And he can focus on hiring the new coach.
00:53 So a lot of crazy stuff happening on this Monday in college sports.
00:59 Stay tuned for some coverage from SI as far as John Cohen's move to Auburn, what it means,
01:07 and a candidate list for the next Auburn football coach, which you have to put two names on
01:11 there at least, right?
01:13 Hugh Freeze and Lane Kiffin.
