Bryan Harsin was brought to The Plains to be a hero for the Auburn fanbase and discussions happened this week on the local Auburn radio airwaves on which hero he could be compared to at this point of his career.
The local Auburn radio show, On The Line, dove into which SEC coaches could be compared to Avengers characters from the Marvel movies.
The show’s host, Noah Gardner, went through several popular main characters throughout the Marvel movies before he got to the Avenger that he compared Auburn’s new head coach to. That character was Ant-Man.
“For Ant-Man, I’m going to go with Bryan Harsin here,” Gardner said. “When he was at Boise State, at times Boise would be small and out of the limelight, and at other times Boise State could be viewed as a bigger program like Ant-Man can be small or large. He was all by himself in Idaho which is similar to how Ant-Man was just an offshoot character in the Marvel universe. He had a couple of movies but he didn’t actually connect into the main storyline in any way until late.”
Gardner also pointed out that Ant-Man was the key character to get everyone back together to fight Thanos again.
For what it’s worth, Gardner compared Nick Saban to Thanos.
On The Line can be heard weekday afternoons from 2 pm-4 pm CST on ESPN 106.7 and Fox Sports Central Alabama.
