Early morning workouts will be run by someone else at Auburn this offseason and into the season.
Ryan Russell, who replaced Kevin Yoxall in 2013 as the strength and conditioning coach, has been reportedly told that he will not be a part of Bryan Harsin’s staff, per Auburn Undercover.
It is the first of what could be many staff members learning that their services in Auburn are no longer needed. It was reported on Sunday that Harsin had met with the current staff last week but that no formal interviews had been conducted.
It also came in a strange way for a guy that had been on the Plains for more than 10 years.
The news was not delivered by first-year coach Bryan Harsin, but by Marci Girton, the athletic department’s chief operating officer.
That’s a big harsh.
