During his tenure with Boise State, Harsin is 68-18, which is an average of more than 10 wins per season. Overall, he's 76-23 as a head coach.

Auburn fired Malzahn earlier this month and has interviewed at least five other candidates for the head coaching position. Clemson coach Brent Venables has dropped out of consideration from the position while UAB coach Bill Clark was removed from consideration on Monday.
