Former Boise State and Auburn head coach Bryan Harsin apparently is a candidate to become Cal's next offensive coordinator, according to a report by Matt Zenitz of 247 Sports/CBS Sports.

However, Harsin is in contention to become the head coach at Utah State, which would be better job than being the Bears' offensive coordinator.

Harsin had considerable success at Boise State, amassing a 69-19 record with the Broncos from 2014 to 2020. But he had less success when he left Boise State to become Auburn's head coach. He went 6-7 and 3-5 in two seasons at Auburn in 2021 and 2022 before he was fired on October 31, 2022.

Harsin, 48, has not worked in footall since then.
