Auburn football head coach Bryan Harsin apparently had a dramatic experience amid the school's internal investigation into his handling of the program earlier this year.

Speaking to reporters at SEC media days on Thursday, Harsin called the investigation "an opportunity for people to personally attack me, my family and also our program."

In February, the school confirmed to ESPN's Pete Thamel it was making an inquiry into Harsin's status as head coach after 20 players and five coaches left the program following the 2021 season.

After the inquiry was complete, Auburn announced on Feb. 11 it was retaining Harsin as head coach.
