Now this makes sense from both sides. For Bryan Harsin, he wants to be a head coach. Not only are you taking over for a program that has won 19 games the last 2 season and the last 2 coaches both got SEC head coaching jobs. For Arkansas State, you get a guy with a proven offensive background that might stay for a few years and coach the Red Wolves to a few more Sun Belt Conference titles.
