Just a few weeks after head coach [autotag]Brent Crouch[/autotag] received a five-year contract extension, Auburn has added [autotag]Jack Burton[/autotag] to its staff as an assistant coach.
“My wife Cori and I want to thank Athletics Director John Cohen, Senior Associate AD Joy Vrbka and head coach Brent Crouch for this opportunity,” said Burton. “We could not be more excited to be a part of the Auburn family. I look forward to working with each of these amazing student-athletes and this entire staff to continue building upon the success they’ve already accomplished. It is truly an honor to work here and I cannot wait to get started. War Eagle!”
Burton spent last season in Fort Meyers, Florida as an assistant coach for Florida Gulf Coast and helped lead the team to one of the best seasons in program history.
The Eagles went 26-7 overall and 13-3 in Atlantic Sun Conference play, back-to-back conference titles, and the third NCAA Tournament appearance in program history.
“Jack is going to be a substantial addition to an already deep, first-class staff,” said Crouch. “His expertise will lift all areas of our program from practice planning to recruiting. I’m particularly excited for him to help with the development of our outside hitters and scouting. Jack’s character, integrity and overall demeanor will perfectly fit what Auburn Volleyball is all about. We are delighted to welcome him and his wife Cori to the Plains.”
Auburn volleyball finished with a 22-9 record in 2022, and will look to build in 2023.
