Auburn’s search for [autotag]Wes Flanigan[/autotag]’s replacement is now over.
According to a report by Auburn Undercover’s Christian Clemente, Auburn is set to hire former Texas Tech assistant coach Corey Williams. An official deal has not been set in place at the time of this post.
The Williams hire is notable due to the experience that he brings to the Plains. He served as an assistant at Oral Roberts (2000-07), Florida State (2007-13), Arkansas (2019-21), and Texas Tech (2021-13).
He has two stints as head coach as well, leading the Stetson Hatters program from 2013-19, and was recently the interim coach at Texas Tech during the 2022-23 season after the suspension of Red Raiders’ head coach Mark Adams.
As an assistant coach, Williams has been a part of staffs that have made the NCAA Tournament eight times. Among those trips include an Elite Eight appearance with Arkansas and a Sweet Sixteen appearance with Florida State.
Williams replaces Flanigan after his announced departure to Ole Miss earlier this month.
