Former Cincinnati Bengals defensive line coach Nick Eason has landed with the Auburn Tigers and will hold the same position in 2021.
Auburn announced the move this week, meaning Eason will play a key role for the Tigers under new head coach Bryan Harsin.
Eason joined the Bengals in 2019 and stayed in the role for two seasons. His unit suffered multiple setbacks in 2020, including the training camp injury to Geno Atkins, opt-out of Josh Tupou and season-ending injuries to Renell Wren and D.J. Reader — all before the trade of Carlos Dunlap.
The Bengals chose not to bring back Eason and a handful of other coaches after the season. Eason is the latest former Bengals coach to land another gig at the college level. Elsewhere in the SEC, Daronte Jones just landed the gig as LSU Tigers offensive coordinator.
