Auburn is a week into its coaching search. The quest to find the program’s next head coach is expected to build speed now that athletic director John Cohen has officially been introduced.
Cohen told the media during his introductory press conference that his search for a new head coach will be very extensive and thorough.
“It’s a very, very long process. In fact, I have 58 things on this piece of paper that we’ll go through as we go through this process of looking for a new head football coach,” Cohen said. “It all starts with culture. It starts with X’s and O’s and it starts with recruiting. Those three things have to be upfront but there’s a whole lot of other things that have to be answered before you get really deep into it.”
College Football experts such as FOX Sports’ Bruce Feldman and ESPN’s Kirk Herbstreit have weighed in on the vacant position at Auburn, and it is time to hear from another in Mike Farrell.
The “Godfather of College Football Recruiting” revealed his top 10 candidates for the Auburn job this week. Every coach listed has been mentioned in at least one circle. Several have shot down the rumors of having discussions with Auburn, but Farrell is not counting them out just yet.
Here is a look at Farrell’s top candidates for the open Auburn head football coaching job, as well as a description as to why each coach would be a great fit on the Plains:
