Report: Former Boise co-defensive coordinators to join Auburn staff

New Auburn head coach Bryan Harsin has reportedly hired two of his assistants at Boise State to join the Tigers staff.

It has already been a busy day for Bryan Harsin.

Earlier it was reported that former Vanderbilt head coach Derek Mason will join Harsin’s staff at Auburn as the defensive coordinator and now a new report says that two members of his staff at Boise State, Spencer Danielson and Jeff Schmedding, will also be coming to the Plains. The two were co-defensive coordinators for the Broncos under Harsin.

Per AL.com, Danielson will join the Tigers in some variety of defensive role. He is currently serving as the Broncos interim head coach.

Adam Rittenberg reported that Schmedding will be the new linebackers coach for Auburn, replacing Travis Williams.

During Auburn’s loss to Northwestern in the Citrus Bowl, Harsin joined the television broadcast and talked about forming his staff.

“We’ve got to be able to put a staff together and get the right people in to be a part of our program,” Harsin said. “We’re focused on doing the things at Auburn that we have to do to be successful as we move towards this next semester and getting these guys back.”
