Summary

Auburn Tigers make a coaching change as Hugh Freeze is fired and DJ Durkin steps in as interim head coach. Can the Tigers find the right leader to restore the program's championship aspirations? Zac Blackerby and Lindsay Crosby break down why Jimbo Fisher would be a disastrous hire, comparing him directly to the coach Auburn just fired. The discussion highlights promising candidates like Eli Drinkwitz, Jon Sumrall, and Kenny Dillingham, drawing fascinating parallels between Sumrall and Pat Dye's career trajectory. Key topics include Durkin's opportunity to win over players and fans during his interim stint, the unprecedented influence players will have in this coaching search through the transfer portal era, and what Auburn fans should expect from athletic director John Cohen's upcoming press conference. Lindsay Crosby offers insider perspectives on the modern coaching model and why delegation matters more than ever in college football. Tune in for critical analysis of Auburn's coaching search and the path forward for the Tigers program.
