How will Auburn's next head football coach attack the portal?

And does the 2006 Tigers roster have the ability to be the sneaky pick to make the playoff?

You are Locked on College Crossover, part of the Locked On Podcast Network, your team every day.

This crossover, locked on the portal and locked on Auburn.

I'm your host Brian Smith, longtime college football recruiting.

Thank you for making Locked on the portal and locked on Auburn, a part of your day, right here on the number one sports broadcasting network in the country, locked on. We are glad to have you. We're going to have a lot of fun talking about Auburn's incredibly unique transition. Head coaching search, everything that's going to go on with Auburn in the transfer portal. What are their needs? And lastly, we're going to get to what is going to happen with the SEC.

They've kind of taken a step back in terms of the dominance they've had,

haven't been in the last couple title games, is the portal hurting the Southeastern Conference?

We're going to discuss all of that with my guy, Zach Blackerby,

even though Ms. Tigers have fired a coach and he's probably got incredible

psychiatry bills, I think he's coming around.

I think he's more positive now that the coach is gone.

I think it's a better day for Zach Blackerby.

Man, yeah, and if last Saturday didn't kind of show who the issue was or what the issue was,

when your offensive-minded head coach gets let go and then your offense actually shows up,

I mean, what a, what a trippy, trippy game that was.

But no, I think, I think, I think Auburn fans have hope, again, whether that guy is

DJ Durkin or John Summoral or Kenny Dillingham or whoever it might be,

there's hope on the horizon with whoever John Cohen hires to be Auburn's next head coach.

100% agree.

And I told you before the show, they were my sleeper pick to be the sneaky pick for next year's college football playoff.

Again, it's all predicated on who you hired coach.
