Could DJ DURKIN lead the Auburn program back to prominence? He'll get his chance to prove what he can do as the interim.

CHRIS GORDY breaks down the chaotic firing of AUBURN TIGERS head coach HUGH FREEZE following a devastating home loss to KENTUCKY, examining why the offensive collapse doomed his tenure despite elite recruiting classes. ZAC BLACKERBY from LOCKED ON AUBURN reveals insider details about cultural divisions between offense and defense, with players describing offensive stars as "babied" under FREEZE's leadership. The defense has been elite under DJ Durkin, but the offense was historically bad. Should Auburn take a chance on their defensive coordinator or swing for the fences with a proven winner?

The discussion covers interim head coach DJ DURKIN's defensive excellence and legitimate case for the permanent job, plus analysis of top candidates including JOHN SUMRALL, KENNY DILLINGHAM, and ELI DRINKWITZ. The conversation expands to other SEC FOOTBALL coaching searches at LSU, FLORIDA, and ARKANSAS, with JOE BRADY and BOBBY PETRINO emerging as frontrunners.

Discover why AUBURN's offensive failures were historically unprecedented and which coach could restore the TIGERS to championship contention.
