The AuburnSports.com Rundown

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Henry Patton and Jay G. Tate reconvene at VooDoo Wing Company to discuss the important happenings in and around the Auburn program, which today centers on the hire of DJ Durkin onto the defensive staff. 

Auburn had four coaches leave this offseason. Now four have been hired — Durkin, Charles Kelly, Derrick Nix and Kent Austin. Is that an overall upgrade? Bryan thinks so.

Will Redmond coming in from LSU signals a change within the program. What does a General Manager actually do? Let's discuss.

Caleb recaps a conversation/interview he recently held with Elba (Ala.) HS tailback Alvin Henderson.

The Fightin' Pearls have lost back-to-back road games. Is it time to panic? Henry says NO SIR. A mid-week game at home against Vanderbilt could a real salve. 

The show ends with a tight-but-powerful supply of commendations and shoutouts for the most outstanding members (this week) from The Bunker community.

The show is presented by VooDoo Wing Company with locations in Auburn, Mobile, Tuscaloosa, Florence, Charlotte and Las Vegas. Check them out IN PERSON for delicious chicken or on the web at www.voodoowingco.com.

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Henry Patton and Jay G. Tate reconvene at VooDoo Wing Company to discuss the important happenings in and around the Auburn program, which today centers on the hire of assistant coach Derrick Nix and the pursuit of one more assistant coach.

Will it be DJ Durkin? Will it be Chris Kiffin? ONLY TIME WILL TELL.

Auburn's second Junior Day in as many weekends was a success. Caleb runs down the latest feedback from the latest crop of visitors, which included the No. 1 quarterback for the 2025 class plus several impactful four-stars.

Bruce Pearl's team has been playing terrific basketball, but the Tigers will face more difficult challenges this week with road games at Alabama and Mississippi State. What can we expect? What should we expect? There is a difference.

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Brian Stultz, Henry Patton and Jay G. Tate reconvene at VooDoo Wing Company to discuss the important happenings in and around the Auburn program, which today centers on two surprise resignations and Hugh Freeze's effort (so far) to replace them.

Auburn still needs at least a co-offensive coordinator and a co-defensive coordinator. Who is in the running to claim those jobs. The team also needs someone to coach tailbacks now that Carnell Williams is gone.

Auburn added Jerrin Thompson out of the portal. The former Texas free safety should be a plug-and-play guy for the Tigers next fall.

The first Junior Day of 2024 was a success. Caleb gives you updates on OL Dontrell Glover, DE Zion Grady, LV Eric Winters, WR Derick Smith, OL Mal Waldrep and OL Tavaris Dice.

The Fightin' Pearls are playing some GREAT ball right now after a win over LSU and ahead of the trip to an icy Nashville to face off with Jerry Stackhouse's Vanderbilt Commodores. What are we to make of the team's wobbly second half against the Tigers?

Also, Coach Johnnie's team got a MASSIVE win against LSU as well — ending the Bayou Bengals' 16-game win streak in the process.

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones and Jay G. Tate reconvene at VooDoo Wing Company to discuss the important happenings in and around the Auburn program, which today centers on personnel comings and goings since the bowl game.

Hugh Freeze has jettisoned both coordinators and now finds himself prepared to call plays again — after choosing to focus on recruiting last fall. What is his plan on offense? And who makes sense on the defensive side of the ball?

Fifteen players from the Tigers Early Signing Day class already are on campus and will begin Winter Workouts later this week. Isn't that something? Several portal transfers are on campus as well.

What should we expect from the Tigers' latest portal targets?

Auburn basketball has been HEATING UP of late — demolishing Arkansas and then grinding out a really nice win against Texas A&M on Tuesday. Just how good is this team? We're starting to think the Final Four is a real option here.
