Auburn football is deep in the middle of a pivotal coaching search, and Buster Faulkner has emerged as the top target to take over the offense on the Plains. According to multiple inside reports, Auburn leadership has zeroed in on John Summerall as their primary head coaching target, with Durkin ready to step in if things fall through. But the real buzz surrounds Faulkner’s potential move from Georgia Tech, where he’s engineered a balanced, explosive offense that could transform Auburn’s attack in 2025.

Faulkner’s offensive adaptability and his familiarity with quarterback play are drawing praise. At Georgia Tech, he worked with Haynes King, developing a dynamic, high-tempo system that produced real results. Auburn fans have seen enough offensive inconsistency and are ready for a shift toward creativity and aggressiveness — something Faulkner’s system promises to deliver.

The Auburn Express crew dives deep into what this move could mean for recruiting, play-calling, and Auburn’s place in the SEC’s changing landscape. With programs like Florida and LSU in transition, this might be the perfect moment for Auburn to reassert itself.

Auburn fans deserve better — and if this move comes together, it could be the beginning of that turnaround.
