Auburn Football Hires DeMarcus Van Dyke | Can He Fix the Tigers’ Secondary | Auburn Football Podcast
Auburn Football has made another major move in reshaping the coaching staff. Head Coach Alex Golesh has officially added DeMarcus Van Dyke as the Tigers’ new cornerbacks coach — his fifth assistant to join him from South Florida. Van Dyke, a former Miami Hurricane and NFL defensive back, brings professional experience and proven turnover-producing ability to a unit that desperately needs it.
Last season, South Florida ranked in the top 15 nationally in interceptions, forcing 14 turnovers through aggressive secondary play. Auburn’s defense, while solid on the scoreboard, struggled with big plays, miscommunication, and pass coverage lapses. If Van Dyke can bring that same ball-hawking energy to the Plains, the Tigers’ defense could make a major leap in 2025.
Mike G dives into what this hire means for Auburn’s future — from recruiting power to on-field adjustments — and why fans should be excited about this fresh direction. Plus, he and Jacob Goins break down the All-SEC Team snubs, including the shocking absence of top Auburn offensive names like Cam Coleman and Jeremiah Cobb.
