Auburn Football fans, the coaching search is officially heating up. With names like Kenny Dillingham, John Summerall, and DJ Durkin leading the conversation, Auburn is once again at a crossroads. Can the Tigers return to national prominence in just one year with the right hire?

Today on The Auburn Express, I’m joined by national college football analyst Chris Marler to break down every angle of the search — from the strengths and weaknesses of each candidate to the real challenges that lie ahead for John Cohen.

We talk Auburn’s brutal 2026 schedule, why the Durkin audition might be real, and whether Kenny Dillingham’s offensive ties to Auburn make him the smart play. We also dive into how the Hugh Freeze era collapsed, what went wrong, and how Auburn can finally get it right.

🎧 Tune in for an honest, unfiltered conversation about where Auburn football goes next — and why the right coach could make the Plains electric again by 2026.
