Should Auburn hire DJ Durkin?
That’s the question Auburn fans can’t stop asking after watching his powerful locker room speech following the overtime battle against Vanderbilt. In this episode of The Auburn Express, the crew breaks down what that emotional moment really means — and if Durkin’s leadership, energy, and authenticity make him the right choice to lead the Tigers forward.

We revisit the full locker room speech that’s got the Auburn family talking:

“Throughout your entire life, people will tell you what you can’t do. What you won’t do. You know what you can do. You guys had a lot of distractions this week and came together and fought your ass off on the road against a top 20 team. We didn’t come in for moral victories — that ain’t Auburn. We’re here to win games and win championships.”

That message hit different. Fans, players, and analysts all felt it — not because it was rehearsed, but because it was real.
Still, emotion isn’t enough to win in the SEC. Auburn’s next hire has to stabilize the program, retain the roster, and prove that the Tigers’ championship DNA still runs deep. DJ Durkin may be that guy… or Auburn might need to keep searching.
