Auburn’s coaching search is heating up, and the Tigers are sitting at a major crossroads. From DJ Durkin’s strong candidacy to rising names like Jon Sumrall and Charles Kelly, the conversation around who will lead Auburn football into its next era is getting louder by the day.

In this episode of The Weekend Tailgate, the crew dives deep into what athletic director John Cohen is really prioritizing in the hiring process — keeping the roster intact, finding a head coach with modern vision, and making sure Auburn doesn’t repeat the mistakes of the past.

Durkin has proven his worth, fighting off programs like Ohio State to stay on the Plains. Sumrall has championship DNA and the kind of defensive mind that fits the Auburn culture. Charles Kelly brings an old-school pedigree with recruiting chops and deep Alabama ties. The question is: which of these names can truly push Auburn back into championship contention?

The hosts also break down why it’s crucial for Auburn to keep its current roster, including star talents like Cam Coleman, and why letting another five-star walk out the door would be a huge mistake.

This episode captures the raw emotion, debate, and hope that defines Auburn football fans during this pivotal moment.
