Auburn offensive coordinator Philip Montgomery is out after one season with the team.
Montgomery, who served as Tulsa's coach from 2015 to 2022 before joining Hugh Freeze at Auburn, oversaw a unit that struggled at quarterback and to find consistency, especially in SEC play. Auburn ranked 90th nationally in yards per game (351.2), 121st in passing (162.2 ypg) and tied for 71st in scoring (26.2 ppg), while eclipsing 27 points just twice in its final 10 games.
"Philip is a good coach and a good man," Freeze said in a statement. "Decisions like this are never easy, however, I decided this is best for our program moving forward.
