On Christmas Eve, I gave a breakdown on five possible candidates that could be targeted for Auburn’s open offensive coordinator position. Today, we will take a look at five defensive coordinator targets.
While Harsin is an offensive minded coach, he’s done an equally good job fielding top caliber defenses while head coach in Boise. Twice his defensive units have ranked in the top 20 per SP+ and only once in his seven seasons as head coach did it fall outside the top 50 and that was his first year.
Needless to say, Auburn won’t be abandoning good defense in pursuit of more explosive offense.
