Auburn became the fourth job opening in the SEC following its firing of coach Hugh Freeze , who was 1-5 in league play and 15-19 overall. Auburn's early hot board features several recognizable names for a program seeking its fourth coach since winning the 2010 national championship.
While Auburn is considered a top job with resources and recruiting strengths, the Tigers land a few spots lower than SEC vacancies at LSU and Florida , comparatively.
According to SportsLine oddsmakers , there are many names to know when it comes to Auburn. Notable longshots outside of the top 10 odds include interim coach DJ Durkin (+2000), Duke's Manny Diaz (+2500), former NFL coach Jon Gruden (+3000) and Lane Kiffin at Ole Miss (+4000).
James Franklin, ex-Penn State coach (+300)
