Auburn Defensive Coordinator Rumored to Leave for Rival
Auburn Tigers defensive coordinator, Jeff Schmedding, is reportedly in talks to join the rival Hoover Buccaneers staff, according to sources close to the program. Schmedding, who has been with Auburn since 2018, helped the Tigers improve their defensive record to 12-7 over the past two seasons. The 2019 team finished with a 10-3 record, and the 2020 team secured a 7-5 mark. If Schmedding departs, it could impact Auburn's recruiting efforts, particularly in the state's top defensive talent. The Tigers have been a consistent draw for top defensive prospects, and Schmedding's departure could give Hoover a significant recruiting boost. The AHSAA has yet to confirm any coaching changes, but the rumors are fueling speculation among fans and recruiting analysts.
