The Auburn Tigers are in need of a defensive coordinator, and apparently former Florida head coach Will Muschamp is on the top of their list. According to a report Wednesday from AuburnSports.com, the Tigers have already extended an offer to Muschamp and he is seriously considering taking the deal.

At this time, the terms of the offer have not been disclosed.

After giving up over 50 points to Alabama in their Iron Bowl loss, Auburn parted ways with defensive coordinator Ellis Johnson. However, it wasn’t just that one game that did him in, rather it was the ineffectiveness of the defense virtually the entire season.

Muschamp coached his last game as the head coach of Florida this past Saturday in the loss to rival Florida State. When word came out a few weeks ago that he would not be returning to Gainesville as the head coach, the speculation was that he would go back to what made him a hot name in the first place, and that’s coordinating a defense.

One thing is for sure and that’s while the terms of the offer haven’t been made public, this is going to be a lucrative one, given what a hot commodity Muschamp is as a defensive coordinator.
