Locked On Auburn - Daily Podcast On Auburn Tigers Football & Basketball

Kenny Dillingham emerges as the betting favorite to become Auburn Tigers football's next head coach. Could the 35-year-old Arizona State coach who once served as Auburn's offensive coordinator be the answer to the Tigers' coaching crisis?

Zac Blackerby and Ben Taylor break down why Dillingham's potential hiring represents a best-case scenario for Auburn football, especially if defensive coordinator DJ Durkin stays. The discussion covers Dillingham's quarterback development track record with Bo Nix and Sam Leavitt, his familiarity with SEC recruiting, and whether he'd leave his alma mater for Auburn's top-10 NIL resources. Key topics include Auburn's status as an elite job despite recent failures, the expanded playoff's impact on nine-win seasons, and concerns about Dillingham's limited head coaching experience compared to candidates like John Sumrall.

Discover why Auburn's fan support and resources could convince Dillingham to make the jump from the Big 12 to the SEC.
