The Auburn defense’s showing in the annual Iron Bowl was less than memorable, giving up a whopping 55 points to Alabama. With that being said, it’s no surprise that the Tigers next move would be to fire 2-year defensive coordinator Ellis Johnson.
The Tigers are ranked 10th in the SEC in points allowed per game, and the number actually increases 32.8 ppg against SEC opponents. Auburn hasn’t announced the decision, but it has been confirmed by AL.com’s Brandon Marcello.
