AUBURN — Coleman Hutzler, who was fired as Mississippi State’s defensive coordinator last week, will join Alex Golesh‘s Auburn football staff as an edge rushers coach, according to a multiple reports on Tuesday, Dec. 9.
Hutzler, 41, had spent the past two seasons coordinating the Bulldogs’ defense, which ranked 98th and 76th nationally the past two seasons in ESPN’s SP+. His history as a college assistant spans nearly two decades, and it comes with some notable stops.
Prior to Starkville, Hutzler was Nick Saban’s special teams coordinator at Alabama. His previous stops, in order, include Ole Miss, Texas, South Carolina, Boston College and Florida. He presumably has a healthy history with Auburn defensive coordinator DJ Durkin, as the pair were on staffs at Florida, Ole Miss and Stanford.
