BREAKING: D.J. Durkin STAYS! Auburn’s Defense Just Got Dangerous | Auburn Football Podcast
Description
Auburn football fans—this is BIG. Defensive coordinator D.J. Durkin is officially staying on the Plains, giving new head coach Alex Golesh a strong foundation as he begins his Auburn tenure. In this episode of The Auburn Express, we break down what Durkin’s return means for player retention, defensive continuity, and the identity of this 2025 squad.
Golesh made a powerful statement in his introductory press conference, emphasizing a “process-driven program” built on toughness, discipline, and relentless daily work. Auburn fans can already feel the energy shift, with excitement buzzing across The Plains as recruiting momentum builds.
We also dive deep into Auburn’s quarterback situation — with Duce Knight, Ashton Daniels, and a possible transfer from Golesh’s former USF system all in play. What does this QB competition mean for Auburn’s 2025 offense? Can Golesh tailor his scheme to the right signal-caller fast enough to compete in the SEC?
Plus, hear our reactions to Auburn’s bowl game possibilities, the fan travel reputation that keeps Auburn in demand, and what this all means for recruiting inside the 250-mile radius Golesh promised to dominate.
