BREAKING: DJ Durkin STAYS at Auburn! Huge Move for Golesh | Auburn Football Podcast
Description
Auburn Football just made one of its most important offseason moves — Defensive Coordinator DJ Durkin is returning for the 2025 season under new Head Coach Alex Golesh. This episode of The Auburn Express, powered by The War Rapport, breaks down every angle of this decision, from recruiting implications to defensive continuity and locker room chemistry.
After nearly being in line for the head coaching position, Durkin’s decision to remain says everything about his character and belief in Auburn’s future. In this episode, Mike G and guests discuss what this means for Auburn’s defensive identity, the relationships between Golesh and Durkin, and how the Tigers can keep momentum rolling after a strong defensive showing in 2024.
We also discuss the impact on recruiting, especially for elite linebackers like Elijah Melendez and Xavier Atkins, who flourished under Durkin’s system. The message is clear — Auburn’s defense isn’t rebuilding; it’s reloading.
