Auburn football players campaigning for Cadillac Williams as head coach

After an incredible weekend on the Plains, it’s safe to say that the Auburn football program is back up. Even without a head coach in place, the 3-win Tigers (now four, of course) played in front of a sold out crowd with electric energy in Jordan-Hare Stadium.

Not only did Auburn football defeat the Texas A&M Aggies, but the university also celebrated the opening of the new, football-only facility worth over 90 million dollars. With just two regular-season games left on the schedule, and important recruiting deadlines coming up at the beginning of December, the program is inching closer to making its next hire.

Though much of the buzz right now is surrounding Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin, who is widely considered as the favorite in the search, current Auburn football players are showing their support for interim head coach Cadillac Williams and the amazing job he’s done since taking over from Bryan Harsin.

While there is absolutely no doubt that Cadillac has helped transform the program and fan base in what has been a mostly dreadful season, it’s not likely that he is gunning for his first head coaching job just yet. He has no head coaching experience, and was somewhat thrown in to the fire when he was named interim HC.

However, retaining Caddy on the staff should be a non-negotiable for the next head coach of Auburn football. It’s clear that he is extremely important to and has a great impact on the student-athletes, and the future of the football program.
