A daunting task lies ahead for interim Auburn coach Cadillac Williams and a retooled coaching staff, but it's one the former Auburn All-American running back and program legend is embracing.
offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach Eric Kiesau and tight ends coach Brad Bedell, were fired Monday afternoon
Williams is just the third interim coach in Auburn history, following Bill Oliver and Kevin Steele . Oliver went 2-3 in five games in that role, while Steele lost his only game as interim coach, the Citrus Bowl against Northwestern. So far this season, those interim coaches are 14-15 overall. Wisconsin’s Jim Leonhard and Charlotte’s Pete Rossomando are the only ones with winning records. Vincent and Georgia Tech’s Brent Key have their respective teams at .500 under their watch, while Nebraska’s Mickey Joseph , Arizona State’s Shaun Aguano and Colorado’s Mike Sanford haven’t quite been able to turn things around for their programs since taking over.
Williams has a chance to succeed at Auburn, which despite its struggles this season has what on paper looks like a manageable November schedule. Along with Saturday’s trip to Starkville, Miss.
