At least Murray Warmath, Darrell Royal, and Bob Tyler all coached other Division I football teams after leaving MSU. The last time an Auburn head football coach coached another Division I team after leaving Auburn was the 1940s.
Learn something new every day: Auburn is a worse coaching graveyard than MSU
- Thread starter Maroon Eagle
- Start date
Shug Jordan coached there 25 seasons. Retired
Doug Barfield coached there 5 seasons. Sucked.
Pat Dye coached there 12 seasons. Retired.
Tommy Tuberville coached there 10 seasons. Presently getting $2.6 million/year severance pay for the few years. If I were him, I'd sit on my *** for a year or two and maybe score a broadcast gig with ESPN.
Seems to me that 4 coaches over 58 seasons is pretty stable.

Tenn. has had the stability, 2 coaches over 31 years.

Mutt, Just letting you know that it was a Bama fan who had told me about Auburn being a coaching graveyard.
No ex-head coach from AU has gone directly to another HC job. Since 1946, none. Maroon Eagle is right.Maroon Eagle said:
Carl Voyles moved from being head coach of Auburn in 1947 to the Brooklyn Dodgers of the old All-American Football Conference in 1948.
Jack Meagher coached the Tigers in 1942 and the following year was at Iowa Pre-Flight, which played the equivalent of a Division I schedule during World War II.
The last Auburn head coach to coach at a Division I college was Chet Wynne who left Auburn after the 1933 season for Kentucky.
