Could The Head Ball Coach Be Heading To Auburn

WSFA-TV in Montgomery, Alabama is reporting that Auburn may... may offer its head coaching job to Steve Spurrier. WSFA is citing sources within the coaching profession saying their is strong indications that the head ball coach is Auburn's top choice.

Spurrier is saying that his coaching future is at South Carolina. Are we seeing some posturing? Our question is why? Why would Spurrier go to Auburn? Maybe the challenge of putting down a coach in the state of Alabama that has a even bigger ego. That would be Nick Saban.

OSG sources tell us that the Spurrier offer is a reach but it's Auburn and nothing would be a surprise.

We do know that TCU head coach Gary Patterson was interviewed Thursday. The 7th candidate to do so.

Jay Jacobs, whose next to perform on Auburn's version of America's Coaching Idol.

UPDATE:

Fox 10 in Mobile - Pensacola reported late last night that Will Muschamp will "likely" be announced as the new head football coach at Auburn. Muschamp has denied that report and told the Atlanta Journal Constitution: “I have not talked to Auburn about this job and I have no interest in the job,” said Muschamp. “I really don’t know what else to say. I’m going to stay at Texas until they fire me.” There you go.

There's no way Muschamp is taking the Auburn gig. He and Jay Jacobs did not part ways on the best of terms.
