Andy Burcham evaluates Auburn’s coaching situation, says ‘it’s John Cohen’s call’
Published:
The coaching carousel is still in full spin at Auburn, and where it will stop, nobody knows.
“Voice of the Tigers” announcer Andy Burcham joined “McElroy and Cubelic in the Morning” on WJOX on Wednesday to give a rundown on the coaching situation. The longtime Tiger broadcaster was asked about Cadillac Williams becoming the permanent head coach, and had several thoughts on the situation.
“It would be a feel good story for Auburn if it happens. John Cohen is the one leading this search, and John Cohen is the one that is going to make the call, not the Auburn family, not the Auburn powerbrokers, it’s going to be John Cohen.”
Burcham was also asked to what degree emotion was playing a part in the coaching choice, responding that it may play a small factor.
“It’s John Cohen’s call, and I think he’s going about it in a systematic way. Is there emotion when it comes to this? Absolutely there is. I think that just shows you how beloved coach Williams is at Auburn. But, I don’t know how much emotion is playing a factor in John Cohen’s search.”
The voice of the @AuburnTigers, @ABurcham04, joined the guys on @MacandCube to weigh in on the possibility that Cadillac Williams has the interim tag removed & discuss if emotions will interfere with the Tigers' coaching search.

Auburn hired Cohen as AD last month to replace Allen Greene, who left right before the season began. Cohen will lead the charge to replace head coach Bryan Harsin, who was fired after two tumultuous seasons on The Plains.
