Auburn is putting together its first coaching staff under new head coach Hugh Freeze, and that means big changes.
Philip Montgomery has been brought in as the offensive coordinator, with Ron Roberts joining the staff as the defensive coordinator. Both hires were made official on Wednesday.
On Thursday, it was reported by Justin Hokanson of On3 Sports that Roberts and Freeze were making a change at the LB coach spot, letting go of popular assistant Christian Robinson:

Per Hokanson’s report, Auburn is expected to bring in former Liberty LB coach/co-DC Josh Aldridge to fill the LB coach role for the Tigers.
Robinson played linebacker at Georgia from 2009 to 2012. He joined Auburn’s coaching staff under Bryan Harsin in January of 2022.
