Cadillac Williams has changed Paul Finebaum’s view of his job outlook “dramatically” in the last week, as Auburn is coming off an emotional win over Texas A&M before a festive Jordan-Hare Stadium. Would Auburn remove the interim tag from Williams’ job title?

“I think it has changed things now, because you’re getting an opportunity to see what a coach’s impact is on players,” Finebaum said on WJOX’s “McElroy and Cubelic In the morning.” “First you have to determine, are we overreacting to the moment because of the comatose level of excitement that Bryan Harsin brought. Yeah, probably, but that doesn’t matter. If it’s real, and only the people on that campus can tell if it’s real and Cole, you’ve been on that campus and know that it is.”

Put simply, Finebaum said, “I think you have to consider Carnell Williams today as a legitimate candidate for the job.”
