toddc 13,194 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Source: Auburn goes with familiar face at recruiting coordinator ByBRANDON MARCELLO 14 minutes ago Share0 Comments AUBURN, Alabama — Auburn linebackers coach Travis Williams is adding yet another title to his duties on the football staff. Williams has added duties as recruiting coordinator to his responsibilities as co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach, a person familiar with the situation tells Auburn Undercover. Williams, who earned $450,500 last season, is expected to receive a salary bump as well. Williams replaces Marcus Woodson as the recruiting coordinator. The defensive backs coach left Auburn for the same position as DBs coach at Florida State earlier this month. Williams added the title of co-defensive coordinator alongside coordinator Kevin Steele in February 2019. Steele still handles play-calling duties.

Zeek 16,650 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Works for me, TWill has been a home run hire overall and a great recruiter. Just need our LB’s to look a little better in coverage this year lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s hard to put run stuffers in coverage against a WR and then be like “go make a play” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swamp Eagle 5,140 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 His best quality is he's an over-achiever. Should serve him, and Auburn, well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he’s gonna be with us for quite some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUsince72 11,084 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Meh.....easy job. I could do it. You just make a list of every 4* & 5* player, at every position, and say "Go get'im!" and send The Bag Man to their homes. Easy Peasy!!! That's how Napoleon does it...

Guys like Owen Papoe should make a huge difference in the versatility of our defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recruiting coordinators spearhead a team's recruiting efforts, run the recruiting board, screen prospect's highlight tapes, communicate with recruiting services and formulate relationships with high school coaches, among a ton of other duties. Plus, they still have to coach a position. It's a big job that is among the most important hires a head coach makes when assembling his staff.
