Jeff Schmedding has Auburn playing top-10 defense since coaching change Published: Nov. 22, 2022, 11:12 a.m. 5–7 minutes Auburn’s coaching staff was thrown into disarray on Halloween. Bryan Harsin and six other staff members were all fired amid the team’s 3-5 start to the season. Five of the six who were shown the door previously followed Harsin from Boise State to Auburn when he first took the job on the Plains. When the decision was made to fire Harsin, the Tigers promptly cut those Boise State ties — well, except for one. Defensive coordinator Jeff Schmedding was the lone former Boise State staff to be retained during the process, making for a potentially uneasy situation for the 44-year-old assistant coach. Read more Auburn football: With Cadillac Williams, Auburn’s offense finally has an identity: ‘Big-boy football’ Auburn ‘playing with house money’ as big Iron Bowl underdogs: ‘Nobody gives us a chance in hell’ Statistically speaking: Auburn’s pass defense tracking toward best season since 2017 “When you go through that, it is difficult, and we are all part of what happened, so it is difficult seeing families go through those types of things, but at the same time you have an opportunity to keep working—and keep working for these players,” Schmedding said Monday, speaking to the media for the first time since Harsin’s firing. “That is how I have looked at it. It is an opportunity to work for Coach Cadillac, and spread his message, and work for the players–same thing we talked about with the players. “You can choose to point fingers, you can choose to split, but if you want to be successful you have to come together as a team and fight.” While Schmedding is the last former Boise State assistant still standing on the Plains, the decision to retain him — even after cutting ties with the rest, and even after Auburn’s defense gave up more 40-point games through the first two months than it has in any single season in program history — has paid off handsomely. Auburn’s defense has undergone a midseason renaissance, with the unit turning a corner and putting up three quality performances since the shakeup within the program. Since giving up a quick start to Mississippi State after a short week of scrambled preparation following the coaching change, Auburn’s defense has been stout. The Tigers gave up just nine second-half points against the Bulldogs while rallying back from a 21-point first-half deficit before ultimately falling in overtime. The unit was dominant in a win against Texas A&M, not allowing a point until the fourth quarter and limiting the Aggies to negative yardage in the third quarter. Auburn followed it up with a second-half shutout and suffocating effort against Western Kentucky last weekend. “He’s been letting us just play,” defensive tackle Colby Wooden said. “He knows we’re going to make some mistakes, but he’s just letting us play. It’s nothing new. Like I said earlier, we ain’t got nothing to lose so we’re just playing. We’re just having fun playing football.” During that stretch, the pass defense has had its best three-game span since 2019, holding each of those three offenses to fewer than 6 yards per pass attempt. The run defense, which was leaky earlier this season, has given up less than 200 yards total in those three games while limiting opponents to 2.7 yards per carry. Auburn has also held its last three opponents to an average of 323.3 yards per game and 4.25 yards per play. That’s good for ninth nationally and best in the SEC in November. In the three games prior, opponents averaged 532.7 yards per game and 6.92 yards per play, with each scoring more than 40 points against the Tigers. “Wow,” interim coach Cadillac Williams said. “Tip my hat to Coach Schmedding and that defense…. I think very highly of Schmedding, man. He’s a technician; he’s a teacher; he knows the game of football in and out. He can get those players to truly play for him — along with coach Roc (Bellantoni), coach (Zac) Etheridge, coach (Jimmy) Brumbaugh. Those guys are doing a really good job, man, and they’ve got those guys flying around and playing Auburn defense. “To me, defense is about effort, getting 11 men to the ball. Whenever you do that, you create takeaways. The ball falls your way. I’m proud of Coach Schmedding and that staff for what they’re doing on defense.” According to Schmedding, not much has changed for Auburn schematically over the last three weeks, but the defense has settled in more and refocused on personnel and playing loose. The Tigers are rotating more players throughout the lineup, which has helped keep key guys fresh deeper into games, which has been apparent with the defense’s second-half performances in recent weeks. It has all helped Schmedding enjoy success during what could have been an uncomfortable situation. “It has been a blessing to see those guys come together, and really just the effort and the fight that they have had,” Schmedding said. “It has been enjoyable to watch. These situations, unfortunately — I have not been in many of these, but these situations can certainly go the other way, but I think everybody has rallied around Coach Williams and his message of serve, discipline and believe. And just fight, keep fighting. “That is really what we ask of anybody. You can quit or you can fight, and they have chosen to fight.” Tom Green is an Auburn beat reporter for Alabama Media Group.

in fact one was a mod that agreed with me.

you know no one knew in the beginning right? i agree he is not what folks thought he was. i am just saying all the sportscasters were singing his praises and they did in fact call him a genius and a savant if you will. i have people agreeing with me on the likes they just do not want to get in an argument.

i will always stand up for the truth no matter how small it might be. especially if you are trying to embarrass someone on here. i am done here so you guys are welcome to pile on all you want. this is what some of you guys do if you disagree with someone.

no sh*t. you mean just like i was not talking to you in this thread?

i am not trolling. he said in caps gus was not a genuis and was never considered a genius. this is not true. go back and read what he said. and what i said is right. period.

oh bullcrap. you told the kid gus was not considered a genius and he was. this cannot be refuted. it circulated in the media for a while. i have not said gus is a better coach period. i am pretty sure lane is better. but this is a discussion board and i am allowed to give my viewpoint just like you.

gus was a genius in 2013. he looked like one with cam. all i am saying is the guy was technically correct. he was considered a genius until the wheels fell off. and no it is not a comparison and i just wanted the kid you were talking to was right.

i am not comparing them at all and i told you this once. i was just saying gus was considered a genius for a while by the media and the usual suspects. nothing more.

i was not sure we would win another game after we fired harsin but then i was not sure we would with harsin still coach.

because the guy you addressed was right. and i realize cam helped a lot. but after our natty and 2013 he was called that quite a bit. and i am not comparing lane to anyone so i am not sure where you got that dag.

to be fair he was considered a genius by many in the sports world at times and then he became average after saban cried about the hunh.

yes he did and we ignored him other than giving him an interview.

with the mid season turmoil and losing a lot of players i think he has been outstanding. and he adjustments at halftime are refreshing to me. i think friend has as well. if we had a decent passing qb i think he looks really really well. i will say regardless of who we keep and who we pass on i will be forever be grateful for those that stayed to help us in our time of need.

i would go roll his yard but i cannot run much anymore and i suspect with his paint gun stuff he has real weapons and if he is that big of a richard he might shoot.

what do you think about schmedding? his D seems to be improving and we have no depth. do we give him a look? it is my understanding the staff and players really like him. i am not saying he should be our coach but what are the knocks against him other than being part of harsins staff? anyone?

Auburn in the NBA: Jabari Smith and Isaac Okoro both have big nights Andrew Stefaniak ~2 minutes Both Jabari Smith and Isaac Okoro played on Sunday, November 20th, and put up big numbers for their teams. Smith and the Rockets took on the Golden State Warriors, while Okoro and the Cavaliers took on the Miami Heat. Smith has had a slow start to his NBA career but had a big night against the defending NBA Champions. He dropped 22 points on 8-of-14 shooting from the field. Smith also had seven rebounds and an assist to go with his 22 points. The struggle for Smith in his short NBA career so far has been his shooting. He has done well rebounding and playing defense. Once the shots start to fall for Smith, he will be a force to be reckoned with in the league. Like Smith, Okoro has had a tough start to the season. Okoro lost his starting job and has had his minutes cut. But he came off the bench against the Heat and scored 13 points on 4-8 shooting. Okoro also had four rebounds and two assists to go with his 13 points. The best stat of the night from Okoro was his incredible +/-, which was +26. The Cavaliers were a great basketball team with Okoro on the court. Hopefully, big nights from these young players will foreshadow what is to come throughout the rest of the season.

Tigers tip off Cancun Challenge with Bradley in first game Auburn University Athletics 4–5 minutes AUBURN, Ala. – It will be 35 years in March since Auburn men's basketball played Bradley in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Chris Morris led the Tigers with 36 points and 12 rebounds. Bradley's Hersey Hawkins, an NBA All-Star, led all scorers with 44 points. But it was Auburn who prevailed in the end with a 90-86 victory. On Tuesday, the two teams will meet again in the first round of the Cancun Challenge. A lot has changed in 35 years, but Auburn head coach Bruce Pearl – who talked to Morris on Tuesday – knows his team will get all they can handle from Bradley. "I think Bradley will be the best team we've played this season," Pearl said. "One of the things I tried to explain to my guys is Bradley was like one of those mid-major programs that have always thought of themselves as being a high major right there in the state of Illinois," Pearl continued. "Big city, a great following, big building. I would imagine they're going to have a lot of people here." The Braves, who are 3-1 this season, finished 11-7 in the Missouri Valley Conference a year ago and nearly pulled off upsets against Xavier and Missouri. For Auburn, ranked No. 13 in the latest AP Poll, it will be unchartered territory this week in Mexico as they play away from Auburn Arena for the first time this season. "Adversity reveals character," Pearl said. "It doesn't just build it. I would imagine we're going to see some adversity, and how we react and how we respond, I think, will go a long way as we continue to become a better basketball team." Auburn and Bradley will tip off at 5 p.m. CT from the Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya in Cancun. Andy Burcham and Sonny Smith will have the radio call on 93.9 Tiger FM, online at AuburnTigers.com and on the TuneIn app. The game will also be televised on CBS Sports Network with Brett Dolan and Pete Gillen on the call. The winner will advance to play either Northwestern (4-0) or Liberty (2-2) in Wednesday night's championship game to be played at 7:30 p.m. CT. PLAYER TO WATCH: JAYLIN WILLIAMS Senior forward Jaylin Williams is one of two four-year veterans on this year's squad averaging 20 or more minutes a game (24.7), along with Allen Flanigan (22.4). In Friday's win over Texas Southern, Williams scored in double figures for the first time this season with 14 points and knocked down a pair of 3-pointers. It marked his 23rd career game in double digits. He also finished with a career-high four steals in the contest. AGAINST THE TOURNAMENT FIELD Auburn leads 2-0 in the all-time series with Bradley. The teams last met on Dec. 16, 1999, in Mobile, Alabama where the Tigers won 78-64. The only other meeting was in the first round of the 1988 NCAA Tournament (W, 90-86) in Atlanta. Against the rest of the Riviera Division field, the Tigers have never played Northwestern on the hardwood and are 1-0 all-time against Liberty. The lone win came on Dec. 8, 1995, when Auburn beat the Flames 63-58 in Waco, Texas. STRENGTH IN NUMBERS With a rotation of 11, 12 and sometimes 13 players, Auburn currently ranks 30th in the nation in bench points per game (35.4) showing their depth. Through four games, 11 players are averaging double-digit minutes compared to nine in 2021-22. Bench Points George Mason: 25 (36%) USF: 34 (51%) Winthrop: 39 (44%) Texas Southern: 26 (36%) WORLD TRAVELERS With this week's visit to Cancun, the Tigers are about to embark on a stretch of racking up the frequent flyer miles over the next two months with trips to Cancun (880 miles), Los Angeles (1,946 miles) and Seattle (2,182). This will be the team's second international trip after taking a preseason foreign tour to Israel in August (6,437 miles).
