Auburn gets burned...Hurtt staying at Louisville

Not to often does a coach turn down an offer to coach in a SEC position, try never, until now! Word first surfaced Wednesday that the Cardinals defensive line coach had interviewed for the same position at Auburn. A day later, Hurtt’s boss reported via Twitter that his assistant is staying put. "Big news! The big hurtt is staying with the cardinals," head coach Charlie Strong tweeted late this morning. It’s unclear whether Hurtt was offered the position and turned it down, or whether he simply decided to stay at his current job. Or, if Auburn decided to go in another direction after the interview.

Former Minnesota assistant Tim Cross is also reportedly a candidate, and is expected to interview for the defensive line job in short order, if he hasn’t interviewed already.
