Auburn lining up candidates to fill staff vacancy

According to the Birmingham News, Clint Hurtt was on campus interviewing for the job Wednesday, with Tim Cross reportedly on Chizik’s to-do list in the not-too-distant future. Hurtt is currently the defensive line coach and recruiting coordinator at Louisville. Prior to following Charlie Strong to the Cardinals last year, Hurtt was the recruiting coordinator at Miami of Florida. Those recruiting ties to South Florida would certainly make him an attractive candidate to Chizik and the Tigers. Cross spent the past four years at Minnesota, the last three as both associate head coach and defensive line coach. Prior to that, he was line coach at Syracuse for two years (2005-06) as well as spending three years as Texas’ assistant strength & conditioning coach.
