Auburn defensive coordinator Ellis Johnson has been fired, a source familiar with the decision told AL.com.
The second-year coordinator, who has coached at four SEC schools, was alerted Sunday of his termination by coach Gus Malzahn, according to AuburnUndercover.com. FootballScoop.com was the first to report the departure.
Auburn's defense allowed 30 points or more in the final six SEC games of the season, the worst stretch in school history. The Tigers allowed an average of 39 points during that time.
The Tigers are coming off a 55-44 loss at No. 1 Alabama, the defense's worst performance since 2012.
Malzahn said Saturday he wasn't ready to address Johnson's job status.
"I'm not going there right now," Malzahn said in the aftermath of the loss. "Right now we're disappointed we got beat and that's it."
Auburn will be searching for its fourth defensive coordinator in the last five years.

Thank God!!!

Is he the worst defensive coordinator we've had since the year 2000?
Even David Gibbs was helped out by Tuberville.
Roof was never THIS bad.
Van Gorder sucked, but I'm not sure I can pin the suckage on him considering what was going on in the entire program.

I've been told there's mutual interest between Malzahn and Muschamp. Would be a formidable pair on respective sides of ball.

They both swiped right on the coaching Tinder?

It's premature to discuss this in a public forum but I can say that it looks like Ellis Johnson may be gone. Just stand by and I will let you know what you need to know when I can.

Yes, yes it does

Glad to see it. Hate it for him but wow, my 14 year old was asking questions about why you cover Cooper with one guy for 4 quarters. I'm not an X's and O's guy and I had numerous head scratching moments last night.

I'm glad Gus made this decision as quickly as he did. Now I'm all about some Muschamp. All I want for Christmas is Muschamp as our DC!

Muschamp, Rhoades or Bo Pelini

Pelini will land somewhere as a Head Coach again.

I didn't intend to touch you, honestly.
Since you've been gone, I was able to finally get Chizad banned.
Me no want Boom Boom but we could do much worse. Bill Clark deserves an interview if he wants it. I suspect Champ may be the man.

No truer words have ever been spoken. Ever.

I thought about that. How it would be ironic. All those PHS boys he sent to the turds. And if we hired him, it would chap some ass somewhere.
