The news comes one day after news broke that Colorado defensive coordinator and SEC veteran Charles Kelly would be joining the Auburn staff. Kelly is expected to help in the secondary and recruit at a high level.
Kelly was in the running to be Auburn’s defensive coordinator when Freeze took the job, but the position went to Roberts. Kelly now returns to his alma mater for the first time since being a GA in 1993.
