Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
AUBURN, Ala., Jan. 2 (UPI) -- Auburn, which ended the season with
three straight losses, announced Wednesday that offensive coordinator Noel Mazzone and his defensive counterpart, John Lovett, have resigned.
Both coordinators served under Coach Tommy Tuberville at Mississippi from 1995-98 and the last three seasons at Auburn.
"I met with both Noel and Joel and it was mutually determined that it was in the best interest of the Auburn football program
that they pursue other opportunities," Tuberville said. "I value the friendships that I have with both of them. I know that they have bright futures ahead of them."
Auburn finished with a 7-5 record, including a 5-3 mark in the Southeastern Conference. The Tigers were routed, 31-7, by 7 and suffered a 27-14 loss at Louisiana State on Dec. 1 in a game that decided first place in the SEC West. Auburn was defeated, 16-10, by North Carolina in the Peach Bowl on New Year's Eve.
Auburn's offense finished 10th out of 12 teams in the SEC, while the defense was fourth.
