A report by a highly-respected website was published on Friday evening that stated that Louisiana Ragin' Cajun head football coach Billy Napier will soon interview with Auburn about its head coaching vacancy. John Brice of FootballScoop reported that Napier will speak with Auburn officials this weekend. Brice says in that article that Napier, along with that Alabama offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian, Clemson offensive coordinator Tony Elliott, and Auburn defensive coordinator Kevin Steele are slated to speak this weekend to Tigers officials. Earlier this month, FootballScoop listed Napier as one of five early candidates for the position, which became vacant following the dismissal of former Auburn head coach Gus Malzahn, who was dismissed after guiding the Tigers to a 6-4 record this season, while compiling an overall record of 68-35 over eight years at the school.
