GENE
CHIZIK
HEAD COACH (4TH SEASON)
Auburn head coach Gene Chizik, in his fourth year has led the program to more wins (30) than any coach in the school’s rich football history in their first three seasons, including the program’s
first national championship in over 50 years, when his Tigers won the 2010 BCS National Championship.
In 2011, Chizik led a youthful team comprised of 65 percent scholarship underclassmen to an 8-5 mark and a victory over Virginia in the Chick-fil-A Bowl. Auburn had the nation’s second most
difficult schedule, as it faced six teams that were ranked in the Top 10 at one point during the season.
Chizik’s second season at Auburn was one for the ages as the program won the BCS National Championship over Oregon, 22-19, and the SEC Championship, while he earned Home Depot
and Liberty Mutual National Coach of the Year honors, as well as AP SEC Coach of the Year accolades. The 2010 Auburn squad went a perfect 14-0, recording the program’s first title since 1957,
and its first conference crown since 2004.
Auburn achieved success in 2010 despite a rugged schedule that included 10 games against bowl-eligible teams. In fact, Auburn was the only team in the country that won seven games against
teams ranked in the final Associated Press Top 25 poll.
Chizik has placed his stamp firmly on the Auburn program, including a “never say quit” attitude that saw Auburn rally from four double-digit deficits to win in 2010, including the largest
comeback in school history when the Tigers turned a 24-0 deficit at Alabama into a 28-27 victory.
Chizik has also excelled in close games, as the Tigers won seven games in 2010 by single digits, including five games that were decided by just three points or less, which is the most in one
season in school history. Auburn has won 11 games in his three seasons in which the Tigers trailed or were tied in the fourth quarter.
Auburn players have achieved national awards under his guidance, as Cam Newton won the Heisman Trophy, Maxwell Award, Walter Camp Player of the Year Award and the Davey O’Brien
Award in 2010, while Nick Fairley won the Lombardi Award.
Auburn’s success in 2010 started a year earlier, after Chizik inherited a team that had finished 5-7 in 2008
and he quickly began rebuilding the program. During his first season as Auburn’s head coach, Chizik led the
Tigers to an 8-5 record and a victory over Northwestern in the 2010 Outback Bowl on New Year’s Day. He became
the first head coach in school history to lead his team to a bowl game in his first season, just the third coach
in Auburn history to win his first five games as head coach and only the third SEC coach since the conference
expanded in 1992 to win his first five games.
Chizik’s first Auburn squad set numerous team and individual records, including team records for most points
and total yards in a season - records that Auburn broke again in 2010. The Tigers had a knack for playing well in
big games, winning four games against teams that played in bowl games during the 2009 season.
Auburn has not only enjoyed success on the field under Chizik’s tenure, but it has excelled in building for the
future as the Tigers had the No. 1 nationally ranked recruiting class in 2011 according to Scout.com, the No. 8
ranked class by Scout.com in 2012, and the No. 4 ranked class in 2010 both Rivals.com and ESPN/Scouts Inc.
In July 2011, Chizik released his first book, “All In:What It Takes to Be the Best”, which chronicles his coaching
career, the pivotal role his faith has played in his life and career, and his secrets to success, both on and off the
field. Published by Tyndale House Publishers, David Thomas, a senior writer and columnist for the Fort Worth
Star-Telegram, collaborated on the book with Chizik. All of Chizik’s proceeds from the book have gone to The
Chizik Family You Turn Foundation, Inc., which assists children and youth in the Auburn community.
The program’s defensive coordinator from 2002-04, Chizik was named Auburn’s 26th head coach on Decem-
ber 13, 2008, after serving the two previous seasons as head coach at Iowa State. A 23-year coaching veteran,
Chizik helped Auburn and Texas to consecutive undefeated seasons in 2004 and 2005. His three-year stint as
Auburn’s defensive coordinator culminated in 2004, when he helped guide the Tigers to a 13-0 season while
earning the Frank Broyles Award as the nation’s top assistant coach.
Chizik also served as the assistant head coach and co-defensive coordinator at Texas from 2005-06 where he
helped the Longhorns to a perfect season and national championship in 2005.
During his tenure at Auburn, Chizik’s 2004 defense led the nation in scoring defense (11.3 ppg) and was fifth
2 012 M E D I A G U I D E 64 AUBURNTIGERS.COM
AU B U R N T I G E R S FO OTBALL
nationally in total defense, allowing just 277.6 yards per contest. In three years at Auburn, Chizik helped
the Tigers to a 30-9 mark including an 18-6 Southeastern Conference record. In 2003, Auburn’s defense
was fifth nationally in total defense.
In his two seasons in Austin, the Longhorns were 22-3. At one point, he was a part of 29 consecutive
victories, which began in 2003 at Auburn and ended in 2006 at Texas.
Chizik’s reputation as an outstanding teacher is evident by the fact that he tutored a remarkable
three consecutive Thorpe Award winners, starting with Auburn’s Carlos Rogers in 2004, followed by Texas’
Michael Huff and Aaron Ross in 2005 and 2006, respectively.
During his two seasons at Iowa State, the 46-year old Chizik was in the midst of a rebuilding process,
directing the Cyclones to a 5-19 mark. The Iowa State administration rewarded Chizik’s leadership and
vision for the program by offering him a two-year contract extension following the 2008 season.
Chizik’s first win came against intrastate rival Iowa in 2007, making him the first Cyclone coach since
1907 to beat the Hawkeyes in his inaugural season. The 2007 season also included conference wins over Kansas State and bowl-bound Colorado.
Auburn’s undefeated season of 2004 saw one of the best defensive teams ever to wear a Tigers uniform. Not only did they lead the nation in scoring defense, but they surrendered just four
rushing touchdowns all season, including allowing none over the first eight games of the season. That vaunted 2004 defense featured eight of 11 starters that went on to play in the NFL, includ-
ing 2005 first-round draft pick cornerback Carlos Rogers and defensive lineman Jay Ratliff, who earned All-Pro honors with the Dallas Cowboys in 2008.
The 2003 AU defense under Chizik was just as talent laden as the undefeated squad, as eight of 11 starters went on to play in the NFL as well. Led by first-team All-SEC picks Karlos Dansby,
DeMarco McNeil and Dontarious Thomas, Auburn was fifth nationally in total defense, seventh in rushing defense and ninth in the country in scoring defense.
By allowing less than 300 yards of total offense in consecutive seasons in 2003 (281.6 ypg) and 2004 (277.6 ypg), it marked the first time at Auburn since a six-year run from 1985-90, that an
Auburn defense had accomplished the feat in back-to-back campaigns.
In his first season at Auburn, Chizik took a club that was 39th nationally in total defense the season before he arrived and improved it to 26th in the country while holding three Top 10 teams -
LSU, Alabama and Penn State - to less than 10 points each en route to victory.
During his 39 games at Auburn as defensive coordinator, the Tigers were able to defeat nine Top 10 programs, win three bowl games, and hold 24 of 39 opponents to two touchdowns or less,
including 14 that managed single digits against his aggressive, physical defenses.
He also tutored three All-Americans in Dansby, Rogers and Junior Rosegreen and had
nine players earn 10 first-team All-SEC honors. Chizik had 10 players over three seasons that
went on to be NFL draft picks. Chizik’s defense played an integral part in Texas’ 2005 national
championship season as the Longhorns ranked eighth nationally in scoring defense, 10th in
total defense and fourth in pass efficiency defense. UT allowed opponents to reach 300 yards of
total offense only five times in 2005 and held the remaining eight opponents to less than 267
yards. Ten UT defenders were all-Big 12 Conference selections, including four who made the
first team.
In 2006, Chizik’s Longhorn defenders were second nationally against the rush (58.8 ypg.)
after 12 games, including limiting No. 1 Ohio State to just 79 yards on the ground. His aggres-
sive schemes resulted in 100 tackles for loss, 96 quarterback hurries and 30 takeaways during
the 2006 regular season.
Chizik coached six Longhorns to All-American honors in his two seasons, including Aaron
Harris, Michael Huff and Rod Wright in 2005, and Tim Crowder, Michael Griffin and Aaron Ross
in 2006. His defensive players earned 18 All-Big 12 awards during his tenure.
Prior to his arrival at Auburn, Chizik was the defensive coordinator for four seasons (1998-
01) at Central Florida, where he improved a unit that was 81st nationally in total defense
before his arrival to one that was 16th in the country in 2001.
Chizik spent six seasons at Stephen F. Austin from 1992-97, overseeing the linebackers
(1992-94) and secondary (1995-97). While at Stephen F. Austin, Chizik helped the Lumberjacks
to back-to-back NCAA Division I-AA playoffs, including a national semifinal appearance in
1995.
He began his coaching career as defensive coordinator (1986-88) at Seminole High School
in St. Petersburg, Fla., before becoming a graduate assistant at Clemson for a pair of 10-win
teams in 1988-89. Chizik’s first full-time college coaching position came at Middle Tennessee
State, where he helped lead the Blue Raiders to NCAA Division I-AA playoffs in both of his
seasons (1990-91) and to a conference championship in 1990.
Chizik earned his B.A. degree in education from Florida in 1985 and his M.A. in guidance
and counseling from Clemson in 1991.
A Clearwater, Fla., native, Chizik and his wife, Jonna, have identical twin daughters, Landry
Grace and Kennedy Danielle, and a son, Cally.

As special teams coordinator, Boulware directed the Auburn efforts that led the SEC in kickoff return yards (1264/24.3 avg), kick return touchdowns (2), kickoff coverage (546 yards) and fewest
punts returned (10) for the 2011 campaign. He also tutored All-America punter Steven Clark, a 2011 Ray Guy Award finalist.
In 2010, Boulware coached Tigers’ kicker Wes Byrum to consecutive record-breaking seasons which culminated with a 19-yard field goal as time expired to give Auburn a 22-19 victory over
Oregon in the 2011 BCS National Championship Game. Under Boulware’s tutelage, Byrum set an Auburn single-season record for points by a kicker (99) in 2009 and followed that by breaking
that record in 2010 with 123 points.
Additionally, Byrum set a single-season Auburn record for field goal percentage (93.8), connecting on 15-of-16 field goals, and set a school record for conversions and attempts, going 54-of-
54 on PATs in his first season under Boulware.
Auburn’s kickoff return defense was the third-best and 16th nationally, allowing just 19.7 yards per return in 2010. The Tigers’ punt return defense led the SEC and was ninth in the nation last
season, allowing just 4.6 yards per return.
The Tigers kickoff return unit was fourth in the SEC and 25th nationally with a 23.5 yard per return average and led the SEC with 1482 return yards.
Boulware also guided Demond Washington to an Auburn single-season record for kickoff return average, as Washington’s average of 31.1 yards per return led the SEC and ranked sixth
nationally. Washington also set an Auburn single-game record with 202 kickoff return yards on five returns vs. Georgia.
Prior to coming to Auburn, Boulware served as running backs coach and special teams coordinator at Iowa State for two seasons from 2007-08. He also coached at Texas, Northern Illinois,
Arizona, Stanford and Utah, and has coached all-conference players at three different positions in three different conferences.
In 2008 under Boulware, Iowa State ranked 12th nationally in kickoff returns, behind Rivals.com second-team freshman All-American kick returner Leonard Johnson. Johnson set an NCAA

OFFENSIVE LINE (4TH SEASON)
Jeff Grimes is in his fourth year as offensive line coach for the Tigers and has instructed a unit that paved the way for some of the most explosive offenses in the nation the past few seasons.
During Auburn’s 2010 national championship season, Grimes’ coached an offensive line that set school records for total yards of offense (6,989) and points (577) for a second consecutive
season. The Tigers led the Southeastern Conference and were fifth nationally in rushing yards per game (284.8) and led the SEC in scoring (41.2 ppg).
The 2010 Tigers set school records for rushing touchdowns (41), passing touchdowns (31), rushing yardage (3,987) and had three offensive lineman earn individual honors. Tackle Lee Ziemba,
a consensus All-America selection who earned the Jacobs Trophy as the SEC’s best blocker, was taken by the Carolina Panthers in the NFL Draft. Guard Byron Isom was named second team All-
SEC and center Ryan Pugh earned third team All-America honors.
Grimes helped establish the unit that set numerous school records, including points in a season (433), most total yards of offense in a season (5,613) and most plays in a season (914).
Auburn’s 266 first downs in 2009 was the second-best total in school history, and its average of 431.8 yards per game ranked fourth. The Tigers also had the seventh-most rushing yards (2,756) in
a single season in Auburn history.
Prior to coming to Auburn, Grimes served as the assistant head coach, running game coordinator and offensive line coach at Colorado for two seasons from 2007-08. Two of his CU lineman
from his first season, Tyler Polumbus and Edwin Harrison, were on NFL rosters.
An 18-year coaching veteran, Grimes went to Colorado from Brigham Young, where he coached the offensive line for three seasons from 2004-06. His 2006 BYU linemen were a large part of
the Cougars’ Mountain West Conference championship team, which finished 11-2.

(4th season)
In three seasons with the Auburn Tigers, assistant coach Curtis Luper has helped bring in two of the mostly highly regarded recruiting classes in the nation, register back-to-back seasons of
record-breaking offensive production and coached a pair of 1,000-yard rushers.
Auburn’s rushing attack led the Southeastern Conference and ranked fifth in the nation averaging 284.8 yards per game in 2010. The Tigers set a school record with 3,987 rushing yards and
set team records for most points (577) and most yards total offense (6,989) for the second consecutive season.
In 2010, Luper tutored running back Michael Dyer as he rushed for an Auburn freshman record 1,093 yards and earned second team Freshman All-America and Freshman All-SEC honors.
Dyer also earned offensive MVP honors of the BCS National Championship Game.
In recruiting, Luper helped bring in a 2011 class ranked in the top 10 nationally by ESPN (4th), Rivals.com (7th) and Scout.com (1st).
In 2009, the Auburn offense set numerous single-season school records, including points and most yards of offense in a season (5,613). Luper coached running back Ben Tate, who rushed for
1,362 yards and was a semifinalist for the Doak Walker Award.

defensive LINE (2nd SEASON)
Former Auburn All-SEC player Mike Pelton is in his second season as the Tigers’ defensive line coach and his fourth season on the staff of head coach Gene Chizik.
Pelton came to Auburn after spending the 2010 season as the defensive ends coach at Vanderbilt. In January, 2011, Pelton was named defensive line coach at Louisiana-Lafayette but accepted
an offer to return to his alma mater on March 2 of that year.
A native of Goshen, Ala., Pelton spent the 2008 and 2009 seasons at Iowa State working under Chizik. Pelton’s defensive lines were an area of strong improvement in his two seasons with the
Cyclones. Pelton mentored a pair of second-team All-Big 12 selections at Iowa State in nose guard Ahtyba Rubin and defensive end Kurtis Taylor. Rubin just finished his second year as a starter for
the Cleveland Browns after being selected in the sixth round of the 2008 NFL draft.
Prior to working under Chizik at Iowa State, Pelton spent six years under Larry Blakeney on the staff at Troy, including the final two years at co-defensive coordinator.
The Troy defense was consistently among the nation’s leaders in several categories. In 2002, the Trojans ranked fourth nationally, allowing just 277 total yards per game. In 2004, the Trojans
ranked 16th in total defense.
Pelton worked with two of the most prolific defensive linemen in Troy history, in Demarcus Ware and Osi
Umenyiora. A six-year veteran, Ware is a five-time Pro Bowler and three-time All-Pro linebacker with Dallas.
Umenyiora is a two-time Pro Bowl defensive end for the New York Giants.
Prior to going to Troy, Pelton coached the defensive line at Valdosta State (Ga.) University in 2000. The Blaz-
ers posted a 10-2 record and made the NCAA Division II playoffs.
As a player at Auburn, Pelton was a standout defensive tackle, earning first team All-SEC recognition in
1994. A four-year letterman from 1991-94, Pelton was a co-captain as a senior and helped the Tigers win a
school-record 20 consecutive games from 1993-94. Auburn posted an 11-0 record in 1993, finishing fourth in the
Associated Press poll. The Tigers went 9-1-1 the following season in 1994, finishing ninth in the AP top 25.
As a senior in 1994, Pelton recorded 10.0 sacks which tied for fourth-most in a single-season in Auburn his-
tory. Pelton finished his career with 294 tackles, 18 tackles for loss and 15 sacks.
Pelton was a fifth-round pick
of the Kansas City Chiefs in the

assistant head coach/wide receivers
(4TH SEASON)
Trooper Taylor is in his fourth season as assistant head coach and wide receivers coach at Auburn.
In 2010, Taylor’s receiver corps produced in all phases, making impact catches and providing hard-nosed blocking for the Tigers’ conference-best rushing attack. Taylor was also instrumental
in helping Auburn bring in one of the most highly regarded recruiting classes in the nation for 2011. The Tigers recruiting class was ranked fourth-best nationally by ESPN.com.
Auburn receivers connected on 45 plays of 20 yards or more, including five plays of 60 yards or more, as the Tigers set a school record for points (577) and led the Southeastern Conference
averaging 41.2 points per game.
The Tigers had three receivers total 500 yards or more last season and as a unit averaged 16.9 yards per catch, hauling in 2,461 of Auburn’s total 3,002 total passing yards. Sophomore
receiver Emory Blake and QB Cam Newton combined to register the longest pass play in Auburn history, a 94-yard scoring strike against ULM.
During his first season, he helped the Auburn offense emerge as one of the nation’s finest, while also solidifying his reputation as a top-notch recruiter.
The Auburn offense set numerous school records during his first season, including points in a season (433), most total yards of offense in a season (5,613) and most plays in a season (914).
Taylor coached Darvin Adams, who broke the Auburn single-season record for receptions with 60 for 997 yards and ranked second in the SEC with 10 touchdown catches. Adams, who entered
the season with just three career catches for 18 yards, was named the MVP of the Outback Bowl after hauling in career highs of 12 receptions for 142 yards.
In addition to his coaching duties on the field, Taylor was instrumental in Auburn signing a consensus top-five recruiting class in 2010. For his efforts, he was named by Rivals.com to its list
of the top 25 recruiters in the nation and one of the top 10 recruiters in the SEC for the signing class of 2010. It marked the third time he has been named to the top 25 list by Rivals.com, having
previously earned the recognition in 2005 and 2007.
In 2008 in his only season at Oklahoma State, Taylor helped the OSU offense produce two first-team All-Americans in wide receiver Dez Bryant and running back Kendall Hunter. A Biletnikoff
Award finalist and a first-team All-Big 12 selection and academic all-conference member, Bryant led the Big 12 in receiving and was third nationally.
In 2006 at Tennessee, Taylor coached Robert Meachem, a firstround NFL draft pick, to All-America honors.
He also directed the Vols running

linebackers (4TH SEASON)
Tommy Thigpen is in his fourth season as an assistant coach with the Auburn defense; after three seasons working with the Tiger safeties, he is coaching the linebackers for the 2012 campaign.
Despite losing a senior starter (Aairon Savage) midway through the 2010 season, Thigpen developed a unit that was instrumental in Auburn posting the Southeastern Conference’s best, and
ninth-best nationally, rushing defense.
The Tigers allowed just 109.1 yards rushing per game in 2010, with safety Zac Etheridge registering 69 tackles, second-most on the team. Etheridge earned All-SEC honorable mention honors.
As a group, Thigpen’s safeties combined for 186 tackles, 2.5 tackles-for-loss and three interceptions. In Auburn’s two biggest games that year, Thigpen directed a unit that helped hold South Caro-
lina to just 17 points in the SEC Championship Game and Oregon to 19 points in the BCS National Championship Game. The Tigers defense held the high-powered Ducks 28 points under their
season average and produced a pair of interceptions.
During his first season at Auburn, the Tigers ranked 17th in the nation in opponent third down conversion percentage (32.8) and forced 24 turnovers. His safeties helped the Auburn defense
rank 31st nationally in pass defense efficiency and pick off 17 passes - tied for third most in the SEC.
Thigpen instructed Daren Bates in 2009, who was named to the SEC All-Freshman team after starting all 13 games and ranking fourth on the team with 70 tackles as a true freshman.
Thigpen has also earned a reputation as an exceptional recruiter, and was named one of the nation’s top 25 recruiters in 2007 by Rivals.com.
Prior to coming to Auburn, Thigpen coached the linebackers at North Carolina for four seasons from 2005-08. A former All-ACC linebacker at North Carolina himself, Thigpen tutored UNC’s
leading tacklers in each of his four seasons at Chapel Hill.
Thigpen coached for two years at Illinois, serving as the cornerbacks coach in 2003 and the linebackers coach in 2004.
He began his coaching career as a UNC graduate assistant in 1998-99. He then coached linebackers at Tennessee State in 2000. In 2001-02, he coached cornerbacks and was the special team’s
coordinator at Bowling Green State.
At Bowling Green State, Thigpen helped coach one of the Mid-American Conference’s top defenses, leading
the MAC in turnover margin in 2002.

brian
vangorder
defensive coordinator (1st SEASON)
Brian VanGorder, who served as the defensive coordinator for the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons the past four seasons, is in his first year at Auburn.
Familiar to the Southeastern Conference, VanGorder was the defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at Georgia from 2001-04, where he was named the 2003 Broyles Award winner as the nation’s top assistant
coach. During his tenure in Athens, Georgia won one SEC title, two SEC East Division championships, captured three Bowl games and ended up with three straight top 10 finishes in the final national polls.
During VanGorder’s stint with the Falcons, the organization achieved unprecedented heights, posting four consecutive winning seasons, a franchise first, including playoff appearances in 2008, 2010 and 2011. His
defenses consistently showed marked improvements along the way.
Helping the Falcons to a 10-6 regular season record in 2011, VanGorder’s defense finished the regular season second in the NFL in red zone defense, sixth in rushing defense (97.0 ypg), and 12th in total defense
(333.6 ypg).
In 2010, the Falcons defense finished 10th in the NFL in rushing defense allowing 105.9 yards per game, which ranked fifth in the NFC. The run defense was not the only part of the defense that showed improvement
in 2010. VanGorder’s defense ranked in the top five in the NFL in scoring defense (18.0, 5th), turnover differential (+14, 3rd) and interceptions (22, 4th), marking highs for VanGorder’s defense during his tenure.
With the leadership of VanGorder, cornerback Brent Grimes earned his first career Pro Bowl selection in 2010 after posting a single-season franchise-high 23 passes defensed, and tying for the team lead in intercep-
tions (five), while adding 82 tackles. His 23 pass breakups ranked second in the NFL in 2010.
John Abraham earned his fourth career Pro Bowl selection in 2010 as he led all defensive ends in sacks (13.0), and added 43 tackles, four passes defensed, two forced fumbles and one interception. He also garnered
his third selection to the All-Pro team under the guidance of VanGorder.
In 2009, Atlanta’s rush defense finished tied for 10th best in the NFL (sixth in the NFC), allowing an average of only 106.8 yards per game. The ranking was 15 spots better than the previous 2008 campaign.
Under VanGorder’s leadership, the Falcons’ 2009 rush defense only allowed one 100-yard rusher all season and posted a streak of 10 consecutive quarters without a touchdown allowed from the second quarter of
Week 15 to the fourth quarter of Week 17.
In 2008, VanGorder started the retooling process of transforming the Falcons’ defense into a unit that plays with intensity, passion, aggression and toughness. His troops responded by making steady improvements
along the way and proved downright stingy when it came to surrendering points. The Falcons, under VanGorder’s guidance, finished
11th in the NFL in points allowed at just an average of 20.3 per contest.
With VanGorder’s direction, linebacker Curtis Lofton played a pivotal role in developing the defense. He earned a starting spot in BRIAN VANGORDER CAREER
the middle of the defense as a rookie, garnering NFL All-Rookie accolades by Sporting News and Pro Football Weekly, and finished
second in the entire league among all rookies (according to Stats, Inc.) with 108 stops. 1989-91 Grand Valley State
Prior to his arrival with the Falcons, VanGorder was the head coach at Georgia Southern in 2006. VanGorder spent the 2005 Defensive Coordinator/Linebackers

I believe that this is a practical world and that I can count only on what I earn.
Therefore, I believe in work, hard work.
I believe in education, which gives me the knowledge to work wisely and trains my
mind and my hands to work skillfully.
I believe in honesty and truthfulness, without which I cannot win the respect and
confidence of my fellow men.
I believe in a sound mind, in a sound body and a spirit that is not afraid, and in
clean sports to develop these qualities.
I believe in obedience to law because it protects the rights of all.
I believe in the human touch, which cultivates sympathy with my fellow men and

walking humbly with my God.”

T I G E R WALK
Tiger walk:
an auburn tradition
Tiger Walk is an Auburn tradition which began in the early 1960s when
Auburn players would walk from Sewell Hall to the football stadium and fans
would line Donahue Drive to wish them well. Over the years Tiger Walk has
grown into a major part of game day at Auburn, so much so that it is listed
on the players’ game weekend itinerary. The largest Tiger Walk is believed
to have taken place prior to the 1989 Iron Bowl when more than 20,000
well wishers lined the street. Every Tiger Walk prior to home games draws
thousands, and, over the last couple of years the Tiger Walk has become a
standard as Auburn football players enter stadiums on the road. Tiger Walk is
two hours before kickoff for every game.
rolling TOOMER'S
corner
The center of town where the Auburn University campus meets
the City of Auburn, Toomer’s Corner, where College Street
intersects Magnolia Avenue, has long been the gathering place
for Auburn athletic celebrations. After any football win, and
significant victories in other sports, Auburn students and citizens
alike join forces to “roll” the trees (and anything else that
doesn’t move) at Toomer’s Corner with toilet tissue. Celebra-
tions after significant football victories can go on for hours and
leave the heart of town looking like a blizzard passed through.

located between the lower level and upper deck on the East side. The stadium
was dedicated Nov. 30, 1939, with 7,500 seats. Ten years later 14,000 more
seats were added and the stadium was named Cliff Hare Stadium (named
after a member of Auburn’s first football team and eventual professor and
dean of the School of Chemistry), although only 12 home games were played
there over that 10-year span. Additional seats were added in 1955, 1960 and
1970. The West upper deck was completed in 1980; the East upper deck and
suites were finished for the 1987 season. The facility was renamed Jordan-
Hare Stadium in 1973, recognizing Hall of Fame coach Ralph “Shug” Jordan.

pro day
Auburn’s NFL prospects spend one day each spring showcasing their talents
in front of more than 100 members of the media and NFL representatives,
including scouts, coaches and general managers who converge on The Plains
for Pro Day.
Pro Day gives NFL scouts and executives an opportunity to view potential Au-
burn pro prospects first hand through a series of drills, including the 40-yard
dash, bench press, vertical jump and the three-cone drill, the same regimen
followed at the NFL Combine.
The event was held at Jordan-Hare Stadium in 2011 and was moved into the
new Indoor Practice Facility in 2012, providing an ideal setting for the Tigers
to showcase their talents.
In 2011, Auburn’s Pro Day was shown live on the NFL Network and ESPN3.
Members of the local, regional and national media are also regular fixtures
at Auburn’s annual Pro Day.

AUBURN UNIVERSITY
Auburn’s beautiful main campus--graced by greenery and open spaces and highlighted by historic Sam-
ford Park--is made up of 375 buildings spread across 1,875 acres. Buildings in the main campus area
are within walking distance of each other. Residence halls are only a short walk from classrooms, dining
and athletic facilities. Auburn is located in the southeastern United States in east-central Alabama
about 30 miles from the Georgia border.
U.S. News & World Report has ranked Auburn among the top 50 public universities nationwide for 19
consecutive years. Auburn is ranked a “Best Value” by the Princeton Review.
AU invests in extensive national assessments to obtain quality, data-driven information for measuring
and continually improving instruction and student preparation.
More than 92 percent of our students and more than 95 percent of our alumni say that if they could
start college over again, they would choose Auburn.
A 2005 Harvard survey ranked AU as one of the top six colleges and universities in the country as a
place for young faculty to work, which has a lot to do with actively engaging students.
AU is the only university in the country to offer an undergraduate degree in wireless engineering, and
the first in the Southeast to offer degrees in software engineering.
AU Libraries maintains the largest library in the state, with more than 3.2 million volumes in its collec-
tion. It subscribes to more than 9,000 journals and 250 electronic databases; provides library instruction
and tours to students, prospective students and parents; and serves as an instructional resource for
faculty.
No. 4
Auburn is ranked fourth in the
nation by the Princeton Review
on its list of “10 Colleges with
the Best Quality of Life.”
Auburn People
Auburn faculty and alumni are world-class achievers in practically every arena. Here are just a few
examples:
AU has graduated more than 232,658 students since it began in 1856. Currently, we have 210,472
living alumni around the world.
There are 98 Auburn clubs around the country whose primary goal is to raise scholarships for incoming
freshmen. The Auburn Alumni Association and Auburn Club Program awarded a total of 188 scholar-
ships for the 2011 - 2012 school year. Two clubs have endowments of more than $100,000 and the
Alumni Association Endowment stands at more than $2.7 million.
The Student Alumni Association, with membership of over 3,400 students, offers three student scholar-
ships for its rising senior members.
The Auburn Alumni Association has more than 46,000 members and contributes more than $95,000
each year toward professorships and other faculty awards.
More than 12,000 people a year visit the Alumni hospitality tent before home football games.
