Auburn’s interest in Freeman never seemed more than passing and that’s confirmed with Derek Mason being their hire for DC. Does remove a possible candidate if Freeman decides to leave.

I am very pleased with the hire of Derek Mason as defensive coordinator. He is an excellent coordinator, a very good recruiter, and has a lot of SEC experience. Remember Barry Odom to Arkansas last year? That worked out well and this will also.

Derek Mason is an excellent hire for Auburn. Great coach and an incredible human being.

Derek Mason was DC for Stanford for 41 games. He gave up 30+ points only 4 times. 3 of those games went into OT. (Via @lundbergn27)

#Auburn news from @Mark_Schlabach and me: Mike Bobo and Will Friend will be the next AU offensive coordinator and O-line coach, per sources. Also, Bryan Harsin targeting ex-#Vanderbilt coach Derek Mason as defensive coordinator. Deal could be done soon. https://t.co/37pPTgb1qb

I’ve suspected Derek Mason all along. Very nice.

I am not impressed with AU’s hires today. Bobo was TERRIBLE for the Gamecocks last year and Will Friend is an even worse OL coach. Derek Mason is the only one with with potential considering he’s a respected coach who had a bunch of suitors before he ultimately signed w/ AU.

Some coaching news has finally leaked and it sounds like official announcements regarding Auburn staffing hires could come soon https://t.co/iyPxGvHtB8

Derek Mason used to be turnt on the field coachin a depressing Vandy team. Imagine how he gon be with some real athletes on the defensive side of the ball! I’d definitely play for him

Ranking the Auburn hires so far: Spencer Danielson- B Derek Mason- A+ Mike Bobo- B- Will Friend- A- Bryan Mclendon (if it happens)- A+ @thejboyshow @DaveWNSP

@MaizenBrew Do research!! Derek Mason wanted to stay in the south, so Michigan was never going to land him. Stop blaming everything on Harabaugh, it's annoying as hell.

@JoeSweat21 🐄 college hired Mike Bobo & Derek Mason?! WOW! Recruiting is about to get really tough on both sides of the ball!

@AuburnEinstein I like the hires. Derek Mason has been a top shelf candidate this entire process and I think a home run hire as well. Bobo is mildly predictable, but I think the talent will be there to achieve his offense. The recruiting all around will improve as well.
