Notes

  1. ^ a b D. M. Balliet coached and won one game in February 1893.
  2. ^ a b c M. S. Harvey coached the last two games of the season and went 0–2.
  3. ^ a b c Boozer Pitts coached the last seven games of the season, going 0–4–2.
  4. ^ a b c Johnny Floyd coached the last four games of the season, going 0–4.
  5. ^ a b c Due to NCAA probation, Auburn was banned from TV and post-season play, and suffered reduced scholarships. The post-season ban prevented Auburn from playing the SEC Championship and a bowl game.
  6. ^ a b Auburn returned to television this season, but was still serving a postseason ban that made them ineligible for a bowl game.
  7. ^ a b c Bowden resigned after six games. Bill Oliver was appointed interim head coach and led Auburn for the remaining five games of the season, going 2–3.
  8. ^ In 2002, Alabama finished first in Western Division of the Southeastern Conference (SEC) with a conference record of 6–2, but was ineligible for the division title or postseason play as part of a penalty for National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) violations. Auburn, Arkansas, and LSU tied for second place, each with a 5–3 mark in the conference, and were named co-champions. Arkansas was awarded a berth in the SEC Championship Game by virtue of their head-to-head wins over Auburn and LSU.
  9. ^ a b On December 13, 2020, head coach Gus Malzahn was fired after eight years. Kevin Steele, defensive coordinator, was designated to serve as the Tigers' interim coach for the Citrus Bowl.
  10. ^ a b c The Tigers were led by second-year head coach Bryan Harsin until his firing on October 31. Later that day, former Auburn running backs coach Cadillac Williams was appointed interim head coach for the remainder of the season.
