Tommy Tuberville served his tenth and final season as head coach at Auburn. He was joined by a new defensive coordinator Paul Rhoads and new offensive coordinator Tony Franklin, who attempted to implement Tuberville’s new offense without the proper players suited for the spread offense in a failed effort to correct the Tigers' offensive struggles in 2007. Tuberville fired Franklin six games into the season. Auburn played a seven-game home schedule at Jordan–Hare Stadium, while traveling to Mountaineer Field in Morgantown, West Virginia for the Tigers' first ever meeting with the West Virginia Mountaineers.2007 Auburn Football Media Guide – History Auburn Athletic Department http://auburntigers.cstv.com/auto_pdf/p_hotos/s_chools/aub/sports/m-footbl/auto_pdf/07-mg-history December 14, 2007 https://web.archive.org/web/20071128145005/http://auburntigers.cstv.com/auto_pdf/p_hotos/s_chools/aub/sports/m-footbl/auto_pdf/07-mg-history November 28, 2007 dead mdy-all The Tennessee Volunteers returned to the Tigers' schedule for the first time since Auburn defeated Tennessee twice in AU's undefeated 2004 season.
