Former Auburn defensive coordinator Will Muschamp has agreed to become Auburn's defensive coordinator again.
The news was first broken by Phillip Marshall of 247 Sports.
Muschamp was being courted for the defensive coordinator position by several other schools, and reportedly interviewed this morning for the head coaching vacancy at Houston.
This will be Muschamp's third coaching job on the Plains. He served as a graduate assistant in the late 90s.
Other gigs for Muschamp have included, most recently, head coach at Florida, defensive coordinator at Texas as well as working under Alabama head coach Nick Saban while Saban was at LSU.
A press conference is expected at some point before the end of the weekend, according to Thayer Evans of Sports Illustrated.
"I'm excited to welcome Will back to Auburn as our new defensive coordinator," Malzahn said. "Will is one of the top defensive minds in college football who has great passion and energy for the game. He is a tremendous addition to our staff."
"My family, Carol, Jackson, Whit, and I are excited about coming back to Auburn and I look forward to working with Coach Malzahn to win championships," Muschamp said.
