Source: Auburn adding Philip Montgomery, Ron Roberts to staff

New Auburn coach Hugh Freeze has found his play-callers, as the school is set to hire Philip Montgomery as offensive coordinator and Ron Roberts as defensive coordinator, sources confirmed to ESPN.

Montgomery served as Tulsa's head coach for the past eight seasons before being fired Nov. 27. He previously served as offensive coordinator at Baylor and Houston. A deal with Montgomery isn't done but should be finalized soon, a source told ESPN.

Freeze has called offensive plays at his previous head coaching stops, including Ole Miss, but will turn over the duties to Montgomery in 2023.
