South Carolina Gamecocks assistant coaches Mike Bobo, Will Friend join Auburn Tigers, sources say

South Carolina offensive coordinator Mike Bobo and offensive line coach Will Friend have agreed to accept the same positions at Auburn, sources told ESPN on Thursday.

On Monday, the South Carolina Board of Trustees approved contracts for Bobo and Friend, who were hired to be a part of new Gamecocks coach Shane Beamer's staff. Bobo was set to receive a two-year deal that would have paid him $1.2 million per season; Friend, who coached at Tennessee last year, would have received a two-year contract that paid $700,000 annually. It is unclear whether they signed the contracts.

Bobo and Friend are joining new Auburn coach Bryan Harsin's staff.
