Auburn Unleashed

Our newest episode of AU features former Alabama and Auburn coach Bill "Brother" Oliver. "Brother" played as a defensive back under Bear Bryant from 1959 to 1961. After coaching high school ball, he joined Coach Ralph Jordan at Auburn in 1966 as a secondary coach. In 1970 he returned to Alabama in the same position until he took the head coach position at the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga in 1980. Following a stint with the United States Football League and at Clemson, Brother Oliver returned again to the University of Alabama in 1990 as a secondary coach, eventually becoming the Tide's defensive coordinator. In 1996 he became Terry Bowden's defensive coordinator at Auburn and served for five games at Auburn's interim head football coach following Bowden departure.
