1998 Auburn Tigers football team

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 1998 Auburn Tigers football season ended in a 3-8 record. The Tigers began the season coached by Terry Bowden, who began the season with a 1-5 start. Criticism of the coaching arose among fans and key supporters, which resulted in Bowden's resignation as coach on October 23, the day before the Tigers played Louisiana Tech. Defensive Coordinator Bill Oliver became the interim head coach for the last 5 games of the season and had a 2-3 record as head coach.

This season also marked the last time Auburn played Alabama at Legion Field in Birmingham, Alabama, as the University of Alabama would move their Iron Bowl games to Tuscaloosa.
