The 2002 Auburn Tigers football team, led by head coach Tommy Tuberville, finished with record of 9-4, including a 5-3 record in the Southeastern Conference. Following a disappointing 7-5 finish the previous season, the coaching staff of the 2002 Tigers team featured two prominent new members. Bobby Petrino was hired as the new offensive coordinator, and Gene Chizik joined the staff as the Tigers' new defensive coordinator. Petrino left following the season to assume the head coaching responsibilities at Louisville, while Chizik remained at Auburn through the 2004 season before leaving for a similar position with the University of Texas.
