In the SEC, a Distinguished Coaching Career
Before returning to Texas A&M, Price spent ten seasons at Auburn (1999-2008) and two stints at Ole Miss (1995-98 and 2009-11). He was a well-known defensive line coach in the Southeastern Conference.
He served as Jimbo Fisher’s assistant before Kevin Sumlin took over. The Aggies’ defensive line greatly benefited from Price’s coaching experience, which allowed them to top the SEC in defense in 2020 and finish fourth overall.
Rivals.com and 247Sports.com named Price the No. 12 overall recruiter in the country in 2014, recognizing him as a standout recruiter. He successfully recruited five-star defensive linemen Myles Garrett (2014), DeMarvin Leal (2019), Daylon Mack (2015), and Justin Madubuike (2016), making a huge contribution to the team’s success.
His influence on the Aggies was apparent. He is notable for working with Quentin Groves, who owns the record for most sacks in Auburn history.

He won two conference championships and led the Aggie defensive line in tackles both as a junior and a senior. He spent two seasons in the NFL with the Chicago Bears and Miami Dolphins before returning to Aggieland in 1992 to finish his undergraduate work.
