Doug Barfield
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Doug Barfield (1935- ) was the head football coach of Auburn University from 1976 to 1980. He compiled an on-field record of 27-27-1 during his five year tenure; Auburn was subsequently awarded two victories due to forfeits by Mississippi State University in 1976 and 1977, thus improving his record to 29-25-1.
A native of Grove Hill, Alabama, Barfield played his collegiate football at Southern Mississippi. Prior to becoming the head football coach at Auburn, he served as an assistant for several college football teams, including a stint as the offensive coordinator at Auburn from 1973-1974. After his dismissal as head coach at Auburn after the 1980 season, he served as the head coach at several high schools in Alabama.
