incoming Tigers coach Richard Quick who won 12 combined national titles as the Women's head coach for Texas and Stanford. In 2008 the Auburn women finished second to Arizona Wildcats while the men finished in fifth place. In 2009 the Tigers reclaimed the Men's national title by edging out second place Texas by 39 points. The 2009 title was the eighth for the men and the 13th overall for Auburn. It also marked Richard Quick's 13th title after winning twelve at Stanford and Texas. He moved ahead of former Auburn coach David Marsh for the most titles for a coach in his career and became the first coach to win national titles at three schools. During the 2008-2009 season Brett Hawke, a former Auburn swimmer himself, took over the day-to-day running of the men's program after Richard Quick was diagnosed with a brain tumor. After the season Auburn Athletics Director Jay Jacobs announced that Hawke would be promoted to co-head coach and would work with both the Men's and Women's programs while consulting with Quick. Under the leadership of Hawke, the men's team captured the 2010, 2011, and 2012 SEC championships, but failed to win another national title after 2009. In March 2018, following the NCAA men's and women's championships, Hawke informed the team he would be resigning from his position. The athletics department, under the new leadership of athletic director Allen Greene, immediately began searching for Hawke's successor. On April 28, 2018 NC State Wolfpack assistant swimming coach Gary Taylor was named the new head coach. Taylor immediately faced a challenging situation as two of the program's top swimmers, Zach Apple and Hugo Gonzalez, announced their intent to transfer following Taylor's arrival. On April 19, 2021, Auburn athletics director Allen Greene announced that Auburn and coach Gary Taylor had mutually agreed to part ways, and a national search for his successor would begin immediately. At the 2021 NCAA Championships, both the men's and women's programs failed to score any points. On April 23, 2021 former Auburn swimmer Ryan Wochomurka was announced as the new head coach of the program. Wochomurka formerly served as the head coach of the Houston Cougars women's swimming and diving program. Wochomurka swam at Auburn from 2002–2005 where he was a 21-time All-American.
