The 1930 Auburn Tigers football team represented Auburn University in the 1930 college football season. Chet A. Wynne led the team to a 3–7 record in his first year as head coach. He was assisted by Roger Kiley, Earl McFaden, and Weems Baskin and changed the style of play to the Notre Dame system.[1] While the new coach and new system didn't result in much of an improvement from previous years, the Tigers did win their first conference game in four years when they defeated South Carolina in the final game.
