The Auburn soccer program and head coach Karen Hoppa announced Nick Flohre as the Tigers new assistant coach on Mar. 8, 2019.

Flohre came to The Plains after spending the previous three seasons as the head coach at Eastern Kentucky University, where he posted a career record of 32-18-9. The 32 wins mark the most during a three-year span in program history. 

In 2023, Flohre was tasked to lead the midfield core. During the season, Tiger midfielders accounted for 29 offensive points, led by senior captain Anna Haddock with 15. Haddock was named Second Team All-SEC as well as the SEC Scholar-Athlete of the Year. Four of Flohre's midfielders recorded their first goal or assist in the Auburn uniform over the course of the 2023 slate. The defensive mids also played major roles in the Tigers' seven clean sheets, which included four in league play. 

The 2022 season saw the Auburn offensive shine in spurts, including a massive 9-0 victory over Southern Miss on August 21. Eight different Tigers found the back of the net in the match, tying the second-most goals scored in a single game in program history and the most in 14 seasons since the Orange & Blue routed Grambling State 9-0 on August 22, 2008.

Auburn had increased its totals in goals, assists and points in each of Flohre's first three seasons and tallied 118 points on 37 goals and 44 assists during the 2021 campaign. The Auburn offense played a key role in leading the Tigers to a 12-7-1 overall record as well as the first SEC Tournament semifinal appearance since 2016 and 17th NCAA Tournament appearance in program history. 

In 2021, two of Flohre's key attacking players in Anna Haddock and Marissa Arias earned both United Soccer Coaches All-Southeast Region and All-SEC honors. The duo combined for 43 points on 16 goals and 11 assists, with Haddock's nine goals and 26 points registering as the highest totals since 2016. Haddock was not only the league lone underclassman to earn First Team All-SEC honors but also became the first underclassman in Auburn history to be named CoSIDA Academic All-America. 

Along with Haddock and Arias, Sydney Richards and Olivia Candelino registered 15 and 12 points, respectively, marking the first time four Tigers turned in 10+ points in a season under Flohre. 

During Auburn's unique 2020-21 split season, Flohre and the offense accounted for 84 points on 27 goals and 30 assists. Team Tigers scored multiple goals in six of the final 10 contests and put 21 shots into the back of the net during the final stretch. Under Flohre's guidance, a pair of freshmen midfielders in Anna Haddock and Mallory Mooney led the team with 14 points apiece, while Haddock led all freshmen and Power 5 players nationally with 10 assists. Haddock earned SEC All-Freshman Team honors and was named United Soccer Coaches First Team All-Southeast Region. 

In his first season with the program in 2019, Flohre led the Tigers' attack to registering 76 points on 26 goals and 24 assists. Under Flohre's tutelage, pair of Auburn's key attacking players in Bri Folds and Sydney Richards went on to earn All-SEC recognition, while Folds was named United Soccer Coaches Third Team All-Southeast Region and went on to be selected by the N.C. Courage in the 2020 NWSL Draft. 

Prior to arriving at Auburn, Flohre orchestrated one of the most dramatic turnarounds in the NCAA in his first year at EKU. He was named the 2016 Ohio Valley Conference Coach of the Year after leading the Colonels to a 13-4-0 overall record, 8-2 mark in conference play and a share of the first OVC regular season title in program history. The 13 wins not only set a program record, but were also nine more wins than the previous season.

Flohre led the Colonels to a .500 or better overall and conference record in each of his three seasons in charge. He took the team to three straight OVC semifinals, including a pair of championship games in 2016 and 2017, and coached a total of 12 OVC All-Conference performers.

The EKU soccer program was also successful in the classroom during Flohre’s tenure. The team posted a 3.75 GPA during the 2017-18 academic year, which ranked third highest among Division I soccer teams in the country. He mentored the program’s first CoSIDA Academic All-District First Team performer in 2018.

Prior to becoming the head coach at EKU, Flohre served as an assistant coach at Ohio State from 2014-15 and Iowa during the 2012-13 seasons. He helped lead both programs to the NCAA Tournament.

The Buckeyes advanced to the Sweet 16 in 2015 and finished the season with a 13-7-3 record. Flohre helped a pair of Buckeyes earn All-Big Ten honors in 2015 and guided another to all-conference accolades the previous season.

In two year at Iowa, Flohre helped guide the Hawkeyes to a 27-13-4 overall record, including a school record 15 victories in 2013. Iowa reached the Big Ten Championship game and advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in program history in 2013.

Prior to breaking into collegiate soccer, Flohre served as the Girl’s Assistant Director of Coaching at Ohio Elite Soccer Academy of the Elite Clubs National League (ENCL) from 2007-12. During his tenure, Flohre coached various U15-U18 ENCL teams, including the 2009 U.S. Youth Soccer Association U19 National Championship finalist and the 2010 National Championship third-place team. He coached seven players who went on to play for the U.S. National Team.

Flohre played collegiate soccer at the University of Indianapolis and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in psychology in 2003. He is a native of Dayton, Ohio, and he and his wife, Danielle, are the proud parents of Parker Corrigan Flohre.
