Auburn banking on Golesh to end drought

Auburn has hired Alex Golesh as its new head coach, bringing in the third coach since 2020 to end a five-season losing streak.

The Tigers have endured their longest stretch of futility since the 1940s, with five consecutive losing seasons under Bryan Harsin and Hugh Freeze. Golesh, previously at South Florida, brings a new approach and has already brought in key transfers including quarterback Byrum Brown. noplasticplease.life

Analysts suggest this hire may fare better than predecessors as Golesh represents a younger, more energetic option who could maximize Auburn's recruiting talent. Bowl expectations for Year 1 are considered reasonable as Auburn hopes to turn around its program.
