Auburn Football: Hope for Golesh Era

After enduring five consecutive losing seasons for the first time since 1946-50, Auburn football looks to new coach Alex Golesh to reverse the program's fortunes.

Auburn has hired its third coach since firing Gus Malzahn, bringing in Alex Golesh from South Florida to try and end the program's longest stretch of futility in over 70 years. The Tigers have not had a winning season under either Bryan Harsin or Hugh Freeze. sos-zagle.org.pl

Experts express cautious optimism about the hire, with one analyst stating they would 'buy stock' in Auburn football under Golesh. The new coach has brought in several South Florida transfers familiar with his system, including quarterback Byrum Brown, who is seen as pivotal to the rebuild. While bowl expectations for Year 1 are considered reasonable, the pressure is on Golesh to deliver better results than his two immediate predecessors.
