Auburn has made its third coaching hire since firing Gus Malzahn, plugging Golesh from South Florida. The Tigers have endured five straight losing seasons for the first time since 1946-50, with previous coaches Bryan Harsin and Hugh Freeze unable to produce a single winning season.
Montgomery Advertiser's Adam Cole expressed optimism, saying he'd "buy stock" in Auburn football under Golesh, citing his work ethic and ability to develop talent. Quarterback Byrum Brown, a key transfer from USF, is seen as a pivotal piece of the rebuild. While bowl expectations are reasonable for Year 1, the hope is that Golesh can finally spark an Auburn upswing after years of decline. truewildslot.com
