Alex Golesh Offensive Philosophy

Alex Golesh arrives as Auburn’s 33rd head coach, bringing with him an offensive scheme that was number two in total offense in 2025. After transforming South Florida in just three seasons, he brings an offensive identity built on tempo and a bit of swagger that's hopeful to bring a breath of fresh air to the Auburn Tigers.

College Football Organizational Structure is Broken

We're only through week 8 of the college football season, and the coaching carousel is already in full tilt. Two SEC coaches have been let go, and I can't help but wonder when an organization will try to do things differently.

Auburn vs Oklahoma: 2025 Preview

Auburn and Oklahoma meet Saturday in a game that feels like a tone-setter for both programs. Hugh Freeze has talked all week about the challenge Brent Venables’ defense presents, and Auburn’s defense has its own test trying to contain quarterback John Mateer in Ben Arbuckle’s scheme. Here’s where this one will be decided.

Alabama Offense vs FSU: Quick Hits

Ty Simpson wasn’t amazing, but Alabama’s play-calling didn’t do him many favors. A pass-heavy script in bad weather and a first-time starter is a bold strategy from Kalen DeBoer and Ryan Grubb.

The Most Talented WR Room in Auburn History?

Okay yeah, it's July and we haven't even seen these guys all play together. I get it. But when I look at the talent of this group, I really believe this is the most talented group of receivers Auburn has ever had.

Why are College Football teams still working out of Google Sheets?

It was a problem when I worked in college football 6 years ago, and it's still a problem now. College Football personnel departments are building massive Google Sheets to track their recruiting and roster management, and I don't quite understand why.

2016 Auburn Signing Class Review

In the middle to end years of Gus Malzahn's tenure, Auburn's recruiting efforts significantly declined, laying the foundation for the challenges faced by Bryan Harsin and now Hugh Freeze. Despite appearances from recruiting rankings, the reality on the field was starkly different.

2024 Week 2 Highlight Performance

We finally got to see Quinn Ewers play high level football against a quality opponent not named Alabama. Ewers showed incredible command for all 4 quarters, and he never let off the throttle.

2024 Week 1 Highlight Performance

As an Auburn guy, watching Diego Pavia crush our spirits last year in week 12 was brutal (and embarrassing), but he's a BALLER, and he's turned me into a fan. The 2023 Conference USA POY led the Commodores to a huge week 1 win against a potential ACC Championship contender in Virginia Tech, and he showed total command and composition from start to finish.

2023 SEC Championship Highlight Performance

Jalen Milroe did exactly what Alabama needed him to do to keep them in the football game: don't turn the ball over, and move the chains with your legs when you can.
