Auburn Tigers begin new chapter under head coach Alex Golesh

The Auburn Tigers will kick off the Golesh era as they prepare for the upcoming season. Head coach Alex Golesh, who previously led South Florida to a 9-3 record, takes the reins after a disappointing 2025 season in which Auburn finished 5-7. Golesh introduces quarterback Byrum Brown, a standout athlete from South Florida who may revitalize the team's offense, struggling since the departure of Bo Nix. This shift follows multiple seasons of instability with previous head coaches, and fans are eager for a turnaround. Auburn leads the all-time series against rival Georgia but fell 20-10 in last year's matchup.
