I don't think he is hurt, his TD run he was not shying away from contact.

To me, it looked like a guy that was determined to prove to everyone dogging his throwing motion in the offseason that he could be a pocket passer, which is just dumb. I think all of that noise got in his head, looked similar in A-Day. Hopefully Golesh has gotten it across to him this week to just play his game.

That article is 100% truth though. Of those coaches mentioned, Golesh will face Siverfield and Sumrall this year. Golesh is 0-3 against Silverfield and 0-1 against Sumrall with Sumrall beating him 45-10.

If for some reason Golesh only wins 5 or 6 games this season and Sumrall has a good year at Florida, I wonder if that would get John Cohen fired?

It will be interesting to see which hire does best over the next few years, Golesh or Sumrall. Both Auburn and Florida are in very similar situations. In the playoff era (2014 - present) neither school has been to the playoffs. Neither school has won an SEC Title. Florida is 0-3 in the SECCG during the playoff era and Auburn is 0-1. Florida has had 5 head coaches in the playoff era, Auburn has had 4. In the 12 full seasons of the playoff era, Florida has 3 seasons with 10+ wins and Auburn has 1. Both schools have had 7 winning seasons and 5 losing seasons in the playoff era.

It will be fun to watch this play out. Hopefully, we made the right hire with Golesh.

It appears to me the honeymoon for our coaches are very short lived lol.


Only difference between me and the rest was I was worried about his offense before a single snap was executed.

However I do believe the Auburn fans are picking up on a very familiar theme: We like to hire head coaches that run less diverse and flexible offenses if they can prove proof of concept is valid while having endearing personalities that will work hard for Auburn.

So why are more coaches living on a football payday not trying to run this offense. Heupel is hardly the point that it can work. Golesh was peak Heupel.

Golesh/Heupel:

“We’re going to run a relatively small number of concepts extremely fast and force you to defend the entire width of the field.”

Kiffin:

“We’re going to manipulate you with formations, personnel, motion, shifts and matchup-specific play calling.”
