To coach safeties. It's not like he's the DC.

Maybe Golesh thought he was a good coach when they worked together at Tennessee?

Just because it didn't work at UT doesn't mean it will not at AU. He's been to many wars in the SEC already.

Safety play by our defense was by far the worst position group.

Also not a very good recruiter.

Wasn't he a Broyles finalist just a couple of years ago?

Has a long history of coaching safeties pretty well. Kind of a weird take over a guy you had as DC for 5 years.

Auburn hiring a well-tenured DC from big programs who was getting HC chatter a year ago as a lowly position coach seems like a no-brainer.

Then you shouldn’t miss him. You’re acting like a teenager whose boyfriend moved on too fast after she broke up with him.

Maybe an investigation turned up a history of burner phones and prostitutes?

Secretly recorded recruiting conversations sent to the NCAA?

Illegal barbeques?

Could be anything that caught their eye, really.
