Auburn’s 2025 season ended on a disappointing note yesterday with a 20-27 loss, as the Tigers again failed to qualify for a bowl game. However, good news is in store for the future. AD John Cohen has found his new head coach in USF’s Alex Golesh. The move comes with a bit of financial implications for Auburn. Golesh’s contract with USF had a clause about his departure. If he were to leave before December 31, 2025, he would owe the Bulls $1.5 million to buy out his contract. That doesn’t seem to be that big of an amount to get the services of a guy who can lead Auburn back to the top of the SEC. In his first remarks after taking the position, Golesh thanked the Auburn community. “Auburn Football is one of the proudest, most tradition-rich programs in all of college football, and my family and I could not be more excited to join the Auburn Family. This will be a player-driven program, and no one will outwork our staff.” 

Alex Golesh owes a million-dollar amount to the South Florida Bulls after his latest activity left the fans stunned.

With a background in media and journalism—including a formative nine-month internship in sports reporting—she brings a sharp eye to the ever-evolving world of college football. As a key member of the ES CFB Recruiting Desk, she closely follows the journeys of top prospects like Arch Manning and compelling dual-sport athletes such as Jackson Cantwell. Yet what truly captivates her are the stories of under-the-radar players—the zero- or two-star recruits who defy expectations to become NFL stars. Her favorite example? Patrick Mahomes, the former three-star recruit whose rise from Texas Tech to league MVP perfectly reflects the kind of narrative she loves to tell.
