Auburn Tigers New Head Coach Faces Uphill Battle: Finding the Right Quarterback
Auburn Tigers new head coach, Alex Golesh, is stepping into a challenging situation, with the teams persistent quarterback issues looming large. Despite recruiting top talent, the Tigers have struggled to find consistent success, largely due to an inability to secure a top-tier quarterback. Goleshs success hinges on his ability to break this cycle and find the right signal-caller, as the team has only finished in the top half of the conference in passing once since 2017. With a strong track record of developing elite quarterback play, Golesh is poised to elevate the Tigers performance, but the path to success is far from certain.
