The Auburn Tigers reportedly hired Alex Golesh as their next head football coach on Sunday, and there are answers and questions in the immediate aftermath of the USF Bulls headman's seemingly imminent arrival in East Central Alabama. USF went 9-3 in 2025 but missed the American Conference Championship Game.
Auburn Undercover's Nathan King revealed that defensive coordinator/interim head coach DJ Durkin's status on Golesh's staff is unclear, writing that "There is not yet word on whether Golesh intends to keep DJ Durkin in place as Auburn's defensive coordinator." Clarity on that could come soon.
