The Auburn Express is back, powered by The War Rapport, and we’re breaking down the biggest news on the Plains: Alex Golesh officially takes the reins as Auburn’s next head coach. In this episode, the crew dives deep into what this hire means for Auburn’s offensive identity, recruiting strategy, and the all-important quarterback room.

Auburn fans have seen years of offensive inconsistency, and Golesh’s system promises to bring tempo, balance, and a modern passing attack that can finally compete with the SEC’s elite. We compare Deuce Knight, Ashton Daniels, and even former Tennessee QB Joe Milton as potential fits in Golesh’s scheme — and discuss why Auburn’s talent pool already aligns with his philosophy.

Beyond the X’s and O’s, this conversation hits on Auburn’s booster alignment, financial backing, and John Cohen’s bold leadership. Golesh’s success will depend not just on play-calling but on whether Auburn’s powerful donors are ready to get fully behind him, the same way they did for Hugh Freeze.

We also unpack Lane Kiffin’s shocking move to LSU and what it teaches Auburn about stability and leadership. Auburn doesn’t need another coach chasing the next big job — they need someone who wants to build a legacy on the Plains.

Finally, the crew lays out what success should look like in Year One. Is seven wins enough? Or should Auburn fans expect eight-plus wins regardless of roster turnover?

This is the conversation Auburn fans needed. Buckle up — the Golesh era has begun, and the future of Auburn football is on the move.
