The College Loop

Auburn Football has a rich coaching history, but who truly stands at the top? In this episode of The College Loop, we rank the 5 greatest Auburn football coaches of all time, breaking down their impact, achievements, and lasting legacy on the program.

This ranking also serves as a tribute to Gus Malzahn, following his retirement, and a look back at how his tenure shaped modern Auburn football — from championship runs to iconic moments that defined an era.

Whether you grew up watching Pat Dye, lived through the Malzahn era, or want a full breakdown of Auburn’s coaching Mount Rushmore, this is a must-watch for every Auburn fan.

Auburn’s transfer portal cycle may be winding down, but the bigger story is how this roster was built.

In tonight’s episode of The College Loop, we take a step back from individual commitments and break down what Auburn actually did right in the portal under Alex Golesh. From prioritizing key positions and adding SEC-ready depth to balancing experience, upside, and long-term roster stability, this class reflects a clear and intentional plan.

We’ll discuss why Auburn’s approach stands out compared to recent years, how these additions fit the current roster, and what it all means heading into the upcoming season — without rehashing the same portal headlines you’ve already heard.

Is this the blueprint Auburn needed? Let’s connect the dots.

All that and more on today’s episode of The College Loop.

Alex Golesh didn’t just add depth through the transfer portal — he completely reworked Auburn’s tight end room.

In tonight’s episode of The College Loop, we break down why tight end became such a major point of emphasis for Auburn this cycle, what these portal additions say about Golesh’s offensive vision, and how this revamped group fits into the overall roster build heading into the season.

Is this position overhaul flying under the radar? And could it end up being one of the most important changes Auburn made this offseason?
