I am so impressed by Golesh. We got ourselves another nerd, y'all!
what should Auburn expect from an Alex Golesh offense? I dug deep into his numbers and the Xs and Os:
- high-level QB play, especially deep downfield

- plenty of production to go around at WR — and TE
- decisiveness and aggressiveness

"we're going to be explosive on offense, we're going to play really fast, we're going to challenge teams in every imaginable way, and we're going to run the friggin ball. People 'round here like running the football, and I can respect it" -Alex Golesh

Gotcha, thanks--knew Cohen had asked Sumrall to keep Durkin but had not personally seen reliable reporting whether that had actually been a motivating factor in his decision.
Frankly Cohen got lucky Golesh hadn't already decamped to Arkansas but all's well that ends well over here

Not trying to give overwhelming credit to John Cohen, who hired Hugh Freeze and clearly gave a real look at hiring DJ Durkin. BUT winding up with Golesh after their top target all along picked Florida over them, and doing it while running a fairly quiet search, is good administrating
