Golesh ruffling feathers?

The 1700 follower account is mad that he isn't getting exclusives (that he never had anyway).

Auburn's boosters and AD probably need pissing off anyway, if by some miracle this is true.

Exactly. If any of those people think that the same old way of doing things needs to continue, then they will get the same results that they have always gotten. Sometimes, stirring the pot is absolutely what is needed.

Golesh seems like a guy who can turn the tide there, if people get out of his way and let him. If not, they are headed to becoming another Nebraska of the past 20 years.

Living here in Alabama, the years before Saban were fun. Finebaum wasn't SEC network then, just broadcasting and being syndicated around the state. He's always been a bit of a prick, but listening to him during the "Mikes" was gold (Mike Shula, Mike Dubose, Mike Price - too bad Francione wasn't named Mike). They were in meltdown mode there for years (and some of you missed it by not being born yet). Finebaum made a fortune off sticking the knife in deep when a coach hit a snag, for whatever reason. A shark when there is blood in the water, and gasoline on the fire.

(Here's where I tie this back to Auburn - patience grasshopper). The problem about coaches showing up in Tuscaloosa after Bear died, was the former players and even Paul Bryant jr. There was MUCH backseat driving to those coaches. They literally could override a coaches decision on how the team was being managed. (Bear wouldn't have done it this way!) Saban showed up and shut all that down. "This is my program and we are going to do it my way". He set boundaries right out of the gate, and that whole group backed down, with their feathers ruffled, and the rest is history.

Of all the "available" coaches this season, Kiffin, Franklin etc, I always thought Golesh was the up and comer. I attribute much of Hendon Hooker, Jaylen Hyatt and that 2022 team on Golesh and Heupel's chemistry working in tandem. Maybe more Golesh than Heupel really. A comparison would be Cutcliff's influence on a Phil Fulmer offense. Different story once he left.

I wish Golesh luck at Auburn. I hope Bama never beats him and I hope he has fond memories of Knoxville as he leaves a loser on 10-03-26.

There is no use in kissing anyone’s behind in Auburn. They’re going to scapegoat fire the coach eventually.

Terry Bowden, Tommy Tuberville, Gene Chizik, Gus Malzan - all had at least one incredible season before getting ran off.

Any SEC coach is going to have an ego/opinion that they will do things their way...that's how they're wired. Do your thing, and if it fails, you still get paid enough to retire for life. I suspect Golish will be the shining star of all of the SEC hires this year...but that's just me.

Yep. Gotta get rid of the primadonnas and malcontents and establish a disciplined culture. Gonna be some pain early on. Not every kid will want to play for a guy like Golesh much like not every kid wants to play for a guy like Barnes, but when they do.....

I agree with this 100%

That’s not to say I think Golesh was the main reason for success here, but we also didn’t equally replace him when he left either, there is a void there we still need to fill on some levels

Auburn is a better job than a lot of people give it credit for. Since 1980, Auburn has had 5 seasons where they were either undefeated, played for or won a national title, or both. They've had 11 seasons where they finished in the top 10. You can win big there. What makes it hard for a coach is that the lows are very low.
