Auburn's New Coach Golesh Aims for 8 Wins

0:00On April 16th Auburn just hired 41-year-old Alex Gilesh as their new head coach to turn around years of struggles in the SEC. He comes from USF where his offense ranked third nationally in total yards per game last season and fifth in scoring at 40.5 points per game. Fans hope he can get the Tigers back to contending for titles. One bold prediction from CBS Sports analyst Brandon Marcello has Auburn winning at least eight games in Gilesh's first year. That would be their first time hitting that mark since 2019. He points to Gilesh bringing key pieces from USF to spark quick results. Expectations outside Auburn are low, but Marcello sees a hungry squad taking advantage of an easier schedule. The new coach's exciting offense should click fast with fresh talent ready to prove itself on the planes. Gilesh also brought quarterback Byron Brown, who's underrated, plus top receivers like Ashahn Singleton. On defense, DJ.
