MASTERCLASS: Auburn, Alex Golesh's Staff SHAKES UP the SEC, RIDICULOUS Amount of Experience

Auburn Tigers shake up SEC expectations as Alex Golesh assembles one of the league’s most intriguing football staffs—blending seasoned defensive coordinators like DJ Durkin, Tim Banks, and Coleman Hutzler with rising stars and former head coaches. Could this dynamic mix of experience and youth be the secret weapon Auburn needs to compete at the highest level?

Zac Blackerby and Ben Taylor break down key hires, the strategy behind bringing Cody Burns back as associate head coach, and how Tyler Hudanik’s offensive line decisions may shape Auburn’s 2026 season. The conversation spotlights the impact of the transfer portal, quarterback drama surrounding Deuce and Byrum Brown, and why this portal season feels different. Don’t miss insider analysis on Auburn’s evolving identity and the burning question: is this the youngest, most forward-thinking staff in the SEC?
