Alex Golesh is giving Auburn fans something Hugh Freeze never could

The Auburn Tigers hired Alex Golesh for a reason. The former South Florida head coach did extraordinary things during his run in Tampa. Prior to that, he was Josh Heupel's trusted offensive coordinator when the Tennessee Volunteers were just starting to turn it around. Now that he has come to Auburn, look for Golesh to do what he does... He has the energy to reclaim this program.

He talked to local reporters about how much fun Auburn is going to have playing football this year.

"You look at us, it's gonna be a fun brand of football. It think it'll be complimentary in the sense that hopefully what you saw was an aggressive approach on both sides."

Golesh then explained why Auburn's spring game was not televised, but had good reasons for this.

"We limited what we did on both sides. There were some in-depth meetings with both sides of the ball. Even though it wasn't televised, there was still footage of it all over the place. We tried to be smart with what got put out there."

Golesh then made it a point to drive him the idea that "it's going to be a fun brand of football" this year.

"It's going to be a fun brand of football. We're so aggressive and multiple defensively. We're so aggressive and multiple offensively. It'll be a fun brand of football."

For as little fun as everyone seemed to have during the Hugh Freeze era, this is a breath of fresh air.

Add in how well Golesh has been recruiting since coming to Auburn, and things are really looking up!

Alex Golesh's energy will make Auburn fans forget all about Hugh Freeze

No doubt about it. This is not going to be a one-year turnaround for the Tigers. Auburn is in the midst of its most trying decade in quite some time. This traditional power has not been up to standard throughout the College Football Playoff era. While making the 12-team field this year seems like too tall of an ask, maybe Auburn can win eight-or-nine games and decide who will make it out of the SEC?

Although Golesh never won the Group of Five during his time at South Florida, we cannot forget how awful his predecessor Jeff Scott was when he was leading the Bulls. He too was a former hotshot coordinator from a traditional power over at Clemson. He did not games at USF. Golesh had the Bulls on the brink of CFP viability in each of his last two years in Tampa. Will he bring Auburn back to glory?

Let's make one thing perfectly clear. It is going to take complete and total buy-in from all parties involved at Auburn to get the Tigers back to where they belong in the SEC and national hierarchy. Right now, Golesh is giving off the early vibes of potentially being that guy. Simply put, he is totally comfortable being uncomfortable. He has won everywhere he has been before. Auburn is hopeful.

For now, Golesh has a great shot to make all of War Eagle Nation forget about Freeze in one season.
