    Auburn Press Conferences: Alex Golesh previews Auburn's upcoming matchup with Vanderbilt

    Today’s show is brought to you in part by KALSHI! America’s #1 prediction market. Visit http://kalshi.com/r/Rapport to get your signup bonus today! Alex Golesh did not run away from Auburn football’s problems following the loss to Florida. Auburn’s head coach addressed everything from the Tigers’ brutal offensive start to play calling, Byrum Brown, seven sacks, offensive line problems, 24 missed tackles and what has to change before an undefeated Vanderbilt team comes to Jordan Hare Stadium. One of the biggest questions coming out of Florida was simple: Who is really calling Auburn’s plays? Golesh provided a direct answer. Joel Gordon remains Auburn’s play caller, but Golesh explained that the process is a group effort. Golesh, Kodi Burns and other members of the offensive staff provide input throughout the game, while Gordon ultimately makes the calls. Golesh also took responsibility for Auburn’s inability to get started offensively. The Tigers opened the Florida game with three disastrous possessions, but Golesh pointed out an incredible statistic. Auburn had six drives where it picked up the initial first down and scored touchdowns on five of those possessions. The problem was getting the offense started. That means finding a way to get Byrum Brown comfortable earlier. Golesh discussed using the quarterback run game, quick passes, movement passes and downfield shots to establish that rhythm. Protection remains another major concern. Auburn surrendered seven sacks against Florida, and Golesh admitted the Tigers have NOT settled on their best five offensive linemen. Auburn will continue experimenting with the group while trying to improve both its pass protection and running game Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    ALERT: Auburn’s Play Calling Makes NO SENSE? | Auburn’s Offense Needs a MAJOR Adjustment | Auburn Podcast

    Auburn football has more questions than answers after the loss to Florida, and some of the biggest questions are about how this offense is being called. Why isn't Auburn doing more to stretch defenses horizontally in the running game? Why does the offense find something that works and then seemingly abandon it? And how much of Auburn's inconsistent rushing attack comes down to Byrum Brown making the correct decisions in the read game? Those questions matter because Auburn can't continue relying on individual playmaking to rescue an offense that struggles to consistently stay on schedule. There were opportunities against Florida to establish the run. Even gaining three or four yards is better than dropping Brown back behind an offensive line that has struggled in protection and risking another sack or negative play. Auburn needs more variety. Outside runs. Sweeps. Speed option. Different ways to get playmakers into space and force the defense to defend the entire width of the field. Learn more about your ad choices.

    ALERT: Who’s REALLY Calling Plays for AU? | Play Calling & Run Game Need MAJOR Work | Auburn Podcast

    Today’s show is brought to you in part by KALSHI! America’s #1 prediction market. Visit http://kalshi.com/r/Rapport to get your signup bonus today! Who is really calling the plays for Auburn football when things start going wrong? Alex Golesh addressed that question directly following Auburn’s loss to Florida, and his answer gives a much clearer picture of how the Tigers are handling their offense. Joel Gordon is the play caller, but Golesh made it clear that Auburn’s offensive operation is a group effort with multiple coaches providing input throughout the game. More importantly, Golesh put the responsibility for Auburn’s slow starts on the entire offensive operation, including himself. Auburn’s first three drives against Florida went nowhere, but once the Tigers finally picked up a first down, the offense looked dramatically different. Golesh pointed out that Auburn scored touchdowns on five of the six drives in which the Tigers picked up an initial first down. That makes the biggest question pretty simple: How does Auburn find that rhythm earlier? The running game could be a major part of the answer. Jeremiah Cobb and Omar Mabson have combined for 53 carries while Byrum Brown has 52 carries. Cobb and Mabson are averaging more than five yards per carry combined, while Brown is averaging 3.2 yards per attempt. That balance has to be examined. Brown’s ability to run is an important part of what makes him dangerous, but Auburn also needs to get its running backs involved consistently. Cobb has shown he can produce when given opportunities, and Auburn cannot continue talking about establishing the run without giving its backs enough chances to control games.

    Why Isn’t Auburn Using Jeremiah Cobb?! | Auburn Podcast

    Auburn football doesn't just need to beat Vanderbilt. The Tigers need to look different doing it. After the loss to Florida, there are legitimate questions about Byrum Brown, Auburn's offensive line, Jeremiah Cobb's usage, the running game and whether Alex Golesh can adjust his offense to the personnel he actually has. Start with Brown. There were too many plays against Florida where Brown held onto the football waiting for something to develop. Auburn's offensive line hasn't played well enough for that. At some point, the coaching staff has to recognize what this line can and cannot do and build the offense accordingly. Get the football out quicker. Give Brown easier decisions. If the throw isn't there and there's room to run, make the decision and go. Auburn can't continue allowing slow developing plays to turn into sacks and negative situations. That connects directly to another problem: Auburn hasn't started fast offensively this season. The Tigers have yet to consistently take control on the first couple of drives. That's something that needs to change against Vanderbilt. Auburn needs to establish rhythm early rather than spending another Saturday trying to figure out its offense after falling behind.

    WARNING: Auburn’s Problems Aren’t Going Away Without Drastic Change | Auburn Podcast

    Auburn football is three games into the season, and some of the same concerns that appeared early are becoming much harder to ignore. The biggest question offensively is simple: What does Auburn consistently do well? Alex Golesh acknowledged after the Florida loss that Auburn couldn't find a rhythm offensively. That showed throughout the game. Auburn came out attempting to establish Byrum Brown and the passing attack, but the Tigers struggled to consistently protect the quarterback or create enough room in the running game. That's what makes the offensive line such a major concern. In previous seasons, Auburn could sometimes separate its offensive line problems. Pass protection might struggle while the Tigers still generated enough movement in the running game to survive. Right now, Auburn is having problems doing both. Brown remains capable of making plays with his arm and legs, but Auburn can't build an SEC offense around waiting for its quarterback to create something when everything else breaks down. The Tigers need consistency. They need a running game. They need their other playmakers involved. Most importantly, Auburn needs an identity. The defensive conversation isn't much more encouraging.

    ALERT: 24 Missed Tackles Tell Auburn’s ENTIRE Story | Auburn Podcast

    Auburn football has plenty to fix after losing to Florida, but one number explains a massive part of what went wrong: 24 missed tackles. That is simply not winning football. Auburn entered this game with a defense that had earned the benefit of the doubt. Even during years when the offense struggled, the Tigers could usually count on the defense to keep games manageable and give Auburn an opportunity late. Against Florida, that completely disappeared. The Tigers couldn't tackle consistently, couldn't get off the field on critical downs and forced only one punt all night. Florida repeatedly faced third and long situations only to find another way to extend the drive. That's what makes this performance so disappointing. There will be plenty of discussion about DJ Durkin, the defensive scheme and what Auburn needs to change. But sometimes football is simpler than that. Auburn had defenders in position to make plays and didn't make them. Twenty four missed tackles can't be explained away by scheme. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    ALERT: Is Byrum Brown Holding The BALL Too LONG?! | Auburn Football Podcast

    Today’s show is brought to you in part by KALSHI! America’s #1 prediction market. Visit http://kalshi.com/r/Rapport to get your signup bonus today! Auburn football has a lot to clean up after a frustrating loss to Florida, and the conversation starts with Byrum Brown. Brown has put up respectable passing numbers through the early portion of the season, but the numbers do not tell the entire story. Auburn’s offense continues to start slowly, Brown has held onto the football too long on several plays, and the Tigers have not consistently taken advantage of one of the biggest weapons their quarterback brings to the field: his legs. So how does Alex Golesh get Byrum Brown going against Vanderbilt? Getting the ball out quickly could be part of the answer. Designed quarterback runs could be another. Auburn also needs Brown to recognize when a play is breaking down and take off instead of waiting too long for something to develop downfield. When Brown gets into space, he has shown exactly how dangerous he can be as a runner. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Auburn Football vs Florida Reaction | Alex Golesh Searching for Answers After Loss

    Auburn Football has some serious questions to answer after Florida walked into Jordan Hare Stadium and handed the Tigers a 44 to 39 loss in the SEC opener. The defense was bad, the offensive line struggled, Byrum Brown was inconsistent early, and Alex Golesh admitted Auburn simply was not where it needed to be. The biggest concern coming out of this game is figuring out exactly what Auburn can consistently do well. Florida controlled the football for nearly 40 minutes and Auburn’s defense struggled to get off the field. DJ Durkin’s unit gave up explosive runs, missed tackles, busted assignments and allowed Florida to convert critical third and fourth downs. Jadan Baugh finished with 162 rushing yards and three touchdowns as Auburn surrendered 243 rushing yards. That is not what anyone expected from this defense. Learn more about your ad choices.
