Summary
Auburn’s new head coach Alex Golesh is being compared to Oregon’s Dan Lanning by recruiting analyst Steve Wiltfong, who highlights Golesh’s impressive early recruiting haul from top rivals and the strong, cohesive culture already taking shape. While Lanning’s Oregon has dominated with double-digit wins and a championship run, Auburn’s tough early schedule — including clashes with Georgia, LSU, and Ole Miss — presents a steep climb. Yet, the fast-changing college football landscape, exemplified by Curt Cignetti’s Indiana turnaround, suggests Golesh has the tools to succeed with the right support. Even influential voices like Jimmy Rane are backing the hire, emphasizing Auburn’s commitment to giving Golesh every chance to build a winning program — even without championship pedigree. The real test? Can that recruiting momentum and culture translate into wins on the field. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
