It's the first head-coaching job for Golding, who was Alabama's defensive coordinator under Nick Saban from 2018-22 before joining Kiffin at Ole Miss. A native of Louisiana, Golding played safety at Delta State in Mississippi, and has also coached at his alma mater in addition to Tusculum, Southeastern Louisiana, Southern Miss and UT-San Antonio.

2+ hour, 43+ min ago (308+ words) Since Alex Golesh started the college coaching journey that led to becoming Auburn's head football coach on Sunday, he has worked with 21 NFL players as position coach, coordinator or head coach. During that same period, Auburn has sent 97 players to the NFL. Eleven of Golesh's NFL players come from the Tennessee teams of the 2021 and 2022 seasons, when he served as the Volunteers' offensive coordinator and tight-ends coach. Those players include Darnell Wright, whose work at right offensive tackle for the Chicago Bears has helped anchor the team's turnaround to a 9-3 record in the 2025 season. Wright is also the only first-round draft pick on Golesh's NFL roster. After working with Golesh as the Vols' offensive coordinator for two seasons, Wright joined the Bears as the 10th pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. Fourteen of Golesh's 21 NFL players were drafted. Golesh has worked the…...

3+ hour, 28+ min ago (290+ words) Paul Finebaum didn't hold back Sunday when discussing the chaos that is Lane Kiffin. "It's hard to see this ending any way but bad," Finebaum said during his weekly appearance on "The Matt Barrie Show." "Usually, that's how most relationships with Lane Kiffin end." Kiffin is expected to be the next coach at LSU, a job that would reportedly pay him between $12 million and $14 million a year. His desire to coach the Rebels has been a sticking point, and it appears he gave his offensive staffers an ultimatum. Meanwhile, it appears defensive coordinator Pete Golding will reportedly serve as an interim for Ole Miss in the College Football Playoff. "This is par for the course," Finebaum said. "All the people who thought we have a new Lane Kiffin are finding out we don't. "While his team has been having a…...

5+ hour, 45+ min ago (283+ words) Alabama football might not have won Saturday's Iron Bowl at Auburn without Conor Talty. After a shaky regular season, the Crimson Tide kicker was nails in Jordan-Hare Stadium, making a 45-yard kick to open the scoring and adding a 29-yarder later. After the game, Crimson Tide head coach Kalen DeBoer praised Talty's resiliency. The performance for Talty came a week after he was booed multiple times at Bryant-Denny Stadium. He missed a kick in that game, and the Crimson Tide coaches gave other kickers chances as UA blew out Eastern Illinois. The boos were in part due to the week prior, when Talty was caught on camera berating long-snapper David Bird after missing a kick. The snap on the play was high, but viewers largely decried Talty's actions. DeBoer also made clear that he wasn't a fan of the display....

5+ hour, 54+ min ago (502+ words) A new era began on the Plains today, as now former USF head coach Alex Golesh was hired to lead the Auburn football program. He replaces recently fired coach Hugh Freeze and takes over a program looking to finally get back to the level of success it was once used to. Auburn hasn't won more than six games since 2019. It's missed out on a bowl game in three of the last four seasons. Neither of the previous two head coaches ever found any success, as Golesh hopes to be the man to turn things around. Looking at his brief head coaching career so far, Golesh has experience with turning programs around. At USF, the Bulls were 4-29 in the three seasons before he arrived, but 23-15 in Golesh's three years in charge. His 7-6 season in 2023 was the program's first winning record in…...
