Auburns New Coach Golesh Takes Control, Quashes Booster Rumors
Auburn footballs new head coach, Alex Golesh, is determined to steer clear of the past controversies surrounding meddling boosters. Before joining the team two months ago, he made it clear that he would only accept the position if he had full control over decisions.
In a recent interview, Golesh acknowledged hearing rumors about outside donors influencing the program for years. However, he demanded assurances upfront that no one would interfere, or he would not take the job.
So far, things seem to be going well at Auburn. Golesh emphasizes the importance of boosters in funding the operation, including talent buys and retaining players. However, he insists that everyone involved understands their roles and that boosters will not be making the calls.
Athletics director John Cohen has also shut down any talk of donor influence in the hiring process, stating that he was the one-man hiring committee. With open communication and clear boundaries, Golesh appears to be building his vision for the team without the drama that has plagued Auburn in the past.
