Alex Golesh reportedly bringing multiple USF coaches to Auburn staff
Published:
New Auburn head coach Alex Golesh is off to a fast start on the Plains.
According to a report from CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz, Golesh has already identified a few key staff members who will be joining him at Auburn. The list includes offensive coordinator Joel Gordon, offensive line coach Tyler Hudanick, cornerbacks coach DeMarcus Van Dyke and strength and conditioning coach George Courides.
It was also previously reported by 247 Sports’ Nathan King that former Auburn player Kodi Burns is expected to have a role on Golesh’s staff. Burns was the co-offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach for USF in 2025.
Gordon has been at USF since the start of the 2023 season. He previously worked for Matt Campbell at Iowa State.
While those new additions are reportedly happening, it’s worth noting that they won’t necessarily have the same roles at Auburn as they did at USF. Golesh will presumably finalize other staff hires in the coming weeks.
Golesh was officially hired by Auburn earlier in the day on Sunday. He spent the last 3 seasons at South Florida before earning an opportunity to coach in the SEC as a head coach. He was previously the offensive coordinator at Tennessee.
