2026 Auburn Wide Receiver Room: A Full Reset

Auburn’s wide receiver room will be nearly unrecognizable in 2026, with roughly 95% of last season’s receiver production gone. Cam Coleman, Eric Singleton Jr., Malcolm Simmons, and Horatio Fields all exited via the transfer portal, leaving Auburn with a completely clean slate at the position.

Auburn vs. LSU (2019): A Defensive Plan for the Ages

In 2019, the LSU offense seemed unstoppable. From a defensive perspective, it was the toughest challenge our players and staff faced in the 2019 season and arguably the most demanding game plan in Kevin Steele’s tenure at Auburn.

Alex Golesh Offensive Philosophy

Alex Golesh arrives as Auburn’s 33rd head coach, bringing with him an offensive scheme that was number two in total offense in 2025. After transforming South Florida in just three seasons, he brings an offensive identity built on tempo and a bit of swagger that's hopeful to bring a breath of fresh air to the Auburn Tigers.

College Football Organizational Structure is Broken

We're only through week 8 of the college football season, and the coaching carousel is already in full tilt. Two SEC coaches have been let go, and I can't help but wonder when an organization will try to do things differently.

Auburn vs Oklahoma: 2025 Preview

Auburn and Oklahoma meet Saturday in a game that feels like a tone-setter for both programs. Hugh Freeze has talked all week about the challenge Brent Venables’ defense presents, and Auburn’s defense has its own test trying to contain quarterback John Mateer in Ben Arbuckle’s scheme. Here’s where this one will be decided.

Alabama Offense vs FSU: Quick Hits

Ty Simpson wasn’t amazing, but Alabama’s play-calling didn’t do him many favors. A pass-heavy script in bad weather and a first-time starter is a bold strategy from Kalen DeBoer and Ryan Grubb.

The Most Talented WR Room in Auburn History?

Okay yeah, it's July and we haven't even seen these guys all play together. I get it. But when I look at the talent of this group, I really believe this is the most talented group of receivers Auburn has ever had.

Why are College Football teams still working out of Google Sheets?

It was a problem when I worked in college football 6 years ago, and it's still a problem now. College Football personnel departments are building massive Google Sheets to track their recruiting and roster management, and I don't quite understand why.

2024 Week 1 Highlight Performance

As an Auburn guy, watching Diego Pavia crush our spirits last year in week 12 was brutal (and embarrassing), but he's a BALLER, and he's turned me into a fan. The 2023 Conference USA POY led the Commodores to a huge week 1 win against a potential ACC Championship contender in Virginia Tech, and he showed total command and composition from start to finish.
