Show Notes
Justin and Dan are back in studio to record a wide-ranging episode on Alex Golesh’s first week with Auburn football and Auburn basketball’s loss at Arizona. Topics include:
* Golesh saying his top priority is re-recruiting the current roster
* why Golesh could have gone clean slate with the program — but isn’t
* the right approach to retaining talent, given Auburn’s recent situation
* the quarterback situation and the Deuce Knight debate among fans
* putting the importance of recruiting into the proper context
* a reminder of why Auburn decided to hire Alex Golesh in the first place
* why bringing over USF staffers (and maybe talent) makes sense
* building the Year 1 staff of assistants, including a couple of new names
* Beef O’Brady’s?
* what went so wrong for Auburn basketball at Arizona
* why this particular loss isn’t a reason to hit the panic button
* how Auburn basketball didn’t look connected enough on both ends of the floor
* putting Auburn’s 7-3 start in the proper context
* looking ahead to the rest of the schedule, including that Purdue trip next week
* A NOTE FROM DAN: Because of technical difficulties, we had to edit out the original ending of this episode. Justin provided thoughts about his visit to Tucson (he described some delicious Mexican food) and I lamented the looming end of 80s pro wrestling on Peacock and its uncertain streaming future. I vow that we will revisit both subjects in the future on The Auburn Observer Podcast.
