Auburn football's first-year coaching staff faces serious questions about its transfer portal decisions and roster construction. Did Alex Golesh and his staff misjudge Auburn's talent needs, particularly along the offensive and defensive lines? On Auburn HIT, Zac Blackerby breaks down two major concerns surrounding the Tigers as they prepare for Ole Miss. First, Ole Miss' loss to Texas may have made Auburn's upcoming trip to Oxford even more difficult. The Rebels now face increased pressure in the College Football Playoff race, and Auburn could be facing a desperate Ole Miss team with little margin for error. Would Auburn have benefited from Ole Miss entering this matchup with just one loss and a showdown against Georgia looming? Then, the conversation turns to Auburn's roster construction. Golesh and his staff emphasized finding players who fit their schemes during their first offseason, but have some of those evaluations fallen short? The offensive and defensive lines have struggled to consistently control games, while Auburn's edge rushing production remains a concern. Jared Smith entered the season with major expectations, but his development has not yet delivered the impact Auburn needs. Zac explains why the Tigers may need to change their transfer portal philosophy, prioritize elite difference-makers and invest more aggressively in premium positions. With a full recruiting and transfer portal cycle ahead, the decisions Auburn makes this offseason could determine how quickly Golesh can elevate the program. Can Auburn's coaching staff recognize its mistakes and make the necessary adjustments? #AuburnFootball #WarEagle #TransferPortal Photo Credit: Randy Sartin Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
