Auburn Tigers head coach Alex Golesh wants everything to work off the run, and he wants to keep a defense on its heels. He goes into detail on what Auburn fans can expect from his offense.
00:00Yeah, I would tell you the foundation of it is everything starts with the run.
00:09We find ways to run the football.
00:13We find ways to create matchups in the run game.
00:17Off of the run game sets up everything downfield in the pass game.
00:22We use the entire width of the field.
00:25We'll condense it.
00:26We'll expand it.
00:27And we use tempo to our advantage, put defenses to a disadvantage, try to simplify what defenses can do.
00:37And we try to create one-on-one matchups with as much space as you imaginably can.
00:42That's the offense.
00:43Yeah, Justin, I think the most important thing from whether it's offense, defense, or special teams, it all has to complement each other.
00:52When you talk about complementary football, it's got to match.
00:55And the culture you build on all three sides of the ball, it has to match.
01:01So if we're going to be uber-aggressive on offense, and by aggressive means calculated, that doesn't mean that you're doing things that are irrational or don't make sense.
01:11But if we're going to be uber-aggressive, we're going to make defenses play on their heels, the defense has got to match.
01:17You've got to create extra possessions.
01:19You've got to create explosives.
01:21You've got to get the ball back to the offense.
01:24And the special teams have got to match.
01:25If you're going to be uber-aggressive on offense and uber-aggressive on defense, when the special teams got to match, the special teams tie it all together.
01:32And as you look at what we've done throughout my time, whether it be as an offensive coordinator, special teams coordinator, or as a head coach, that's been the key.
01:43And I think as you build a culture within the program and you go into offseason training, and they understand that the theme of what you do is that you're going to be aggressive, that's how you train in the offseason.
01:56That's how you prepare in the offseason.
01:58And everything you do within the program is just that.
02:00If we're going to play fast on offense, play fast on defense, play fast on special teams, we're going to train that way.
02:05And I think it just truly becomes your foundation.
02:08It becomes the culture, quote-unquote, of the program that you're going to be aggressive.
