Alex Golesh takes blame after Auburn football's loss to Florida: 'I own it'
"It's my program. They're my players. I lost today, and I own it." Here's a look at what Alex Golesh said following Auburn football's loss to Florida.
Auburn football suffered a 44-39 defeat to Florida on Saturday, September 19, marking the Gators' first victory at Jordan-Hare Stadium in over a quarter-century. Despite Florida's dominance, Alabama's new head coach Alex Golesh showed maturity in taking ownership of the loss during a 15-minute postgame press conference. He refrained from using the word "we" and did not single out any players or staff members, reflecting a more subdued reaction compared to his predecessor.
Golesh acknowledged the Tigers' struggles, emphasizing that the offense stagnated and the defense was far from its usual form. He also highlighted Florida's explosive plays, which accounted for 315 out of the Gators' 495 total yards. Golesh concluded by stating, "It's my program, they're my players. I lost today, and I own it."
