Byrum Brown Struggles at Auburn: Joel Gordon and Alex Golesh Face SEC Pressure | Auburn Football PodcastNouveau15 min

Auburn football made a massive investment in Byrum Brown, but is the experiment already headed toward failure? With Alex Golesh struggling to establish an offensive identity, questions surrounding Auburn's roster construction, and Georgia waiting on the schedule, the Tigers are facing some uncomfortable realities about their quarterback situation.

On this edition of the Midweek Auburn Express, we're taking a closer look at Auburn's decision to bring Byrum Brown from South Florida and whether that move has delivered anything close to the results the coaching staff expected.

Brown was supposed to provide stability. He already knew Alex Golesh's offense, understood the system, and had experience playing for the coaches responsible for Auburn's offensive production. The idea was simple: eliminate the learning curve and give Auburn a dependable quarterback while the program developed its future at the position.

But that hasn't happened.

According to the discussion, Brown is reportedly making approximately $3.5 million this season. With Auburn investing more than $30 million in roster construction, fans have every reason to question whether the Tigers are getting an acceptable return.
