Auburn named South Florida's Alex Golesh as the program's new head coach on Sunday.

Golesh, who was the Bulls' head coach, accepted a six-year contract with the Tigers, per ESPN.

He effectively will take the place of Hugh Freeze, who was fired on Nov. 2. Golesh will return to the Southeastern Conference, where he was Tennessee's offensive coordinator and tight ends coach in 2021 and 2022, respectively.

"I want to thank President (Christopher B.) Roberts and (athletic director) John Cohen for the opportunity to lead the Auburn program," Golesh said. "Auburn Football is one of the proudest, most tradition-rich programs in all of college football and my family and I could not be more excited to join the Auburn family. This will be a player-driven program, and no one will outwork our staff.
