All right. Hey, it's been a busy time on the planes. So there's literally no one better to talk to than our buddy Mike G over at the war rapport. Mike, how you doing, man?

Good. Happy New Year, Mike. It's been definitely a busy time on

the planes here with Alex Golish starting his official era to Auburn football. We had to get

through this first part, Mike. Yes, month on the job for Alex Golish. What do you think

it's so far? I mean, let's wait, I'm not asking you to grade him or anything,

but is this kind of what you anticipated,

what happened with,

I mean, there's always transition when there's a new coach coming there.

But I know there's been some panic.

Are you panicked at all?

I don't know if panic is the word I would use to describe it.

But I definitely thought there

would be more retention, Mike. And here's the past that I'm giving Alex Golish that I think

that most fans need to understand is that there's a human nature to the exodus of players right now.

Number one, a lot of these players did not have a good experience at Auburn the last two

years with the last coaching staff.

And while that's not golish's fault, you know, Mike, I once, I used to leave in Phoenix,

I went to an I hop three times in a row and got food poisoning three times in a row.

Every time I see an eye hop, I'm like, my stomach kind of turns, right?

And you know, and the next I hops in another state and it's a different staff and it's not

their fault I got food poisoning, but my mind associates that feeling of food poisoning with

IHop. And Auburn is some of these kids, I hop.
