The Southeastern Conference officially announced the schedule for this year’s media days on April 8, 2026, confirming Golesh’s appearance on Day 2 of the event in Tampa, Florida. While specific times for his session have not been disclosed, the event will feature a lineup of coaches from across the league. The SEC media days schedule, released in alphabetical order, includes the following coaches: Brent Venables (Oklahoma), Eli Drinkwitz (Missouri), Will Stein (Kentucky), Josh Heupel (Tennessee), Alex Golesh (Auburn), Clark Lea (Vanderbilt), Kirby Smart (Georgia), Shane Beamer (South Carolina), Jon Sumrall (Florida), Kalen DeBoer (Alabama), Mike Elko (Texas A&M), Pete Golding (Ole Miss), Jeff Lebby (Mississippi State), Ryan Silverfield (Arkansas), and Steve Sarkisian (Texas). Golesh’s position in the schedule places him after several other coaches, including those from Oklahoma, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, and Georgia. Golesh’s appearance marks a significant moment for Auburn, as he will be speaking in his hometown of Montgomery, Alabama, where he previously served as an assistant coach. The media days event, held annually in Tampa, provides a platform for SEC coaches to address media inquiries, outline team goals, and preview the upcoming season. While the exact timing of Golesh’s session remains unspecified, the event’s structure typically allows for multiple sessions across the two-day event, with each coach’s availability determined by their team’s calendar and logistical arrangements.#tampa_florida #auburn #sec_media_days #alex_golesh #montgomery_alabama
