Former Tennessee offensive coordinator and tight ends coach Alex Golesh was introduced as Auburn‘s head coach on Dec. 1.
He hired former Tennessee assistant Tim Banks as the Tigers’ co-defensive coordinator and safeties coach. Banks served as the Vols’ defensive coordinator from 2021-25.
“Tim Banks is going to be a huge asset to our staff at Auburn,” Golesh said. “Tim and I have worked together twice before and competed against each other for years, so I know that he’s one of the most respected defensive minds in college football.
“He’s an elite teacher who develops players at the highest level, and beyond the football part, he’s a man of tremendous character who cares deeply about young people. Our program is going to benefit from having Tim working alongside the rest of our staff.”
Golesh was on Tennessee’s coaching staff, along with Banks, from 2021-22.
