Ashton Daniels plans to enter portal, leave Auburn
During his introductory press conference, new coach Alex Golesh discussed his decision-making process at quarterback, especially in the coming weeks as their new head coach in determining who’s staying, who’s leaving, and who’s coming in as far as that position room. He said, regardless of any of that yet, this is going to be something that takes time as they ensure they pick the right quarterback for next fall in his debut season.
“Yeah, I think that’s a great question. You know, I’ve been in situations where you knew, going into spring, who your one, two, and three were. We were in that boat a year ago. I’ve been in situations, shoot, more times than I can even think of where it went all the way through August. I don’t know if you can rush that part of it,” said Golesh. “I do know this.
“You want to have the best competition you possibly can in a room, because, if you do, you let these guys compete, give them every opportunity to grow, develop within the base foundation of what you are from a system standpoint. And then you pick the guy that you feel like gives you the best chance to win, and there’s so many factors that go into that. There’s obviously the mental side of it. Like, who can process it faster than anybody else? There’s obviously the physical component to it.”
