Can Auburn reach a bowl game in Alex Golesh’s first season? Former Auburn defensive coordinator Ellis Johnson believes the Tigers still have a chance, but the road to six wins won't be easy.

Johnson joins Auburn Undercover publisher Ronnie Sanders for the latest edition of Coach’s Corner to examine Auburn’s 24-14 loss at Tennessee, concerns about the defense and quarterback Byrum Brown’s continued development.

The discussion also focuses on Auburn’s challenging remaining schedule, including Saturday’s trip to No. 1 Georgia, and why the Tigers likely need a major SEC upset to become bowl eligible.

Johnson and Sanders also preview the biggest games around the SEC, discuss the futures of Dabo Swinney and Mike Norvell and examine the possibility of expanding the College Football Playoff to 24 teams.

Watch the complete edition of Coach’s Corner in the video above.
