USF Head Coach Alex Golesh has lived the kind of story college football rarely sees — from arriving in America as a seven-year-old Russian immigrant with just $400, to leading one of the fastest-rising programs in the nation.
In this full-length sit-down, Trey Wingo dives into Golesh’s journey — learning English word-by-word, falling in love with the game through a summer camp in New York, grinding from high-school assistant to Tennessee offensive coordinator, and now building a contender at South Florida.
Golesh opens up about:
- The sacrifices his parents made to chase the American Dream.
- How his “right-here, right-now” process-driven philosophy rebuilt USF’s culture.
- The highs of beating Boise State and Florida — and the humility that followed.
- What it really means to outwork, outthink, and out-recruit everyone around you.
This is college football meets the American Dream — hard work, family, and faith in the process.
