Kiesau followed Bryan Harsin to Auburn as an offensive analyst in 2021. Due to the firing of Cornelius Williams after four games, Kiesau was promoted to wide receivers coach. After forty-five days of Austin Davis as offensive coordinator, Kiesau took over the quarterbacks coach/offensive coordinator duties in 2022. Auburn fired Kiesau on October 31, 2022, along with Harsin and several other staffers.[5]
