Auburn football is undergoing a serious culture reset. In this episode, we break down how Alex Golesh is “cleaning house” — cutting ties with habits, mindsets, and behaviors that have held the program back. From accountability and leadership to locker-room standards and long-term vision, we examine what a toxic culture looks like, how it forms, and why Golesh believes real change has to start off the field before it shows up on Saturdays. Is this the reset Auburn fans have been waiting for, or just another rebuild buzzword? Let's dig in. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Nathan King from Auburn Undercover stopped by Tuesday's 3 Man Front to share his insight into Cam Coleman's decision to enter the transfer portal, the future of Auburn's QB room & how much money Alex Golesh has to build out a roster. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, I break down why Alex Golesh might be the right coach for Auburn—without making promises or guarantees. Using context, scheme fit, program needs, and coaching background, I lay out the specific reasons this hire has a realistic path to success if certain things go right. This isn't hype and it isn't blind optimism; it's an analytical look at why the process, philosophy, and timing of the Golesh hire make sense for Auburn. We'll examine what Auburn needs right now, how Golesh's approach aligns with that, and what ultimately has to happen for this move to work. Learn more about your ad choices.

Auburn enters the offseason facing a familiar—but complex—quarterback question. With new head coach Alex Golesh bringing a quarterback background and portal experience, and talented freshman Deuce Knight already on the roster, the Tigers must decide how to balance immediate stability with long-term development. In this episode, we break down Auburn's quarterback situation through a roster-management lens. Rather than framing it as a simple choice between the transfer portal and player development, we explore why there's a realistic path forward that includes both. We discuss fit, timelines, development curves, and how modern college football staffs build QB rooms in the portal era—without sacrificing the future. Learn more about your ad choices.

On this football recap, Will Compton and Taylor Lewan link up with NFL legend and FOX analyst Greg Olsen to break down another loaded week across the league. The boys open with the analytics behind the Bears–Eagles two-point decision and why the numbers sparked debate across NFL circles. They move into Panthers–Rams before taking a full lap around the NFC East and asking the big question: can the Cowboys actually win the division? They also dive into the NFC North race, hit the AFC South battles shaping the playoff picture, and close with Miami’s headline storyline — should the Dolphins stay committed to Mike McDaniel?
