In this jam-packed episode, Coach is joined by CBS Sports national college football writer Dennis Dodd and analyst Charles Davis to deliver an insider look at the seismic operational, legislative, and coaching shifts rewriting the college sports landscape. The show kicks off with a deep dive into contrasting transfer portal philosophies—pitting Oklahoma State’s massive 80-plus player roster overhaul against Georgia’s selective, high-school-first approach—before Dodd breaks down a pending bipartisan congressional bill that could introduce strict federal oversight and a hard spending cap on athletic rosters. Coach explores how unprecedented financial investments have turned modern athletic facilities into self-contained living spaces to maximize player retention, while also addressing the normalization of coaches using non-traditional media platforms and the urgent need for comprehensive gambling education amid recent player controversies. After lamenting the loss of historic intra-conference rivalries and analyzing how all 16 SEC programs are strategically utilizing the transfer portal, the discussion shifts to a fascinating wave of high-profile coaching resets. The guys analyze Matt Campbell taking the reins at Penn State to replace James Franklin, the unique mechanics behind Michigan landing Kyle Whittingham from Utah, Alex Golesh’s explosive offensive fit at Auburn, and John Sumrall’s high-ceiling jump from Tulane to Florida. Finally, the segment wraps up with a sharp critique of the newly expanded 76-team NCAA men's basketball tournament and a definitive ranking of three powerhouse programs looking to bounce back under current leadership, detailing USC’s physical improvements in the trenches, Dabo Swinney finally embracing NIL and the portal at Clemson, and lingering skepticism surrounding Mike Norvell's Florida State squad.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Coach is joined by Charles Davis to break down a fascinating wave of high-profile coaching changes and program resets across college football. The guys dive right into the massive musical chairs happening at the top, starting with Matt Campbell taking over a Penn State program that Charles calls "the university of the Northeast". They note that while James Franklin put up great numbers, his struggles in high-profile national games ultimately opened the door for Campbell's elite talent-developing style. Moving over to Michigan, they pull back the curtain on Kyle Whittingham’s unique transition; it turns out Utah was already priming Morgan Scalley as the coach-in-waiting, which essentially allowed Michigan to swoop in and land Whittingham without a massive buyout battle since he had technically stepped down. Down south, they expect Alex Golesh to be a seamless fit with Auburn’s incredibly loyal fanbase thanks to his deep southern recruiting roots and explosive offensive background from Tennessee, while John Sumrall’s jump from Tulane to Florida has them both highly optimistic given his proven knack for elevating programs. To wrap things up, the guys rank three powerhouse programs looking to bounce back under their current leadership. Lincoln Riley’s USC squad takes the #1 spot after glowing spring reports about the trenches looking better than they have in years. Dabo Swinney and Clemson land at #2 as Dabo finally embraces "Realville" by mixing the transfer portal and NIL into his traditional high school recruiting philosophy. At a distant #3 is Mike Norvell’s Florida State team, where the hosts admit they're skeptical of a quick fix since the Seminoles just haven't looked the same since that heartbreaking playoff omission two seasons ago.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Auburn Tigers head coach Alex Golesh joins The Next Round for a wide-ranging conversation covering everything from celebrity moments at a charity golf event to the new reality of building a winning college football program. Golesh talks about being starstruck meeting John Daly and Bo Jackson, his relationship with country music star Riley Green, and how those connections can help Auburn Football in the modern NIL era. The conversation also dives deep into the future of college football spring practice, including why Golesh still supports the current 15-practice model — unless the transfer portal changes the rules. He also explains why spring games matter for young players, what coaches learn from scrimmages, and how to evaluate Byrum Brown after an up-and-down performance. Plus, Golesh opens up about the constant fundraising demands of modern college football, the true cost of roster retention, and why his goal at Auburn is not just to compete — it is to win a national championship. Can Alex Golesh bring a fun, winning brand of football back to Auburn? #AlexGolesh, #AuburnFootball, #AuburnTigers, #SECfootball, #CollegeFootball, #NIL, #ByrumBrown, #TheNextRound, #TransferPortal, #RileyGreen SUBSCRIBE: @NextRoundLive - / @nextroundlive FOLLOW TNR ON SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/7zlofzLZht7dYxjNcBNpWN FOLLOW TNR ON APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-next-round/id1797862560 WEBSITE: https://nextroundlive.com/ MOBILE APP: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/the-next-round/id1580807480 SHOP THE NEXT ROUND STORE: https://nextround.store/ Like TNR on Facebook: / nextroundlive Follow TNR on Twitter: / nextroundlive Follow TNR on Instagram: / nextroundlive Follow everyone from the show on Twitter: Jim Dunaway: / jimdunaway Ryan Brown: / ryanbrownlive Lance Taylor: / thelancetaylor Scott Forester: / scottforestertv Tyler Johns: /TylerJohnsTNR Sponsor the show: sales@nextroundlive.com Learn more about your ad choices.

To hear more, visit www.splitzoneduo.comSUBSCRIBER EPISODE: Richard, Alex, and host emeritus Steven Godfrey bounce around to a handful of college football news stories that demand more discussion: * 1:46: Kentucky's attempt to set up a sketchy $1 million job for outgoing athletic director Mitch Barnhart, which came apart under political pressure* 12:02: Virginia Tech's disempowered AD finally stepping away * 19:18: The unusual amount of post-job change animosity flowing toward Auburn coach Alex Golesh from USF * 30:40: Jeremy Pruitt's tangled mess of an attempt to get out of his NCAA show cause, and what it tells us about the current state of enforcement * 38:42: The NCAA seems poised to move up Week 1 to the current Week 0 slot in late August. Why is this happening? Well, the NFL. Does college football have any chance of hanging on to a prime calendar spot? And what other sacred spots on the schedule might be under attack?

In this episode, we're joined by Cole Cubelic (SEC Network, McElroy and Cubelic in the Morning, The Cube Show) for an SEC vibe check. It's not a preview, just the temperature of the conference in late April. Cole pulls no punches on the reality facing SEC fan bases: Nick Saban's standards aren't coming back, sub-goals like winning the conference have been devalued, and we've collectively forgotten what a genuinely successful season looks like. Plus, we dive in the strange Kalen DeBoer hot seat chatter, Shane Beamer's underrated portal wizardry at South Carolina, why the Alex Golesh hire at Auburn matters more than who left in the portal, Texas's need for hard-hat glue guys to pair with its sports cars, and whether Lane Kiffin's LSU rebuild can actually cohere in year one.We also discuss the loss of program continuity in the transfer portal era, the new nine-game SEC schedule as a gauntlet-within-a-gauntlet, and a big wave of defensive coordinator turnover that could make September interesting.Support the show!: https://www.patreon.com/solidverbalSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The Auburn Tigers held their Spring Game Saturday, the scoring system was a bit confusing but, ultimately, the story was how the offense of new Auburn Football head coach Alex Goelsh looked. South Florida transfer QB Byrum Brown didn't have his best day, that was according to his own coach. Tristian Ti'a is the back-up and had the best day of the QBs, showing he may be a capable back-up.
