  • Prove It: John Cohen, the "Everything School," and the Stake for Auburn Football

    Prove It: John Cohen, the "Everything School," and the Stake for Auburn Football
    2026/05/08
    Is John Cohen truly the right man to lead Auburn Athletics, or is he merely trying to turn the Plains into "Mississippi State East"? On this edition of the Midweek Report, the crew dives deep into the growing discontentment among the Auburn faithful regarding their Athletic Director. While Cohen has proven himself a savvy businessman—securing high-profile international soccer matches and upgrading Jordan-Hare Stadium into a premier multi-use venue—the results on the field tell a more complicated story. We break down the "chinks in the armor," from the controversial dismissal of Johnny Harris in women's basketball to the struggles in gymnastics and softball. In this episode, we discuss: The "Zero Resources" Dilemma: Why firing successful coaches while under-investing in their programs is a recipe for fan frustration. Business vs. Tradition: Analyzing the move of the Baylor game to Atlanta and whether the economic impact of "Super Bowl-level" events justifies losing home-field tradition. The Football Ultimatum: Why, regardless of stadium renovations or revenue shares, John Cohen’s legacy—and his job—ultimately hinges on the success of his football head coaching hire. Auburn claims to be an "everything school," but is it supporting "everything" equally? Turn us up and join the conversation as we evaluate if this is a "prove-it" year for the man at the top.

  • Alex Golesh Isn’t Backing | Down Byrum Brown and Alex Golesh vs Alabama | Auburn Football Podcast

    Alex Golesh Isn’t Backing | Down Byrum Brown and Alex Golesh vs Alabama | Auburn Football Podcast
    2026/05/07
    Alex Golesh made it clear during recent media appearances that Auburn football is entering a completely new era, and not everybody is buying in just yet. On today’s Auburn Express, the conversation dives into why Golesh continues distancing himself from Auburn’s recent failures and why that mentality could actually be exactly what this program needs heading into 2026. There has been a lot of discussion surrounding Golesh’s past matchups against Alabama while at USF, especially with Byrum Brown now expected to lead Auburn’s offense. But does any of that really matter once the Iron Bowl arrives? This episode breaks down why previous losses can actually become valuable lessons and how Auburn’s upgraded roster could completely change the equation this season. The show also takes a deeper look at something Auburn fans have been desperate to see for years: player development. One of the biggest criticisms during the previous coaching regime was the lack of offensive growth despite improved recruiting classes and transfer portal additions. That’s where the expectations for Alex Golesh become very clear. Auburn does not just need talent acquisition anymore. Auburn needs players to actually improve week after week and year after year. There is also discussion about why coaches must evolve just like players do. Golesh openly acknowledging that he has not accomplished anything at Auburn yet may actually be one of the strongest signs that he understands what this job truly requires. Auburn fans have heard promises before, but this situation feels different because of the willingness to adapt and grow. If Auburn finally gets consistent quarterback play, offensive development, and a staff willing to evolve, this program could look completely different much sooner than many expect.

  • Auburn’s Next Recruiting Avalanche Is Coming | Auburn Football Podcast

    Auburn’s Next Recruiting Avalanche Is Coming | Auburn Football Podcast
    2026/05/06
    Auburn football recruiting is starting to heat up and this conversation dives deep into why the current trajectory under Alex Golesh may actually be ahead of schedule compared to what Hugh Freeze inherited during his first recruiting cycle on the Plains. Mike Gittens and Kyle Rush break down Auburn’s recruiting momentum, the importance of portal additions, and why fans may be overreacting to the current number of commitments in the 2027 recruiting class. The discussion compares Hugh Freeze’s highly praised 2024 recruiting class featuring names like Cam Coleman, Perry Thompson, Demarcus Riddick, Malcolm Simmons, Bryce Cain, Jamonta Waller, and Walker White against what Alex Golesh has managed to accomplish in a much shorter amount of time. There is also a closer look at key Auburn commits including Myson Johnson Cook, Donovan Moore, Brian Eno Door, and George Lamons Jr as Auburn continues to battle for elite SEC talent. Kyle Rush explains why Auburn fans should focus less on total commitments in May and more on how Auburn traditionally builds momentum during the summer official visit season and Big Cat Weekend. The conversation also covers Auburn’s transfer portal strategy, comparing past additions like Payton Thorne, Rivaldo Fairweather, and Keionte Scott to the current roster construction approach under Alex Golesh. Could Auburn football be setting up another recruiting avalanche? Is this current staff positioned to develop talent better than the previous regime? And which recruit could become the next domino to fall for the Tigers? Drop your thoughts in the comments and let us know how confident you are in Auburn’s recruiting future.

  • Is Auburn settling for being "3-Star U"?

    Is Auburn settling for being "3-Star U"?
    2026/05/05
    Auburn Football has officially landed its first wide receiver commit for the 2027 class: Brylan Oduor out of Riverdale High (TN). But while the coaching staff is celebrating a "massive traits" win, a vocal section of the fanbase is asking a tougher question: is Auburn settling for 3-star recruits? In this episode of The War Rapport, we break down why the "3-Star U" narrative might be missing the bigger picture of Hugh Freeze’s recruiting strategy. We dive deep into Oduor’s elite measurables, including his 11.02 track speed, and discuss why the staff views him as the long-term successor to the "big-bodied X" role currently held by USF transfer Jeremiah Koger. In the first half of today’s show, we discuss: The Brylan Oduor Breakdown: Why his 20.2 yards-per-catch average and multi-sport background make him a "diamond in the rough" evaluation. Recruiting Momentum: How Auburn is capitalizing on A-Day energy to build a foundation for the 2027 class. The 3-Star Debate: Are these "high-level evals" or a sign that Auburn is struggling to land 5-star talent? We look at the data vs. the perception. WR Succession Planning: How Oduor fits into a room that will soon lose veterans like Singleton and Jeremiah Koger. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • Has Auburn Found A Gem in Brylan Odour? | Auburn Football Podcast

    Has Auburn Found A Gem in Brylan Odour? | Auburn Football Podcast
    2026/05/04
    Auburn football recruiting continues to build momentum as the Tigers land another wide receiver in the 2027 class. In this episode, the focus is on the newest commit, Brylan Odour, a 6’2”, 205-pound playmaker out of Tennessee who brings size, physicality, and surprising speed to the position. This breakdown dives into what Auburn is doing differently under Alex Golesh and why the coaching staff is prioritizing big-bodied receivers who can win on the outside. There is a clear emphasis on catch radius, physical blocking, and the ability to high-point the football. That profile continues to show up across the recruiting board. The conversation also explores how Auburn is evaluating talent differently. Rather than chasing only the obvious top-tier names, this staff is identifying players early who have the traits to rise in the rankings. With several receivers already showing development this spring, there is growing confidence in the coaching staff’s ability to find and develop talent. Learn more about your ad choices.
