The Up Tempo Podcast

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. #auburnfootball #alexgolesh #auburntigers 🎙️ New to streaming or looking to level up?

Auburn’s roster is going to look very different next season—and that’s not something to fear. In this episode, we break down why roster turnover is part of the modern game, what these changes mean for the future of the program, and why Auburn fans shouldn’t panic. From departures to new opportunities, we discuss how change can actually set Auburn up for success and why a fresh look doesn’t mean lowered expectations. #auburnfootball #americanfootball #alexgolesh

Alex Golesh has the mindset that Auburn has been waiting for!

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. #auburnfootball #auburntigers #alexgolesh 🎙️ New to streaming or looking to level up?

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. #auburnfootball #collegefootball #alexgolesh #deuceknight
