Sports Talk 790 (Houston) and SEC Unfiltered host Cole Thompson

The War Rapport's Mike Gittens

On this edition of The Phillip Jordan Show, Phillip is joined by Mike Gittens of The War Rapport to break down the new era of Auburn football under head coach Alex Golesh. The conversation starts at the most important position on the field — quarterback — as they discuss transfer portal addition Byrum Brown and why he could be the catalyst for Auburn’s offensive turnaround. Mike explains what makes Brown such a pivotal piece and how his arrival signals a shift in philosophy for the Tigers. Phillip and Mike also take a hard look at Auburn’s recent history at quarterback, why consistency has been elusive, and what must change moving forward. Plus, they dive into Auburn basketball and why patience may be required with head coach Steven Pearl as the program looks to find stability and long-term direction. It’s a big-picture conversation about where Auburn stands — and where it’s headed — in both foot

On this episode of The Phillip Jordan Show, Phillip opens the show with an important announcement about the future direction of the podcast — shifting to a stronger Auburn focus while still keeping conversations centered on the SEC and the national sports landscape. Phillip then dives into Auburn basketball’s 91–79 loss to Oklahoma — the Tigers’ sixth loss in their last seven games — and what it means for their NCAA Tournament hopes. With Auburn now squarely on the bubble, Phillip questions whether Steven Pearl is ready to be a head coach and examines whether Bruce Pearl set him up to succeed by returning just one key player in Tahaad Pettiford — who has struggled shooting this season — while navigating one of the toughest schedules in college basketball. Later in the show, Cole Thompson of Sports Talk 790 in Houston and SEC Unfiltered joins Phillip for a wide-ranging conversation. They discuss radio vs. podcasting, Auburn football under new head coach Alex Golesh, the pressure mounting on Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer, and who could emerge as contenders in the 2026 SEC football race. A loaded episode covering Auburn hoops, SEC football, and the evolving sports media landscape.
