How Auburn athletics will be affected by president Steven Leath's departure

Steven Leath is out after only two years as Auburn University's president. Why does it matter to the athletics department? The domino effect. Auburn administrators and coaches will be affected by the board of trustees' decision to kick Leath to the curb with a press release just before 10 p.m. on Friday. Jay Gogue, the former Auburn president, is back in office as the interim president. Will the micromanaging of the Auburn athletics department cease with Leath's departure? Will athletics director Allen Greene be allowed to finally operate without someone constantly breathing down his neck from Samford Hall? Oh, and there's the entire power structure of the board of trustees to discuss, particularly those who were aligned with Leath before his ouster by the board. What does it mean for football coach Gus Malzahn, whose seven-year, $49 million deal isn't popular with a lot of folks after it was negotiated and handled by Leath and board member Raymond Harbert, who seemingly has lost his voice in the fallout of this incredible soap opera.Brandon Marcello, Phillip Marshall and Ronnie Sanders discuss all of that and more as they make sense of the back-stage drama and what it means for the future of the university and Auburn athletics.====  Subscribe to the AUC podcast  Apple podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/auburn-undercover/id1275945112  Google Play: https://play.google.com/music/listen?u=0#/ps/Ihowikmdrvwfpeyutty4dsi6ece  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1kYwLo42rJ7pf65dfqub7N?si=KwbAXlQzSxSPbnlsm5uccA  TuneIn: https://tunein.com/radio/Auburn-Undercover-p1025107/  Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=330881&refid=stpr  Overcast: https://overcast.fm/itunes1275945112/the-auburn-undercover-podcast  Pocket Casts: http://pca.st/0G5S  ====  Subscribe to Auburn247: https://secure.247sports.com/UserSubscription/New/?promo=FSTOC&skey=5  ====
