Auburn Athletic Director John Cohen is under the microscope as criticism continues to swirl around the direction of Auburn athletics. But how fair is that criticism really? In this episode, we take a closer look at the decisions Cohen has made, the pressure that comes with leading a powerhouse program, and whether fans and media might be judging too quickly. We also explore the big “what if” that could change the entire narrative: new Auburn football head coach Alex Golesh. If Golesh proves to be the right hire and finds success on the field, the same moves being questioned today could suddenly look like strategic brilliance. Could Cohen go from being criticized to being called a genius? Join us as we break down the expectations, the risks, and the potential payoff for Auburn football and the future of the program.

Auburn hasn't been getting blown out — they've been breaking hearts. Over the past few seasons, the Tigers have lived in the margins: one-score losses, fourth-quarter collapses, and that all-too-familiar feeling of “here we go again.” So what will it actually take to change that? In this episode, we dig into whether Auburn's struggles are about talent, execution, leadership — or something deeper. Can Alex Golesh rebuild belief inside a locker room that's gotten used to close losses? How do you fix late-game decision-making, mental toughness, and a culture that expects something to go wrong? We break down the psychology of finishing, the roster realities, what must change schematically, and the traits Golesh must instill to turn “almost” into wins. Learn more about your ad choices.
