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.
