Why Auburn Football Keeps Losing Close Games | Auburn Football Podcast
Podcast: The Auburn ExpressPublished On: Thu Jan 22 2026
Description: Auburn football fans need to hear this conversation because it cuts through the noise and gets straight to the real issue holding the program back. This episode dives into why Indiana’s national championship run matters to Auburn and why the blueprint that worked there is more relevant than chasing star quarterbacks or splashy recruiting rankings. Indiana didn’t win because of a savior quarterback alone. They won because of a cultural reset that demanded accountability at every level of the program. That same conversation is now happening around Auburn football as Alex Golesh steps in with a philosophy built on identity, standards, and consistency. The idea is simple but powerful. Be who you say you are. Practice like it. Prepare like it. Live it daily. Auburn has had talent. Auburn has had top ten recruiting classes. What Auburn has not had is the ability to finish games. Too many losses came down to the same story. Close late. Door open. No one able to shut it. This breakdown explains why that keeps happening and why it has nothing to do with roster resets or quarterback excuses. The discussion also touches on why chasing perfect quarterbacks instead of building systems has crippled Auburn’s offense in recent seasons. Indiana proved you can win big by building the trenches first, developing depth, and demanding buy in from everyone involved. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
