Alex Golesh: John Cohen’s Make-or-Break Hire

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. 🏈🎙️ Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
