Per ESPN Auburn Has Hired Freeze

[lilesrt]

May 2022 Auburn: We'll leak rumors of alleged infidelities about our actual coach so we can run him out of town.

November 2022 Auburn: We'll hire a man who cheated at football and cheated on his wife so we can be winners.

Were the escorts for him or his players?

Him

 

[SayUWantAreVOLution]

Good question, KS transferred once already..... I thought there is/was a limit but IDK.

I don't keep up with the portal rules and it's possible Salter never was an SEC QB, given that Pruitt had a sketchy QB recruiting record.

 

[SayUWantAreVOLution]

Things just got tougher for Saban. I think we can all appreciate this.....

Freeze gets a Natty at the Barn

He'll have to go through Josh Heupel if he wants that Natty. GBO.

His stats are rather pedestrian IMHO.... against mediocre opponents. Wish KS the best whatever he decides to do.

he was 'cruitin' the escorts to be his Ole Miss's

 

[GVF]

Auburn didn’t make the decision to hire freeze. That lone booster cowboy made that call. Freeze answers to him only outside the public eye.

 

[volfanhill]

I don't see why everyone thinks is a great hire. He was cheating his ass off at Ole Miss. Had to vacate those wins. NIL will prevent him from even having an upper hand there. He is a good play caller. He's Kiffen with more baggage. I would have been much more impressed if they hired many others

 

[VolunteerHillbilly]

Freeze was hired becuase he’s turned around every college program he worked for in terms on on field results. Lambuth, Arky State, Ole Miss and Liberty. All were shite before he arrived and all won with him. Even if you discount what he did at Ole Miss due to the violations, he’s still 3-0 on rebuilds.

 

[Firebirdparts]

I think that's definitely true. His big advantage was paying players, now gone. He probably is good enough as a coach, though. He's done okay at Liberty. So I guess he gets 3 years at Auburn or finds a way to send an escort to yellow hoss, in which case he gets 10.

I think he's a good enough offensive mind to overcome the competition at Liberty and Arky State. He wouldn't have been cheating his ass off if he didn't need to. Like Kiffin when he was at FAU

I’m sure he’s not on a long leash. Be interesting to see what Auburn plans to do to make this work. I fully expect them to come for Garner very soon.

I don’t think he transferred. He was dismissed from the team. There’s probably a difference, but I don’t know.

 

[kiddiedoc]

So, what does paying a coach from Liberty with a checkered past $6.5M/year do to other SEC coaches' salaries?

Some here will insist that Freeze deserves more money than Heupel because he is a "blue chip" SEC coach and because he beat Saban twice almost a decade ago. Nevermind that Heupel beat Bama this year, Freeze is "scary" for Saban.

The only salaries that concern me are the Vols. We should make sure Heupel, Garner, Golesh, and whomever Heupel feels are critical to the program are appreciated. Freeze will come after Garner and any number of programs might target Golesh.

Don't go Jimbo crazy but make Heupel secure and make Golesh and Garner tougher targets. I'd also include Elarbee, but I'm probably a little biased and believe winning the trenches is winning games.

 

[Volfan1000]

The Barn finally did something right

Freese will take Saban to the woodshed.

 

[Jeff Clark]

Freese will take Saban to the woodshed.

Imagine what he'll do if Saban retires following Alabama's bowl game

 

[EverythingOrange]

If you can win at Liberty, you can win Anywhere!

Kiffin might be “kicking” himself for Not taking that job…..

It ain’t gonna get any easier in the SEC!

Jimbo might have things going in a couple of years…..

Kelly - not sure, yet….

Saban ain’t retiring.

Kirby Smart - still enjoying his “recruiting” prowess….

Pittman: Over-rated…..

Drinkwitz: “Please”….

Beamer: Not sure, yet.

Mark Stoops: Missed the boat.

Mike Leach: Flip a Coin….

Billy Napier: “Who Cares????”

— Same record as Clark Lea at Vanderbilt this year. - Barely made a bowl game….

Heupel: So far has proven to be a WINNER!

WHAT A DAMN CONFERENCE!!!!

 

[THEONLYTENISEE]

Kiffin leveraged Auburn to get a pay raise. Pretty common. Auburn isn’t as glamorous as some think.

 

[NATHAN05]

Freeze was in the SEC before he got fired. Actually beat Saban 2 of the 4 years he was at Ole Miss........he should be fine as long as he can behave.

Auburn is probably having a harder time finding a head coach than Tennessee did in 2010,2012,2017 and 2020.

 

[feathersax]

Hugh Freeze & Bruce Pearl together on the plains of Auburn. What could go wrong?

No way

 

[rocytop2624]

Auburn and Hugh belong together.
