📡 Auburn hires Hugh Freeze

[rammerjammer]

I'd cream my pants if we got Coach Davis back.

You do know, he is the DL coach at Texas?

I would imagine Saban could get him back. And I agree, would love to get him back.

Bama self-destructed in both of them. Kick off fumbles in both games and I also believe end zone INT in both.

This but do not let facts get in the way. Freeze got this job for 2 reasons - Win #1 and Win #2 of Saban. Bama lives rent free in their minds. If they would step back and look at the reality of it Freeze is likely a good coach but not great. I do think he was probably the best option for the cult.

I'm aware of that, yes sir. I don't think he'd leave his current job unless he gets fired, but I'd love to get Karl Dunbar back if we could. Guy was a great DL coach as well. I like Coach Roach, I think he'll get better. But those two guys I would bring back immediately.

I hate when people do this. Just because I'm critical of a coach. It's ok to criticize someone, just don't go overboard like having your kids tell his kids he sucks. Now that is something I can never get behind.

Yeah having your kids tell his kids he sucks is ignorant, we can agree on that.

Golding isn’t a bad coach irregardless

It's just uncalled for. And I agree he isn't that bad of a coach, but there hasn't been much improvement in his playcalling and development ability for his players. Only consistent thing he's done is recruiting, but that isn't enough. It's costed is games this season and last season. I want him to do well while he's at Alabama, but the trajectory isn't heading to where I hoped for him.

Yep and those 2 wins came right after all those 5 stars flipped near or on signing day from the top schools in the conference. The likes of Treadwell, Tinsil, and etc. I think most folks knew something was up in Oxford and the wheels would eventually fall off that wagon.

Barners a tad pissed. HAHAHAHA!!



Even pissier here:

The problem with this is that you're playing a broken record over and over to the point that it's getting quite annoying.

Understandable. However, until improvements are made, and are visible on the field.... I will continue. Just not as much.

HA!

Said this already, but this was really worst case scenario for Bama (in terms of coaches they could have legitimately hired). He comes with more baggage than the Samsonite Factory store, but he's immediately one of the top coaches in the SEC. He is an absolute perfect fit for them, their white buffalo. He will work hand in hand with the boosters and generate a higher NIL flow. Unlike Gus, who many like to compare him to, he will recruit really well, and actually develop the talent. They will have good, consistent QB play, year to year. He will buy into every single ounce of auburn fluff thrown his way, embrace it, and actually enjoy it. He's wanted this job for years, and my dude @rammerjammer called it weeks ago that he'd get it this time.

Now, all that said... it doesn't come without risk. Freeze is loyal to a fault to those in his circle and extremely naive. That combo has gotten him in trouble in the past, and could very easily do it again at pretty much any time. Also, if things ever start to go sideways for whatever reason (results on the field, pressure from media, etc.) he is very thin skinned and has a glass jaw. If pressure gets to him, and the SEC and auburn job are pressure cookers, he is likely to unravel, possibly in a spectacular fashion.

Goddamn right I did. The dude is a terrible coach. Good recruiter, that's it. How anyone can sit there and watch this team this year and not see that is an anomaly to me.

I like you.

We think alike.

 

[Scrape&Search1032]

Glad to hear it. I wish some people on here wouldn't blindly defend him.

Not blindly doing anything. As of now he’s our DC and until that changes we need to support him, it’s really that simple

And that's fine. But there are people on here that just throw up stats in people's faces in defense of Golding. I'd love nothing more than for him to succeed, but he hasn't, and the play on the field shows it. I've gone back each game this season and watched film of our defense, sometimes they play really well like in the Texas game, only to them proceed having the worst performance in Alabama history against Tennessee. Same with LSU, I physically cringe watching those games.

The funniest thing about the hire is once again the moral high ground auburn fans, the ones who walk around like Sneetches with orange and blue stars on their chests... yet again have to admit deep down that auburn is all about winning and nothing else. All the family shit, is just that, shit. Even the thicker headed ones had to come to that conclusion last year when they tried to destroy a guy's reputation, career, and family simply because he wasn't winning enough. They'd never say it out loud, but they knew it when they hired Pearl when he was dragging around aa show-cause. But he got them to the Final Four, and almost won it, so he's a true blue auburn man. Many of them didn't even know they had a softball team several years ago... but after Bama had unprecedented success, they went out and hired Clint Meyers (and his son), knowing they had serious ethical baggage. But, the man could coach. He got them into the finals of the WCWS, and they almost won the whole damn thing. All the while, his assistant coach son was sexually harassing, and in some cases banging away with some players. Papa Meyers knew. The auburn admin knew. But they were good on the field and for once, equal or better than Bama... so it was covered up. And it would have stayed that way had some players not spoken up and leaked info about it. The fire got too hot, so the Meyers clan was sent packing. Now, you've got Freeze, and once again, the holier than thou auburn fans are already making similar excuses... after all, what kind of Christian are YOU if you can't forgive the man? Hilarious to see mental gymnastics they can perform with hires like this. And in the end, they'll send Cohen out there to take the arrows. A guy who didn't even want to hire him, but was dumb enough to step into a situation where he should have known better. Now he has to eat some shit sandwiches and won't even get to make a real hire on his own until they fire the soccer coach.

He may not use his official account, but 0% chance he stays off social media more than 6 months. But LOL at auburn hiring someone that their attorneys won't allow to tweet. Amazing if true.
