📡 Auburn hires Hugh Freeze

[Scrape&Search1032]

As others have said, he was a 100% stone cold lock to be retained. And lucky for him it was Freeze and not Kiffin who got the job, because Kiffin would have likely gotten tired of him quickly.



He won't have to in this case, Freeze will happily keep them in the loop. That's one reason they pushed for him (and guys like Steele in the past).



Sallee seems like a decent guy, but he is absolutely terrible at his job. He would be much better served working for an auburn recruiting site like rivals or 247 where he could just cover them and fanboy out without even trying to hide it. If all else was equal, his constant ball washing of the Braves during baseball season is bad enough though....

The one thing I'll add, Dan Lanning was their #1 target (at least he was Cohen's #1). Lanning turned them down with a quickness, privately and publicly (sort of), and then attention turned quickly to Kiffin.

Glad Lanning turned them down, he'll probably get a better HC job than Auburn is right now, soong as keeps winning. And he should. And off topic but, have you by chance seen how a tiebreaker works in the Pac-12? I read it a couple of days ago and my brain almost exploded.

I haven't. Half the time I forget the Pac-12 even exists.

Probably a good thing. It's one of the most convoluted things I've read in a while.

It’s taken much longer than it should have (mostly because Alabama has become the Evil Empire with Saban and shares the state with them) but the worm is turning on how the average fan views auburn. Been seeing a lot of this type of thing the last couple of days…

The Fambly aka cult being who they are. They are also better than the rest of us because they forgive and show grace.

With that said I expect Freeze will do a good job. He will still not get them to an elite level but they will improve. Freeze will get them to 5-3 maybe 6-2 sec type records. Probabyly win 9 maybe even 10 games. It will be an improvement but still mediocre.
