A friend of mine that's an auburn grad, (low level) booster, etc... says Freeze has been really frustrated this year. He's not able to do what he wants on offense because of the lack of talent... and the transfers didn't pan out like he'd hoped. To compound it though, he's had issues with the staff on both sides of the ball that he's had to navigate while doing all the heavy lifting in recruiting. Supposedly, last week's issues were not because they spent time on Bama all week... it was because Freeze was all in on recruiting and put too much faith in his offensive staff again to get the job done.
Also, Bama fans should expect him to make another (stronger) run at Travaris Robinson this January... he doesn't just want him on the staff, he needs him. Badly.
