Whore eagle
November 28th, 2022 at 4:26 PM ^
Tbh I'm glad to not hear his name for now at every single HC opening.
November 28th, 2022 at 4:26 PM ^
College football sure can be gross sometimes.
November 28th, 2022 at 4:28 PM ^
Some days I swear Auburn exists to make A&M feel better about our tire fire.
November 28th, 2022 at 5:05 PM ^
Was going through my image folder and found this portrait of Jimbo (which I adapted for Mel Tucker)
November 28th, 2022 at 4:28 PM ^
LOL, he wasn't even a good coach he was just a prolific cheater...but with NLI, good luck with that strategy.
November 28th, 2022 at 5:33 PM ^
Don't believe Freeze was cheating at Arkansas State.
November 28th, 2022 at 5:34 PM ^
He's 34-15 at Liberty, which was an FCS school until a year before he got there. I'd say that's pretty good. He was also 10-2 at Arkansas State. Yes, there was cheating at Ole Miss, but he still put teams on the field that were scoring a bunch of points and being a thorn in Alabama's side.
It's not like Auburn is in position to hire cream-of-the-crop coaches.
November 28th, 2022 at 6:30 PM ^
Liberty might have been an FCS school but they spent like an FBS program because of Falwell's involvement in trying to sportswash his school and its image a bit. He had a decided talent and recruiting advantage against most of the teams they played as an independent.
And Ark St. was a good season but that happened over a decade ago. He's mostly lived off a couple of years at Ole Miss where he beat Alabama with a no-longer-novel offensive approach and recruiting violations egregious enough that the NCAA actually punished him.
You can get the on-field success of Freeze from a dozen places without taking on the massive baggage that comes with the man.
November 29th, 2022 at 12:10 AM ^
Sportswash is the word I didn’t know I needed and now will be using every day.
November 28th, 2022 at 4:29 PM ^
Gross.
November 28th, 2022 at 4:31 PM ^
Seems like they nailed the cultural fit.
November 28th, 2022 at 4:38 PM ^
That's a BINGO!!
November 28th, 2022 at 4:33 PM ^
It's pretty clear that his moral compass was righted by Falwell Jr. whilst employed by Liberty U.
/Reads up on Falwell Jr./
Update your cell phone contacts, Mr. Freeze. Time to move the party down south again!
November 28th, 2022 at 5:14 PM ^
Remember when Liberty hired Baylor's ex-AD who was in charge when many of the Baylor players were raping lots of people. You can either take that as them being massive hypocrits or as Christian forgiveness. Forgot about Hugh Freeze.
November 28th, 2022 at 4:33 PM ^
Embarrassing. Don't usually actively root against a guy, but I hope he fails miserably.
November 28th, 2022 at 5:05 PM ^
Geez swn...you're a spoilsport. I mean, a guy has escorts on speed dial on a university cell phone then lies about it. Forget any moral dimension, this is an intelligence shortcoming. I rooting for maximum entertainment value. Think the good ole money boyz on the Plains know what they're doing? Hah!
November 28th, 2022 at 5:21 PM ^
Robbie... "intelligence shortcoming"... Touche! What a wonderful phrase...
November 28th, 2022 at 4:34 PM ^
Hugh got to be kiddin'.....
November 28th, 2022 at 4:56 PM ^
Surely, you can’t be serious.
November 28th, 2022 at 4:38 PM ^
man... that is probably a perfect marriage - just like ole miss and lane kiffin.
School and ethics.. not important at either. Go gettem
November 28th, 2022 at 4:40 PM ^
They must have female escort services in Alabama. No need to call Detroit this time.
November 28th, 2022 at 4:42 PM ^
Sounds like a plan, Auburn. Good luck with that.
November 28th, 2022 at 4:46 PM ^
i would rather my team going 0-12 than having this guy as the HC.
November 28th, 2022 at 4:47 PM ^
What a dumb hire. Id be so pissed if I was an Auburn fan
November 28th, 2022 at 4:48 PM ^
Really, Auburn? Really?
November 28th, 2022 at 4:54 PM ^
Why does the NCAA allow these clowns to coach again?
November 28th, 2022 at 4:59 PM ^
What Urban Meyer did was worse, and he was allowed to continue coaching. Flat out SICKENS me.
November 28th, 2022 at 5:06 PM ^
Lets hope this Florida Gators documentary puts an end to Urban as a HC....
November 28th, 2022 at 5:30 PM ^
Oh, Hugh's got that too - Liberty's getting sued by women for allegedly burying sex assaults and Freeze slid into the DMs of one of the victims to complain. That happened this past summer!
And let's not forget the allegations that he forced girls to change in front of him at the high school he was at before he was at Ole Miss.
November 28th, 2022 at 5:38 PM ^
Harassing sexual assault victims is a point in the pro-column at Liberty. I don't know about Auburn, but their fans I've seen aren't too happy.
November 28th, 2022 at 4:58 PM ^
Well damn
November 28th, 2022 at 5:00 PM ^
Auburn should've gone with Deon Sanders. If Deon failed at least it would be fun, Hugh Freeze is so slimy even if he wins it will be gross.
November 28th, 2022 at 5:09 PM ^
Time to buy stock in burner phones...
November 28th, 2022 at 5:14 PM ^
His recruiting pitch to parents: "Our program is the only one that can meet your son's spiritual and *ahem* other needs."
November 28th, 2022 at 5:51 PM ^
They must've been impressed with his final performance at Liberty against their feared arch rivals New Mexico State. Liberty was favored by 24 points, which is 4 scores, but ended up losing by 35, which happens to be 5 scores. A coach whose team plays 59 points worse than expectation against an opponent that had been 4-6 before the game started is exactly the kind of coach Auburn University deserves.
November 28th, 2022 at 5:56 PM ^
Yikes. Still gonna get worked in that division though.
November 28th, 2022 at 5:58 PM ^
What is wrong with those people. This is atrocious.
November 28th, 2022 at 6:11 PM ^
At least the buyout won’t matter because I’m sure they’ll be firing him for cause within 5 years
November 28th, 2022 at 6:24 PM ^
Ugh. Glad I am not an Auburn fan or alum. I would rather have literally anyone else who is still an active football coach. Freeze is amoral and a complete degenerate on every level.
November 28th, 2022 at 6:24 PM ^
How has Auburn fallen so low they're taking a guy who Ole Miss(!) fired for being too much of a creep.
Anyway, he's an awful person who apparently Christianwashed his MANY transgressions by being an okay coach at Liberty and now he's back in the SEC, where he'll likely go 8-4/7-5 for a couple of years and get ethered by Alabama and/or Georgia on the regular.
November 28th, 2022 at 9:23 PM ^
The SEC doesn’t care surprised they didn’t call Urban.
November 28th, 2022 at 9:29 PM ^
Hugh Freeze 101 for those who don't know.
Grade A scumbag.
