Auburn is finalizing a deal to hire Liberty coach Hugh Freeze, sources tell @SINow. Freeze would return to the SEC, where in 2017 Ole Miss fired him amid NCAA and personal scandal. In 12 years as a college head coach, he’s had one losing season.

Given the shite show the last week has been, that’s actually a really good hire

His team knew he was leaving. They probably quit because its Liberty and the end of the season. There is power 5 programs that played like shite who had a chance at a decent bowl.

Auburn fired Terry Bowden (47-7 record at Aub) for having consensual sex w/ a boosters wife. Now they're HIRING a coach that was caught calling hookers on his school cellphone a few years ago. What a time...

He won at Ole Miss at a level they had not seen in a while. He then made Liberty a perpetual 8 win program. Yes, Ole Miss was in the mud recruiting when he was there. But I'd bet if you ask any Auburn fans if getting in the mud means they will consistently beat Alabama they would be happy to take that trade off. And now, with the prevalence of NIL, he can recruit "above board".

The question with any coaching search is who is the best guy AVAILABLE and willing to take the job. Not who is the best coach overall. Saban wasn't leaving Alabama for Auburn. Smart wasn't going to Auburn. It doesn't seem like any "big names" were interested in leaving their current job for Auburn. So yes, maybe Auburn could have gotten a guy like a Luke Fickell given that he just left for Wisconsin. But Fickell would still be an unknown in the SEC whereas Freeze has proven he can win there.

Auburn previously hired a former successful SEC coach who had to leave his prior SEC school in disgrace, Bruce Pearl. I don't think AU fans are all that upset about the hire today.

Honestly, you are retarded.

Dude is an amazing coach. Took a laughing stock program in Ole Miss and was on his way to making them elite

Well, I suspect a booster angry at the HC for banging his wife carries a lot more clout than in a scenario where the HC was banging profession hookers.

People forgot his last year at ole miss. They sucked. He had bad roster management due to recruiting only skill players. He may can fix that with the portal now but it was a mess at the end

Freeze’s problems at ole miss:
-lack of control of the program itself (including boosters)
-inability to let things go
-taking to Twitter to pick fights with things as big as the NCAA and as small as the troll in his mentions
-always having to be the smartest guy in the room
-call girls and massage parlors

I don’t think he’s learned from any of these mistakes which could nuke him at auburn.

Look at the roster he went 5-7 with his last year and you might retract that statement. The wheels had all but fallen off. He was lucky he didn’t have to stick around to coach the abomination of a defense he left us with when Matt Luke took over. Offense was loaded and the defense was built to give up 500+ a game.
