Auburn has the same problem as Florida. They will fire successful coaches because they don't win enough of what they consider "big games". I emphasize that because it seems like that goal posts moves for those two fan bases to fit their narrative of why they fire the coach.
Malzahn at Auburn- 2 SECCG appearances, 1 SEC championship, 1 National Championship appearance, 3 wins over Saban(most of any coach in the country at that time)
Mullen at Florida- 1 SECG appearance, 3 NY6 bowls, 2 10+ win seasons
Freeze will get it rolling at Auburn if they give him time, I mean he recruited the number 10 class last year and has the number 5 class this year. I just do not believe they will give him time.

The problem is that without a QB, it means nothing. Throw in the fact that HS recruiting success means so little if they end up leaving after a year or two because they aren't getting enough playing time.
They are all in on getting the kid from Lucedale, and he is awesome, but i don't expect a freshman to walk into the SEC and win 9 games in the SEC. Does Freeze really get 4 years if they go 7-5 this year and maybe go 8-4 in 2025? I'm being generous with 7-5 too. Looking at their schedule that should be more than doable, but who knows after losing to Cal.

He doesn't. I do not understand him not going after a QB in the portal. I mean Will Rogers was available and they didn't even try to go get him. I find this strange if they were the ones who were working so hard to get him in the 22-23 offseason like it was suggested by his father. Even then, I still do not see how they did not land a starting caliber transfer. They have the money, Jimmy Raine is bankrolling everything over there.

Freeze wanted to spend the money on HS recruits. He spent heavy on HS DL and WR. The Walker White kid cost a bunch too. He thought he could 'fix' Thorne.
Freeze's strategy was to build through elite HS recruits like he did in oxford. Problem is that it took time there, they won 7, 8, 9 games in three consecutive years. You don't get that much time now. If he goes 7-5, he will be on the extreme hot seat, which normally means the NIL dollars start to dry up. Just ask Napier last year coming down the stretch at signing day.

Good news for them is that the NIL won't dry up. Maybe it does from your $50-$100 fans but Jimmy Raine is bankrolling them and he basically handpicked Hugh. He just told Cohen who to hire. Cohen did not make that hire.

Will does not fit in Freeze's offense.

I know. Which is why I have ALWAYS called BS on that message spread by his dad that Auburn was coming after him. He couldn't run Hugh's offense. That offense needs a mobile QB who can take shots. Will has concrete in his cleats and maxes out at about 35 yds of in air passing. And that was good for the Leach offense.

The fact that AU didn't put a godfather offer in front of Cam Ward is still very bizarre.
He is the difference between 7 wins and 9-10 wins for that team.
Miami is a playoff team with him.

Gus should have been our coach after Moorhead and definitely after Leach passed but we had to get revenge and Keenum set us back 20 years. Gus is a good one

I doubt Cohen has any involvement in football or basketball at the barn, except to be the fall guy.

Only in the Leach offense.

I guess Ward wasn't interested.

Still Wyatt’s minister of information any time Will needs defending huh? Why don’t you go hang out on the Washington boards when they get good and ready to send him to the bench?

Or I could be like you and spend my entire day going thru every thread to argue

Boy, Chris Jones loved him some Hugh Freeze. He was singing his praises Monday night talking to Peyton and Eli. Thank goodness for Mama Jones or Chris would have definitely gone to OM to worship at the House of Freeze.
