Obviously that Auburn creed is a farce
Auburn football: Reporter rips AU for not commenting on Hugh Freeze-coached player’s charges
by Andrew Hughes22h ago
Auburn football head coach Hugh Freeze has many skeletons in his closet from his past at Briarcrest Christian in Memphis, Ole Miss, and Liberty — some of which have come to life and made the hiring process to get him onto the Plains a PR nightmare.
There was one controversy that largely went unnoticed until January 27, the day of a court appearance for Liberty tight end Jerome Jackson. Jackson was accused of stalking an ex-girlfriend that worked in the Flames athletic department.
Inside Higher Ed reporter Josh Moody pushed the story into focus Friday morning when he ripped Auburn University over several tweets for not commenting on the matter after he reached out:
Former Liberty University football player Jerome Jackson will be in a Lynchburg court today on stalking charges that were filed during the 2022 season. He missed no playing time under Coach Hugh Freeze.
Neither @LibertyU or @AuburnU will talk about it.
I reached out to Liberty to ask if they were aware Jackson had been charged with stalking and if LU took any disciplinary action. Liberty won’t answer. But Jackson played in every game of the 2022 season: (https://t.co/KQOVEnepTm)

I also reached out to Auburn to ask if they were aware of this stalking charge and if Freeze’s handling of the matter was considered in their vetting process. But Auburn is unwilling to answer my questions about Freeze or its vetting process.
Critics of the Liberty football program and of Hugh Freeze have also tried to initiate conversations about incidents at Liberty under Freeze’s leadership. But Auburn is unwilling to have those conversations.

Jackson is getting his day in court. He is presumed innocent until proven guilty, of course. But the incident raises a lot of hard questions about Hugh Freeze, Liberty, and Auburn. Questions no one will answer.
Notably, though, the ruling went in Jackson’s favor. Questions about what Freeze ignored about his player’s conduct for the sake of competition at Liberty will most certainly linger still, though, due to his notorious DMs with a sexual assault victim at LU.
What would make Hugh Freeze a public enemy of Auburn football
Hugh Freeze has earned himself a great deal of goodwill from his recruiting success, but his past risky behaviors need to be tabled if he wants to avoid being a public enemy of Auburn football fans.
AU is offering redemption to Freeze. If he blows it and exhibits any behaviors that justify the backlash to his hiring in November, he’ll lose plenty of Tiger fans that take the Auburn Creed seriously.

Meh. Winning creates a lot of forgiveness.

The Auburn creed is as useful as NCAA bylaws in Tuscaloosa or a donation to a children’s hospital in Louisiana

Thank you for telling us the obvious

This is just the Georgia-friendly press trying to create a distraction from the scandal going on under Kirby Smart's watch.
Imagine a reporter losing their sh*t over an allegation that was proven to be false in court at a small independent college, while ignoring the dead bodies are piling up after the university hostesses take players to the strip club at an SEC school just an hour away.

All 3 are unapologetically who they are at this point.

So the player was found not guilty?

Let he without sin caste the first stone.
Leave Hugh alone. The past is past.

Lol, this is a bunch of bullshite if you have any experience with relationships, breakups, cell phones and social media, and the universe of behaviors that can be labeled “stalking” in a city/justice court affidavit.

Lol. Who gives a shite in the era of full-retards being admitted to college to play sports and get paid for it? What do you expect to happen? Nobel Prizes?

Also, let me know when Freeze has a player arrested for capital murder, not a player who was acquitted of some BS charge.

What questions should Auburn have to answer about someone not found guilty?
Posted on 1/29/23 at 1:33 pm to C W
Look I hate auburn as much as the next dawg, but op says the player was found innocent so what's the gripe??

The Briarcrest stuff has no evidence other than a few women on Facebook posting #MeToo type shite on Facebook when he got fired from Ole Miss
