This candidate could only be Hugo Freeze.

But we wouldn't be that concerned really because he got lucky in '14 and cheated big time for '15 to happen.

Meyer would never come to a program to be 2nd fiddle in the state of Alabama and 2nd fiddle to Nick Saban.

There is no one else who Auburn could hire who would beat Saban once during their tenure.

These are the facts.

Freeze would be annoying because he would be able to recruit skill players in state that we're after and steal 1-2 per cycle.

I'm not sure that he could ever pull better talent at Auburn than he had at Ole Miss though, and we know how he was able to do that. He was getting 5 star players from Illinois and Georgia to go to Ole Miss

Did you not see Freeze’s last year at OM? And what he left Luke with? And his coordinators he hired? Freeze was good for 3 years the his ego destroyed him.

Matt Campbell wouldn't win the press conference like Freeze. But for longer lasting, solid results; he's the one who would concern me.

Lol. What has Freeze actually won as a HC? Cristobal and Napier are better

Freeze left OM in shambles.

saban made his arse quit across state lines, zero percent chance Meyer would put himself in that situation. He'd have an esophageal spasm just thinking about it

No coach would concern me at Auburn. They are who they are. The little step brother in this state, always have been, always will be.

Maybe. He was 2-3 versus Saban using a type of offense that gave Alabama trouble no matter who ran it. Things have changed since then. He’d be a pain in the arse recruiting against but I don’t think that offense is as unique and difficult to defend as it was in 2012-2015.

Freeze lost 5 games a year at OM on average. He is the HC equivalent to Johnny Manziel. Their entire hype is/was based off beating Alabama.

Not so sure. The HUNH rule changes that impacts Gustavo's O would have the same impact on Freezus.

Pretty sure the only hire that would concern us is if Saban went there. IDGAF about anyone else. Saban is going kick everybody's arse until he decides to hang it up.

Please explain to me how he cheated? By paying guys like Metcalf and Brown to go to Ole Miss. You mean the same thing that Saban does at Bama? Instead of Chargers, he just bought them a shite load of strippers.

How many total turnovers in those two wins against Bama? I think 5 in one game. Not sold on Freeze being a giant killer.

Granted, Freeze convinced some really good players to sign at ole miss. Some of whom had never set foot in campus.

Pearl will need to share some of his burner phones with Freeze.

Yeah we got caught doing what every other team does. However, you Bammers should beat us even if we had cheated. No way we can cheat enough to fill out a roster of 5 stars like Bama always has and will have. 2015 was just like 2014, Saban got his arse out coached with inferior talent on his home field. It almost happened again in 2016. Yeah I agree with you...Bama should be VERY concerned if Hugh winds up at Auburn.

You mean the guy who beat Bama twice and still couldn't win the West?

Freeze whored out himself, his program, players, and literal whores while at Ole Miss and left the program in a state of disaster.

I hope he goes to Auburn.

I agree. I think freeze would be a great hire for auburn, and he would fit in there perfectly. He has ties to the sec and our recruiting footprint, he has proven to be a successful head coach in the conference already, at ole miss too, which is much tougher to win at that auburn would be. Granted, he did chest his arse off and didn't even win the division title at ole miss, but he proved he can build a program and be successful with less than everybody else he has to compete with. His tenure of success at liberty only further strengthens his ability to build a successful program at a place where he is at a big disadvantage compared to everyone else he has to compete against. That's who I would want if I was an auburn fan, and it's not even close. Mario cristobal is shite and I don't think he would be much of a difference from gus honestly. They need to go after freeze before someone else lands him.
