Hank has this weird 3/4 release. He needs to work on that before he plays any significant snaps.

Was ready for dismality; but got caught up in imaginary OL magic and pixie dust. Hugh appears to as well.


Oh and eleven... that's a decade worth of wins and still not breaking even.

Gus definitely had talent in 2013.

Tuberville and Freeze I think inherited similarly depleted teams, perhaps Tubs had a slightly better roster but Hugh has had the advantage of the transfer portal. Things were bad in 98, Bowden’s recruiting was bad and the scheme he recruited for was ill suited to Tubs scheme.


Tubs had Ben Leard, arguably the most underrated QB in AU history.

Freeze has PT, and the only woulda coulda shoulda in the portal was a guy we just couldn't afford.

Gus got a QB, or that team would’ve been shite again. History proves that Auburn needs good QB play to compete. Yet some on here were giddy that the triple pump chump was going to be the QB again this year. Some of us knew it was going to be the disaster it has been.


It was much more than a QB. That 2012 team straight up quit - look at the ATM, UGA and bammer scores.

This thread was needed. We need more fire the staff, the QB is trash type threads.

I’m as disappointed as any fan but the staff and most of the players have been here less than 2 years. Give the team some time. In year 4 I will judge how Freeze has done.

Other than he is recruiting well, what have you seen out of this coach that makes you so confident? Was it the one 10 win season at Ole Miss where they blew games they shouldn’t have and did not even make ATL? Was it those last two killer 8-5 seasons at Liberty? Has it been the moral victories here at Auburn where golly gee we had a lead after 3 quarters?

Did he have that release when Hugh Freeze offered him a Liberty skoly then, subsequently, an Auburn skolly?

Yes we stole him from Liberty. He was still a clear upgrade to Caddie's QB commit.

So he has the guy HE signed from the portal?

And the same guy who HE chose to ride-or-die with in Year 2?

Stop being so dramatic.

NOBODY in power at Auburn, in the AD, or on the coaching staff is reading this shite, Drama Queen.

BeatBammer... So edgy and hip with the hyperbole. You could write clickbait titles for the bleeding rag magazine.

If Hugh isnt your coach then Auburn isnt your team.

Tell me some more of the valor of that historically great 5-6 team.

Freeze and his excuses are bullshite. He got a pass last year because Harsin left a dumpster fire behind. I started feeling pretty pessimistic after the abortion of a bowl game we had against Maryland. After the game, Freeze said something along the lines of “wasn’t involved in game planning, was too busy out recruiting”. Fast forward to the offseason and people were shouting from the rooftops that we needed a transfer QB. Instead, we put all our eggs in the WR basket and settled for a Motley Crue of average at best QBs. Game day preparation and play calling has been atrocious from the start. Even with recruiting on the upswing, our program still seems to be spiraling.

Do yall realize we are on track for a fourth straight losing season??? That should never ever happen at Auburn; not even Kentucky or Mississippi State does that anymore.

Yeah I’m being dramatic when the board has been melting down for weeks.

We don’t need to be firing coaches every 2 years… period
