Can we just stop with the Gus comparisons?

Gus flamed out in Auburn just as Tubs did.

They are BOTH much better coaches than Freeze.

Cut the crap.

I hope he is right. Sadly, I haven't seen anything yet giving me hope Freeze is the answer. He makes a lot of excuses while taking very little blame. That is a bad sign for a HC, IMO.

No worries, he threw another one under the bus in his presser today but the receiver he threw under the bus “sent out a text on the team bus that would make you wanna cry.”

Passive aggression always works when you’re the head man.

But hey, Hughey is “trying to find himself” and is seeking counseling so we’re all good!

The fragile ego will soon dissipate with counseling.

WAR DAMN EAGLE!!!!

All of y’all will be praising Freeze on signing when he signs the best class in Auburn football history. Good things are on the horizon.

Exactly. It’s almost like people didn’t hear Freeze when he was hired and said he needed 2 full recruiting classes before they could start competing. The man was honest. Now, I do think Auburn could’ve been much better this season with a portal QB, and that is my gripe with him.

Lol. Long time to go till signing day.

If I'm a currently committed HS recruit who is worth anything and this season ends at 3 wins (or dare I say even 2), my price tag is going up big time. Freeze's nuts are going to be securely held in the vice-grip of all the handlers and advisers.

What is he going to do? Completely shite the bed on the field, and then let let his only meal tickets (HS recruits) go elsewhere?

He said competing. What did he say about struggling to win 3 games in year two?

The same QB won 6 games just a season ago with worse players around him, in case you forgot.

I'm hopeful that the Freeze backers are aware that no recruits, Freeze is no longer necessary, so they pay up.

We've competed in every single game this year. Even Cal and Arkansas with an extreme amount of turnovers. They've controlled 2 games into the 4th quarter where double digit leads were blown. And no, I'm not about moral victories. A loss is a loss and we should have held those leads against OU and Mizzou. But we didn't. It's an extremely young team as far as where the talent is. The upperclassmen who transferred in, transferred in for a reason. The only one who is worth even close to what he's making in NIL, as far as transfers go, is KSL.

We are way closer than the "Never-Freeze" people don't care about that though. There us plenty of blame to go around between the entire coaching staff and the players on the field. But they are close.

The same QB has regressed every season he has been a starter. He is a head case and a cancer to the team.

Thorne was nearly last in the conference in QB play last year. 5th this year.

Jville only knows how to repeat the same old shite.

Would you go to battle with the linemen, receivers, and defenders who shy away from contact?

Yes. His HC has put up really good offenses with even average QB play. PT is below average, and that really hinders Freeze from calling the offense like he wants to.

If PT is below average, what is Robby Ashford? You know the guy that is currently a backup to Sellers, another guy that Payton Thorne outranks of course.
