just a few...

"I’m big on not signing a quarterback that I haven’t seen throw,” Hugh Freeze on QB Hank Brown. “I’ve seen him make every throw you can make. He has an NFL arm. I’ve seen it with my own eyes." (thanks Beachbum)

OC Montgomery will call plays

Thanked CRob for his help on the trail

ST coordinator is hired but cannot announce yet due to HR. He will coordinate from off the field. TE coach & GAs will call on-the-field ST plays

Specifically looking for more OL & DL, and LB in the portal. Anything else would be gravy. Would take a QB if they find the right one

Really close on hiring WR coach, but have had to sit that aside to focus on recruiting

"I don't think I can say it with any more emphasis, I don't think we sign the class today without Zac Etheridge's efforts"

This is very strange he. So the guy won’t even call plays next year? Am I missing something?

I think he is meaning he is going to be a press box position and relay stuff down to the TE coach/GAs on the field.

You only get so many on the field coaches so my guess is we likely hit that limit with bringing in two DB coaches so this was the work around.

We did pretty good for the short time period they had but it’s not the type of class we need to be competitive again.

But there’s reasons to believe we’ll get that next year and we filled some big holes.

AA7 is correct. Due to limits on on-field coaches, the ST coordinator will have to rely on other on-field coaches to actually call ST plays, unless (and Hugh referenced it) the limit on on-field coaches is increased.

The ST coordinator will be completely off the field. Like an analyst role. Now he doesn't have to answer the question "Why don't you have a special teams coordinator?" when one little thing goes wrong on special teams. Obviously values true position coaches more.

I'd give him the benefit of the doubt. Freeze ain't Gus, until he is.

What do you mean? Montgomery doesn't take this job otherwise. He is a highly decorated coach that can find a job easily. You would have known if Freeze was going to call plays if he hired someone like Derrick Nix as the "OC".

Freeze said he “looks at the depth chart and it looks scary to me in some places.”

I told y’all Harsin was destroying Auburn over and over and y’all were like “you’re just bitching; I trust Harsin.”


Ha!

Haskins is a good man. He doesn’t deserve this!

Anybody that says “same old shite” after lissening to the presser is dense af and needs to stick to watching QVC.

He said this is a big boy league and he will always make sure the big boy room stays “correct.” He emphasized the continued need at OL more than any other position despite the infusion today.

This presser was a substantial change from the past 8 years…
