Freeze is a high school coach and has a gimicky offense that was good a decade ago. The game has changed immensely since then. Freeze was not a home run hire by any stretch. He was just lucky enough that Auburn is run by a bunch of hicks like him and the job opened up after legit candidates turned AU down.

What’s missing is the “dog” mentality and some fight. The last time i saw the fight was against Texas A&M in 2022 with Caddy. I am in no way advocating we should have hired Cadillac. I am just saying that was the last time i saw fire instead of a corporate game day- business trip mentality. We need to get mean. Punch someone in the throat. Lose-maybe- but fight for it.

You think that’s true?

A soft 4/10

Seems like he’s going to at least leave some talent for the next guy

The frick is this shite lol

We’ve been relevant in the title picture every decade since the 80s. Are we Bama? No. Are we Georgia? No. But we’re a damn good program and should expect better than losing to Cal at home

He’s been a good recruiter, but has yet to win significant games.

We fought Bama last year. We had a DB literally give his all to prevent a first down and he did. Hallowed be thy name.


Auburn/ A&M game was a game involving misfits playing backyard sloppy football.

About an 8/10. We had the worst roster in the conference when he was hired and we all knew this was a long rebuild. Wanting to fire him over one player is short sighted.

We are only talking one full recruiting class so far though. The recent recruiting success might seem like its not translating but that's only because they aren't on our roster yet.

We are fine. We knew two years ago these years would suck. Rubber meets the road year four

If it doesn’t happen with freeze idk how you don’t go get a kiffen and give him what he wants. Really there are only so many names out there that would be considerable for what it would cost to get them. Kiffen,Riley come to mind. Still haven’t lost faith in freeze though I think he recruits the lines this year and next and we get it together.

never had any

said he would be a stupid, lazy hire back in 2022 when he was riding high after beating Arky and had Liberty ranked, knew he was fools gold then

if anything my opinion of his ability to ever succeed at AU has diminished below my lowest expectations

i’m sure he’s great with the money guys though


and the Touheys love him, so there’s that

Man, one game and ya'll turned on him quick.

We were going to contend... looking to be undefeated for Oklahoma. Woops. One game threw a big ole wrench into that..

Auburn is going to remain in the bottom tier of the SEC for a while. Get used to it.

Waste your money paying into NIL.

Sucks to not have college football as a hobby to enjoy. Nobody likes spending time and effort on a failing hobby. Makes it much less fun.

Game 2 of year 2 and everyone has already fired him. This is why we are where we are at today.

Keep on and we will be Nebraska 2.0

If he loses to Baylor at home in year 4, then fire his arse to the moon.

I am still supportive. Not much else to be at this point. He’s recruiting well. Rebuilding the roster. He had deep hole to dig out of. My main fan frustration- and it’s just fandom- is that I would like for us to be more competitive against teams we should be competitive with at this point with who we have on the roster. Losing like we have lost stinks. Perhaps it is just that I don’t like or don’t want to accept that we aren’t competing well against teams I would prefer to beat with the roster we have——which boils down to things that I am only competent to subjectively observe as a fan- totally emotionally based responses. It’s great to be a fan- it’s also frustrating to be a fan because you cant do much but hope, cheer and wait. But it’s always great to be an Auburn Tiger- except when all you have to do is psycho analyze college kids for 6 days between games. Ha!
