That was a waste of a trip to Fort Worth. He could’ve done it via video chat and had the same experience.
And shame to ESPN for making 60% of the interview about his past. Typical. AU should’ve known that would happen and not sent him. To hell with College Gameday.

I thought Hugh did well. I also hope he’s taking this opportunity to meet with any HS coaches while in Texas.

I'm sure he is there for other reasons otherwise it would have been remote.
I thought the questions were fair and pretty good. They touched on his past without specifics and asked about his plan at Auburn
It went well.

If they talk about it now and get it out of the way, the next time he interviews you can focus on football and media wont want to retread the topic.

1. ESPN is doing its job by asking. Their job isn’t to promote Auburn
2. Phone call interview is lame AF and ESPN probably wouldn’t have even done it.

I can about guarantee that GameDay didn't ask Freeze to come on. More likely, Auburn PR, or whatever outside PR team is handling Freeze, asked GameDay. GameDay happy to oblige as it's a new SEC hire and has generated national buzz (for better or worse). The PR team's objective here is to get Freeze in front of a national audience and begin to change the narrative. The exposure also benefits recruiting.
No doubt there were clear guidelines agreed upon about what was in and out of bounds, as others have said. But you're not putting him on at this point in time without expecting, and agreeing to, some questions about his past. Matter of fact, that's half the point.
