re: Chips are down: Did Auburn frick up hiring Hugh Freeze?

So what was his excuse prior to this?

This question makes no sense. When exactly is it that you believe was "prior to this?"

He was there to recruit prior to his first season, where he led Auburn to wins over 2 ranked teams and a near-victory over a #3 Alabama team that later became SEC Champs and lost to UGA in the national title game.

The offseason immediately after that is when your school opened an inquiry into why players were leaving because he was holding them accountable, which opened the door for boosters to publicly defame him and completely derail any opportunity to succeed as Auburn's head coach. Then he was fired before the next season ended.

If Hugh Freeze hadn't had a scandal at Ole Miss, you couldn't have found an established coach willing to even answer the phone. Y'all better keep Freeze for a good long time so people can start to forget.
