Anytime you hire a guy that has zero DL coaching experience at the power 5 level, its a risk. Dont care how optimistic people are thats the truth.
And its even riskier when you think that the 2025 class will set the tone for the future of our DL for years to come. Hope Freeze has an eye for coaches like he has an eye for talent.
This guy was already part of the 2025 DL recruiting, which is part of the reason why it made sense to promote him. The commits already know him. Jeremy Garrett stayed in Auburn this past recruiting weekend to help shore up the transition.
Freeze is batting like 1.000 with "young, inexperienced" DL coaches so this either isn't as big a risk as you think it is, or he has an unfathomable eye for picking them. I think that every one of his DL hires has been in this mold. For those that aren't aware, both Freddie Roach (Bama DL coach) and Tray Scott (UGA DL coach) have Freeze ties (Roach was brought on to Ole Miss by Freeze before he got fired and Scott was a GA at both Arky Stated and Ole Miss while Freeze was there). Chris Kiffin and Jeremy Garrett are two other examples.
