And yet, Jake Thorton and Kent Austin still have jobs with a bye week offering the perfect time to make the move for Freeze. SMH

His other OC is the HC at Texas. We are not in the same situation. If I recall correctly.

Thornton must have 9 lives. Offensive line play has been unbelievably dreadful since Freeze came in. If I recall correctly, Ole Miss fans weren’t exactly sad to see him go either.

When Hugh gets back from Member-Guest Sunday, there will be a presser announcing OL coaching change.

If Hugh does not make the shootout, it could move things up a day.

We’re not even talking about an OC though. We’re talking about 2 position coaches that have produced the worst positions consistently. At least Freeze could make us think he gives af about winning.

I realized that. Just saying, Saban had HC’s at every position coach during his career. Auburn does not have that.

I will edit to ask…who does Hugh replace them with?

I am just sick of watching other teams with competent passing games. Last night watched the pro game and just some simple routes, picking up yards, hitting guys wide open...also watching some games tonight and seeing slants etc when you know pressure is coming...seems we can't do the simple shite...

He could replace them with a GA at this point. It’s about sending a message that the mediocrity and subpar performance is not going to be tolerated any longer.

There’s a big difference between firing your OC before the natty and firing your OC because your program is a raging dumpster fire and you’re trying to save your job. Once they go, Freeze has no firewall to save himself.

Just heard them say on the UA-Vandy game that the Gump defense has given up several long runs this season. I guess that means we'll run the ball 5 or so times when we play.

We need to go ahead and offer Clark Lea a bag after he puts the belt to Bama.

Sad brother we're watching rivals hopeful of any type of inner happiness because we suck so bad on offense/HC/QB/OC/period.

I said that last Saturday when thUGA was gashing them with the run. Unfortunately for bowl cut, he also has an idiot, Bobo, as an OC.

What’s sad is I woke up today knowing it was a bye week and not missing watch us play at all. That would have never happened, let’s say 2017, and prior.
