I agree and it pisses me off. By the way, Saban isn't far behind.

Nix handles 1st down strategy/play-calling. Austin handles 3rd down strategy/play-calling. And as Nix said of Hugh Freeze, "head coach has the authority to overrule anything we say or do."


Why does he keep up with the charade of Nix being a play caller? Honestly should just give the keys to Kent Austin. Seems like OM was at their best under Freeze when Kent Austin was OC and Tom Arnold was DC.

You start an an Auburn centric thread every two days this month and then spend the majority your time posting in them. You have no job or girlfriend.

t’s about the play-calling plan you’d expect from a country moron. Can’t wait for the coaching search process to begin.


Can't blame you

Man, if it weren't for Alabama fans on the SECRant I have no idea how I would get my Auburn sporting news.

I don't think it is for you or AU fans.

It is an interesting story. Not unheard of to have an OC, pass play specialist and and OC minded HC with his hand on override.

Just seems a mess.

That said, the worse the situation and expectations feel at AU the more they surprise.

Don't be so sensitive.

I like it. Just when the defense think they have it figured out, let Nix start calling third downs and Austin do first downs and they'll be totally lost.

That's some.....

Glad we could all help. You could however read the back pages with your mom while drinking your morning coffee.

Hugh Freeze to his assistant, “What!? You were offered the Southern Miss job, well congratulations. But listen, I was actually on my way to your office to give you play call duties. No really, after 18 years of head coaching and play calling I’ve learned it’s just too much for me.”

1 hr later copy paste this convo after hood other assistant was offered the job.

Cracks me up as much as the co-head coach thing.

If the offense is confused, the defense has to be confused! Next level coaching right there!
