Auburn really cannot hire Hugh Freeze with his past

Let’s face it, Auburn has a bit of a PR issue. There would be a negative reaction to any major school hiring Hugh Freeze, but if Auburn hires Hugh Freeze there would be more negative press to go along with it then if probably any other school hired him.
I’m not really sure why it is that way, but it is. If Florida or Tennessee hired him, there would be nasty articles in ESPN and SI, but if Auburn hired him, there would be hit pieces in the New York Times, Washington Post, and LA Times, possibly some mentions on CNN and Fox News. It would be an unmanageable PR disaster that they cannot afford to have.

It’ll be a huge issue in a great big hurry if they do that.

If he stays at Liberty I imagine it will be buried quickly.

What did Auburn do to cause more outrage if they hired Freeze than other schools?

They don’t care anymore they should just hire urban meyers and cheat like hell to get it over with

It would be like that for any other school because this board doesn't understand the type of animal Freeze is. There is a reason only the Liberty cult will put up with his schtick at the moment.

It would be weird hiring freeze after the witch hunt they had with Clessi/Harsin in the offseason

I’m not really sure. Same thing they did that caused them backing out of games with Florida State to become a major sports story, and the same thing that made their cheating scandal in the 90s a whole episode of Sixty Minutes at a time when schools across the country were getting busted for the same thing.
Controversies at Auburn become major sports stories when at other places they’d be minor stories, and national news stories when they’d be major sports stories at other places.

Are you retarded? All he is saying is don’t slander people, if you got receipts take them to the proper reporting authorities so they can conduct and investigation. WTF

It’s the Auburn stigma

Even as sleazy as Auburn you think Freeze is too much?

It wasn’t really slander because it was true. Truth is an affirmative defense to libel/defamation.

The woman in question is trying to tie the AD in with the sexual assault cover up and had absolutely nothing to do with it.
What part of that would be considered "true"?

Absolutely. Breaking NCAA rules is one thing, but at the end of the day doesn’t actually hurt anyone. Freeze is a different level.

This is the big Albatross hanging around Auburn's neck. Don't matter now who done what, it's what they do now. Freeze has way too much baggage.

The tweet in question doesn’t have anything to do with anything at Liberty. That tweet is from 2013, and is in response to allegations that he was buying recruits, which he definitely was.

Read the whole thing, or can your UGA degree only go about ten words into a quote.

didn't see that screenshot tweet and now understand the context.
Which recruits and how much money did Freeze pay each one?
