Ok. And we landed a top 100 recruit. #5 QB.

Likely to land a 5 star QB for the next class next week. So he’s recruiting for that position

And Gus was fired that year. Yikes, a number 7 ranked recruiting class will get someone fired at Auburn. No wonder no coach wants the job.

Freeze has to be looking at his current recruiting class sweating.

Payton wasnt a hole in Freeze's recruiting class and was accounted for. He is a bridge QB and Freeze purposely didn't pay up for a bandaid QB so that he could bring better weapons for the next QB.

Good, he needs to start. You reckon one of these new guys can figure out a way to play this season?

I have responded to just about every response post to me in this thread. You just don’t like them.

So, what are your expectations for Hugh Freeze? What will make Auburn fans happy?

Well, Gus had a knack for landing inflated ranked classes that did little for winning. Tank did well, but other than that, the rest portaled out quickly.

Nah, you just haven’t been able to keep up. So, what will make Auburn fans happy this year? That is a simple enough question.

As you post a question that’s completely irrelevant to your original post.


Which I don’t know why I’m surprised since your original post was a response to me and completely irrelevant to what I said.

You basically have.

But then you throw shade because Auburn fired Gus after a 7th rated ranking the year before (mind you these rankings are not worth a hill of beans as you have said yourself.)

Here are the Cliff’s Notes for you:

Auburn has a history of recruiting at a top 10 level.

That doesn’t translate onto the field most years.

Hugh Freeze is a very good recruiter.

He is an average coach.

Auburn will go 8-4 this year. Maybe 7-5.

How long will the hope of better days sustain Auburn fans?

No. I said you need to recruit at a top 10 level. But not all top 10 classes guarantee they fit needs.

The cool thing about this is we will know who is right eventually.

Hugh is a decent coach and a far more balanced recruiter than Gus.

Hugh has been pounding harder on recruiting the lines of play while mixing in elite skill position players as good as any that has been in Auburn since Tuberville at the millenium. That in itself will pay dividends.

You should be more worried about Bama though. Let us worry about Auburn.

That's right. Hence Gus getting fired. When Gus was losing OL to Georgia like Broderick Jones and Trey Hill that's when it was game over for Gus. At least he scrounged up some OL from UMASS to beat Saban one last time. lol!
