Somebody at ESPN fricked up…
re: Former Auburn WR Marcus Davis to be named WR coach…

Boy the boosters got their meat hooks deep into Freeze
Neither agreeing or disagreeing with this statement but wonder why you’d say this concerning the Davis hire??
Seems like there are other former players, including Burns or Reed, Freeze would’ve hired for WR coach if the boosters were meddling.

Great that he was in-person, but Hugh could’ve done a better job. Didn’t seem very energetic and wish he would’ve hammered home more about why Auburn is great.
I don’t blame Hugh, I blame the PR agency.

I’m seeing less and less from the media on Freeze’s past. By weekend, that should be out of that news cycle and they’ll be onto something else (all except Joseph Goodman and a few others).
re: Freeze + Ashford

Or maybe maturity. Seems there were a couple times on sideline where he let emotion get the better of him and then also when he took to Twitter complaining.
Kid’s still young + I can only imagine how frustrating it was under potato posse.
Also, I always think about how Jason Campbell transformed when he got the “right” coaching.
Time will tell about Ashford, but seems like A LOT of potential and I’m here for it.

re: SIAD… Is there a list of Jimmy Sexton’s clients somewhere re: coaching staff

Like I said in OP trying to figure out who’s on his roster might indicate potential hires. Not talking employed HC’s but unemployed head coaches and OC level folks.
SIAD… Is there a list of Jimmy Sexton’s clients somewhere re: coaching staff
Posted by atlau on 11/29/22 at 8:42 pm
Freeze mentioned during his press conference today that he’s been receiving calls from coaches who are interested in coming to AU and that Jimmy Sexton is putting people in front of him too.
Wonder who all is on Sexton’s roster of clients and how that could play into our staff.
From Sexton’s POV, gotta think he’d want any of his guys who aren’t already at one of the top 10 programs in country at AU because it means more money and more visibility (leading to better jobs which in turn helps him line his pockets).

re: Colorado Buffalos offer Deion Sanders HC position....Auburn, did you miss the boat?
Posted by atlau on 11/29/22 at 3:38 pm
I never wanted Deion (and for the record, didn’t want Freeze).
Deion is a totally unknown commodity. Maybe he’ll be great or maybe he benefited from a talent gap.
All I know is IF Auburn hired him and he fizzled, and we booted him, it would be a much bigger fiasco than the Harsin (and other firings). I don’t see Deion quietly taking his buyout and that being the end of it…

re: Hugh Freeze “appears” to be gaining steam per Bunker + others… convince me Freezers
Posted by atlau on 11/28/22 at 12:05 pm
Yes I know but for purpose of discussion left his record before it was vacated since those were results on the field.
I could’ve used vacated numbers but then this immediately becomes troll thread which is not my intention.

Good context. Yes, shows he improved year over year.
I hate to say it but regardless of who we hire, it’s probably going to be a couple years until we’re back at the top unless our new coach hits the portal hard to fill needed gaps.

You’re right, this could have been phrased better. Bunker, “insiders,” etc. seem to be implying gaining steam.
Should have left that out or reworded not to lose focus.
I legit want to understand why people are excited about him.

I’m not gonna spell his record out for you that is open to the public and is shown to be a good one.
His record at Ole Miss was 39-25. This is good?

First, I am against Freeze because of his pattern of poor decision making.
BUT, let’s throw that out for a minute. He doesn’t excite me because of his record either. If he was such a great coach, why hasn’t he been linked to other jobs?
I’d love to hear from the folks who want Freeze why we should be excited about him. He beat Bama 2-3 times but never made to Atlanta. Even when he paid recruits the best classes he had at OM were 7th and 9th (I believe that’s accurate). The rest in the teens.
Sell me on why Freeze is a slam dunk and not an 8-4 coach.

Bad take. Players and staff fought hard after Harsin was shown the door. Team could use more practices and will give new coach extra time with team.
Guarantee if we play Baylor we’ll beat them.

Good call. Give FG unit some practice. Put some more points on board. Weren’t going to win anyway.
