Auburn Hires Hugh Freeze as Football Head Coach
A Risky Move with Potential Upsides
Auburn University has hired former Ole Miss and Liberty coach Hugh Freeze as the 31st head football coach in the Auburn's 129-year history.
The hiring was announced Monday by Athletics Director John Cohen following a thorough search process that began after Bryan Harsin's firing. Freeze resigned from Ole Miss in 2017 amidst allegations of personal misconduct. His move to Auburn has been met with mixed reactions, with some praising his on-field success while others expressing concerns about his off-field conduct.
