Auburn Football Offense Breakdown | Play Calling, Recruiting, and What’s Next I Auburn Football Podcast
Description
The conversation around Auburn football is heating up after another frustrating stretch under Hugh Freeze. The Auburn Express crew dives deep into what’s gone wrong for the Tigers in 2025 — from poor offensive execution to questionable play calling and recruiting stagnation. With Auburn’s matchup against Arkansas looming, fans are divided on whether Freeze deserves another year at the helm or if athletic director John Cohen should start searching for his replacement.
Arkansas enters this game ranked 124th in total defense, yet there’s little confidence that Auburn’s offense can take advantage. The Tigers’ defense has been holding opponents below their averages all season, but the problem remains — can Auburn score more than 24 points? That’s the number needed to win, and so far, the offense hasn’t delivered consistently.
The panel explores a critical question: If Freeze were replaced midseason, who would even call plays? With no proven play caller on staff, Auburn’s offensive identity remains in question. The crew also discusses how constant coaching turnover and NIL pressures have made player retention just as important as recruiting. Cohen now faces the impossible task of balancing stability with accountability, all while boosters and fans grow impatient.
Auburn Nation is tired of hearing “we’re close.” They want results. Whether Freeze makes it through the season or not, something has to change in the process — not just the personnel. The Tigers have the talent, but until the leadership adjusts, frustration will continue to mount on The Plains.
