Description
When Auburn hired Hugh Freeze, the hope was revival — offensive innovation, recruiting momentum, and a return to SEC contention. Instead, it ended in disappointment, inconsistency, and another hard reset on the Plains.

From leadership misalignment and scheme stagnation to lessons in hiring strategy and fit, this conversation goes beyond the scoreboard to uncover the real takeaways from the Hugh Freeze experiment.
