Auburn Hires Hugh Freeze as Football Coach

Impressive Background and Upside on the Field

The Auburn Tigers have found their new football coach in Hugh Freeze, a move that carries significant promise for the program's on-field fortunes. With a strong track record and a reputation for developing high-powered offenses, Freeze is poised to bring excitement and success back to the Plains.

Thorough Search and Contract Agreement

Following the dismissal of Bryan Harsin, Auburn embarked on a comprehensive search for his successor. After a thorough evaluation of numerous candidates, the university and Freeze reached an agreement for him to lead the Tigers. The contract details are expected to be finalized soon.

Return to the SEC

For Freeze, the move to Auburn marks a return to the Southeastern Conference (SEC), where he previously served as head coach at Mississippi from 2012 to 2016. During his tenure with the Rebels, he led the team to a 39-25 record, including three bowl victories. His offenses were consistently among the most explosive in the nation, averaging over 40 points per game.
