I know there was some smoke about Gus to Tech, but that rumor can be put to bed as well. I just want Tech to have a competent coach. They frustrated me to no end sitting in a talent-rich state like Georgia and not even trying to be good. Tech has an opportunity to be a really good football program if they tried.

PoetTiger 1,896 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Yeah this is a good move for Freeze...quiet place away from the chatter and sets him up on the HC redemption train. Just take his phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dual-Threat Rigby 8,662 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 How do we fire the ******* board of trustees??? This is my first time being legitimately pissed about auburn’s Management in a while....losing a golden offensive coordinator due to bigheadness. No one buy tickets next year please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU-24 3,063 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Turns out Gus is one for three. 1. He is still at Auburn 2. Missed his transfer QB 3. Missed out on Hugh Freeze One for three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AURealist 2,185 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 C'mon! Seriously? Who are we kidding? We already know who will be our next OC. Our minds have just not yet accepted it as fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it seems there was some meddling, I'm legit curious on how Tennessee missed on Freeze as well. I really think Sankey and the SEC stepped in again and strongly discouraged UT and AU. I don't think Sankey has the legal power to stop it, but if AU didn't work out, then go to the next SEC school that wanted him. Liberty, all the way up in Virginia...??

Gus is now paid $1M per year to be HC. He's now the highest paid OC, at $6M per year, in the history of football. Auburn's Administration is making HISTORY!!!

AuCivilEng1 11,004 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 I'd love to know what this offensive staff is telling recruits to keep them from decommiting. This is ridiculous. We need to figure this out fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not if you take into account some other folks with well documented transgressions that Liberty has embraced. This doesn't shock me in the least.

Thats what happens when we are desperate and then hire our past OC who is in his 1st year as a HC at a small school. Let the dumb asses that hired him deal with it. Im just going to watch football.

Freeze was apparently on the no-fly list for the SEC.....but why would he take an OC job anyway? HC jobs are opening up almost every day and he's got a pretty good resume' if you ignore some of the personal transgressions. As noted, Liberty is good place for him....only one boss (Falwell) , don't worry about the media and no BOT to meddle with the football program. An ideal job for him....JMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Bentley plays his cards right, we could be his ticket to a Davidson or even a George Mason intramural gig. Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars, Bobby B!
