This was supposed to be the search where we shook off "JABA." (I know nothing's official yet but just preparing myself for him to announce it right before the game tomorrow night. Naturally I have a bad feeling that Freeze will fall through somehow too...) AU will never shake off JABA 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate when people try to intermingle their own faith principles in entertainment. Seeing how all this has went down, lm gonna circle back around and go with Danny Hugh. I'm just not convinced that Kiffen really wants to be at AU or if he just wants to chase a championship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm leaning DHF myself considering he would possibly be willing to keep guys like Caddy and Etheridge. Obviously it should be his choice, but I think he'd be humbled by the opportunity and not threatened by the success of our "Auburn men". Building a great staff will be paramount to his success and those 2 should be kept IMO. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And possibly convince Matt Luke to come out of retirement Edited November 25, 2022 by NWALA Tiger 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just wondering why we would want Dan Mullen's quarterbacks coach after he crapped the bed at Florida. I had hoped Freeze was a last gasp mention, but wow. Brian Johnson didn’t crap the bed at Florida. Dan Mullen did the year after Johnson left for the nfl. Kyle trask three for 43 tds and Florida won the east the last season he was at Florida. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dual-Threat Rigby 8,650 Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 So either we get a guy who got smoked for an entire month after becoming top 10 or we get Hugh Freeze Kiffin is certainly an improvement over the last coach but goodness man, the optics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoALtiger 3,849 Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Unless there’s a big secret move here, looking like Freeze. I guess I’m a little surprised based on posters here being so confident he wasn’t a real option and with all the Kiffin stuff. Im fine with it, just a tick surprised. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't understand the optics talk, and I mean no disrespect to you or others that think the same. I like to listen to sports talk out of our immediate media footprint, and nationally on XM radio and the podcasts on the web. Freeze has been mentioned as a top 2 or 3 candidate in the majority of them. It won't be a surprise to many of those folks. Whether he'll be any good or not - if hired - is another matter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quietmaninthecorner 1,945 Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 This is why we are waiting 'til after the Iron Bowl. Talk about taking the wind out of our sails.

BigBlueWDE 1,136 Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 (edited) I just hope Freeze stops with the cringe faux religious speak (Edit to add: and stop with the escorts, obviously) Edited November 26, 2022 by BigBlueWDE 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey 16,566 Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 I don't have a problem with hiring a well qualified assistant coach who has SEC experience, NFL experience is known as a good recruiter. The aforementioned Johnson checks a lot of boxes. Auburn doesn't require a splash hire, we need a program builder who can understand how to use the portal and NIL to our advantage. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
