This, the players loved playing for Roberts.

Durkin had been given a second chance by Kiffen. He took advantage of that. Hugh is just hiring a qualified guy to run his defense. Liberty University gave Hugh a second chance . He took advantage of that. Auburn hired a qualified candidate who had success in the SEC. neither HuGh or Auburn are doing some mythical redemption, second chance schtick as much as some of you wanna make it about your faith. it is simply about winning football games any way possible.

Visiting recruits in Mississippi all day so far.

Freeze has his guys now, so I like that for him.

The official New Era is wait until next year and all these recruits come in and will continue to be that way until/if they actually get developed for the random great season. Also known as Auburn football how it has always been!

It was the most likely scenario as well.

I feel like Hugh is at a point where he was one of the better carriage/wagon makers and the car was developed. He needs to decide to keep making wagons or adapt and start making cars.

Have had my respect for a long time, learned tons in the basketball forum from possibly even the Lebo era. By far the basketball expert on this forum!

Brown could be the guy but jumping to some of the conclusions that I am seeing after seeing only 9 pass attempts is really alarming. He faced a basic defense of back ups the last 7 minutes of a blow out bowl game where the other team was making sure every guy on the roster that suited up got some snaps. It is great that he played well, it really is but I personally have not seen remotely close to enough to anoint him the something more than he did well in clean up duty. How quickly some forget Jeremy Johnson.

Big bowl game, goes pro. Weak rb class and short career.

lol

His qb coach from Liberty is on staff, not sure Bo Wallace was ever coached up By anyone. He just got more comfortable in that type of offense. I actually just looked up if he had ever been a qb coach because so many Auburn fans make claims of him being a qb developer when Hugh himself says he doesn’t work on fundamentals with qbs and doesn’t know that stuff. Maybe it is the Gus factor of thinking Hugh micromanages every aspect of practice like Gus did.

Hugh says he doesn’t develop qbs himself, and that qb coaches do that. fun fact: Hugh Freeze has never been a qb coach in his entire career

I am not bashing on Hugh, but what high school quarterbacks has Hugh developed? Has he even been at a school long enough to prove he develops QBs? Or is it that he is just good at developing his offense around the talent he gets at qb? Which is a great ability if not equal or better ability to have.

Transfer Cam Newton, transfer Nick Marshall, transfer Jarrett Stidham. 3 best QBs at Auburn over the last 15 years. If you can bring in a better player you do it, I can't, well, I can, believe people are debating this with you.

Leadership and experience

There were so many problems with the offense in basic execution almost every series. Wrong routes, wrong reads, missed blocks, etc. every single person who worked at offense had a degree of responsibility for that disaster of a performance this season. hugh’s best skill is adapting his offense and play calling to his qbs strengths. It wasn’t the focus early in the season and it showed. We will be better, no doubt. Hugh can hide or mask mediocre offensive line play better than we have seen in decades from our coaching staffs. My main concern with Hugh is can he overcome the bad loss ability he has shown most seasons.

Better design can help with that. Basic west coast concept of two step drop and release would be a good start.

He hasn’t even entered or committed to entering the portal as of now. Not saying he won’t any minute, however!

Van Dyke QB Miami is one to pay attention to.

He has ripped the roster repeatedly, which I find interesting at how many Auburn fans trash Coach Prime for doing the same thing…..

No, we sold our soul to Hugh and we gotta go with it. We can’t fire a coach too early again. There is no way around it this is a terrible loss and it is 100% on the coaching staff and the main guy who claimed he had coaches upon coaches begging for a job with him…..

The fact that there is a thread talking about a talent gap when NMSU just whooped our ass and and making excuses for it is just ridiculous

The failure of the coaching staff to have the team prepared to kick the s*** out of the opponent at home needs to be a total warning sign, this was beyond embarrassing form tHe first quarter on. We spend way too much money on coaches to have this type of prperation.
