Eagle Eye 7

When someone owns their mistake and apologizes for it and spends the next 4 years doing things right then it’s time to move in because we have all sone things we shouldn’t have. Freeze paid for his mistakes and his wife has forgiven him. Nothing happened at LU that involved Freeze . The woman complaining is complaining that Freeze spoke up for the AD at liberty and said He was a good guy. Nothing wrong with that. I am not downing the young lady but You can’t blame Hugh for standing up for a friend .

Yep sound like you are a loser and so you have to harp on your one point so you can seem to be relevant. Read a book or something.

Yep the SEC CG , might well be the real CFP 🤔😂

My feelings is we can make a SEC CG in two years.

Remember he has spent the last 4 years at Liberty, the Jerry Farwell show. 🤔

Exactly I think Harsin just always felt ( or seem to anyway) that AU was to country for his blood. He never wanted to fit in.

We Auburn fans do a lot of griping and wonder why coaches still think it’s a good job. The following post was on ESPN Auburn football has had a NCAA championship and played for another in the last 12 years. Only Bama, UGA,LSU,Clemson, and OSU have also during that time. We have the tools to get back to the big stage again.

Let me give you one important statistic . He beat Nick Saben in his prime at Alabama in back to back years. Almost unheard of. 🤔

And that’s okay. But he might learn some offshoots from his pay calling.

I take as a good thing. Probably the biggest mistake Gus made. Two sets of eyes are always better. I have found the best way to improve my vision is to ask someone else what they see. I think Hugh has great potential.

I think Coach Freeze did a great job covering all the bases. He was humble, admitted previous mistakes . Asked the family to let him earn their respect. He understands and respect the Auburn tradition, knows how to get it done on and off the field. He knows where we are and the work required to be done and is not afraid of it. He also showed he is will to grow by looking for coaches that can teach him as well. Important thing I took away is he knows Rich is there and he will be in a tight leash as far as conduct ( his and the team) he also understands what Bruce Pearl has brought to the table and how much it matters to not only get the coaches and teams to buy in but also the students and the fans and the whole AU family. Having had his daughter here already I think is a big positive for Coach Freeze to buy into the Auburn tradition. He also understands the importance of Caddy and I think he respects Caddy and his love for AU. I come away with a good feeling. We have a coach that’s capable of winning big and AU leaders that are willing to watch closely and insure the culture and reputation of Auburn is not put in harms way. War Eagle 🦅🦅🦅👍😊

This is the best move for Caddy. He is 40 and never been head coach at any college so he needs sone time to grow. He has all the attributes to someday be a head coach hopefully at AU. Having this Assc. Head coach will allow him t grow and mature and I think he will be a great asset for the team and AU. War Eagle lets go win.

Yes. This is a no brainer. The bowl game isn’t about us it’s about the players. They get to go to sone nice place , get sone nice stuff and enjoy a couple of days. They have worked for it and thus team definitely deserves it after the year they have endured and the coaches as well. 😊👍

Here is one thing that’s good.Hugh knows this is likely his last shot. If he makes another mistake like at OM he will get a life time ban from D1 and he knows it. Also Hugh has always been a good coach on the field everywhere he has been. Nick Saban actually tried to hire Hugh ( twice I believe) and the SEC asked him not to, so if Saban thought he was good then he probably is. So let’s just give it a chance. I doubt seriously it will be any worse than Harsin.

Again just so everyone knows the SEC bylaws required AU president to meet with the SEC commissioner and promise to insure Hugh would not make another mistake like that and to present a plan to insure that. Just like we did with Bruce Pearl when we hired him. We had to agree that Bruce couldn’t personally recruit for a period of time. That is the rules . So yes Hugh will be in a short leash at least for a while.

I don’t agree with Finebuam on much but I do agree with his latest comment. Trying to look self righteous at AU is BS. We have our skeletons just like everyone else. If we are really good people we allow folks second chances, I know I’ve had quite a few, and most of the time they work out well. Hugh admitted he messed up 5 years ago, paid his price and deserves another chance. AU needs to be serious and tell Hugh it comes with conditions and Hugh knows it will. I’m sure Liberty also had conditions . We are hiring him to make AU football relevant again and he has that ability. We aren’t hiring him to be the Chaplin . Let’s welcome Hugh and get behind these players. I know the players are excited and you will see a spark in our recruiting in the next two months. Nuff said

Hugh is no more a pedo than any other coach. Did he attempt to cheat the system? Yes just like every other D1 coach. Now with the NIL in place I don’t think anyone has to anymore. But the question is can Hugh win and do it correctly at AU and the answer is yes. Has he made mistakes yes and he paid the price for it . So AU needs to keep a close eye on Hugh and insure he stays in line. I think Rich will do a great job of that. We will see.

No we should insist. As I said the AU president had to meet with the SEC brass and give his word that if AU hired Freeze that it would come with conditions to insure that Freeze follows policy. So insisting that Freeze hire someone the President has trust in is not only good but required and Freeze knows that.

Even Saben discussed that in his presser. He said they planned for AUs run and still couldn’t stop it even with #31 across the line from them. No one can deny what a great job that Caddy did coaching the run game.

PTB what is the inside word of the day 😊

Agreed but we can insist the new coach keep Caddy as RB Coach and asst HC. Not only dies Caddy deserve this but especially in the case of Freeze you need a reliable inside guy in case Freeze attempts his past crap. I think Caddy has shown his character building resume and that should be important for the top brass and also being one of the best RBs in college football his coaching can’t be denied. 🤔🦅

Pretty sure at this point it will be Freeze. But according to SEC policy they can Hire Freeze but the President at AU must first talk to the Head at the SEC. If they hire him he will be under strict guidance especially in recruiting and player contact and the Pres. Has to give a verbal commitment to that. All in all I think Freeze is the safe bet. He has proven he can recruit and can coach at this level. It may all depend on whether Hugh is ok working under the restrictions that will be required of him. I love Caddy and he is a great coach, but running a D1 SEC west team is a big deal. If we want a fast return to glory then Hugh is probably the guy. I’m willing to give anyone a chance as long as they come in with the right attitude. Hope it comes with a requirement that Caddy be retained as RB coach ( doubt you can find a better one anyway) and maybe an assistant HC title as well. I believe Hugh would agree to that and that would give sone insurance to the brass at AU and the SEC that rules will be followed. 🤔🦅🦅🦅

Yes and Saban wasn’t leaving Miami either, remember ?

Do you really believe that. Hugh wanted this job when Harsin took it. He just hasn’t found a good D1 school that would take him with his baggage. Auburn is at a point where they have to take what they can. 🙁🦅

This will be a tough job. Not only a whole new coaching staff but we will have to field a whole new team as well.I doubt we have a single decent player that doesn’t hit the portal . Maybe Hugh can bring some Liberty players. 🤔
