But why

It would help if they were on the schedule. 😜 I am pretty bummed at not having a chance to give Lane the stomping he deserves though.

Funny, I just asked two completely disparate audiences who they think it will be and both immediately came back with Dan Lanning. Maybe that had already been rumored if the retirement talk had any meat to it and I just wasn't paying attention then.

Honestly. I hated the rush 2 strategy, but at that point why not rush 0? Just put 11 DBs and WRs on the goal line and wait.

That is indeed interesting, kind of funny, but mostly sad. Not even sad for us as fans that had to endure those 2 years, but mostly sad for the players that had their college (and possibly pro) careers stunted or otherwise damaged by those two years. War Eagle Jaylin!

Well that was a dumb show.

Bear was more "lovable" than tolerable, his replacement is downright awful, Corso is sad, McAfee is painful to watch, and Bulldog or not, they should not have dropped David Pollack.

Looks like the video was taken down from the original post/tweet, anyone have another link to it? Surely it wasn't because of a copyright violation, since it was the CBS Sports account and all...

My opinion is that he is simply saying there are no guarantees in this game regardless of who you hire. People want to pin a stigma on CHF that "we know who he is and he will always be that" as justification to not give us a chance or feel optimistic about a future under him, but look around at all the "sure thing" head coach hires and their current success (Jimbo, Dabo, Cristobal, etc) and it's obviously never that straightforward. The same people who want to assume Freeze's future at Auburn would likely have guaranteed A&M to have huge success when they hired Jimbo as well. That rambling probably doesn't make much sense, but my dinner's ready. 😅

Well, this thread sure got dumb despite a very good start. Thanks for your insight, @LPTiger

Offense needs to be doing Asante’s laundry for a while.

This is just gross.

Isn't that just called "college kids walking to class" these days?

Nope. Not Harsin. Coach Garner.

I thought Capers announced he is not entering the portal?

Given that Freeze has done a good job improving every program he's ever run, bringing on some of the same coaches that helped him do that seems like a wise move to me, not favoritism.

I don’t think you’re looking at it very objectively.

Maybe he turned it off too early and forgot to check the final score.

I'm not going to fantasize about making the playoffs just yet, but if you're being honest getting into the top 12 is not all that lofty of a goal when you have 3 loss teams up in that range now. But those 3 losses can't be Bama/UGA/LSU and still expect to get there. For next year, I "expect" improvement and we get Vandy along with an easier non-conference schedule, so I'll say 7 wins minimum, hoping for 8.

Well that's a great point, they don't have to say anything. But they did.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see. So far so good. https://auburn.rivals.com/news/recruits-react-to-hugh-freeze-hiring-auburn-tigers-football-recruiting

Yep, not trying to pretend that didn't happen, but I'm also not going to hold one or two games in his first HC season against his future potential. Even the best coaches have made some boneheaded decisions a time or two, the hope is that the better ones will learn from them going forward. All that said I doubt he leaves after his first year, but I'd be very excited about the hire if it came to that.

I see where you're going but I'm not really basing that opinion on his results in a first year at Oregon, would have been a good hire even straight out of being Kirby's DC for a couple years along with his recruiting skills. A year of HC experience only helps that.

Clearly you don't subscribe to modern day cancel culture.
