Don't believe Gus would give him the freedom he would want. Well look at it this way. If he doesn’t give freedom in someone in Freeze he is good friends with and respects as a peer & an accomplished coach then there’s no one he will give freedom to so if Gus stays it’s worth a shot IMO.

If it didn't work out with HF, who, as you said, is a very accomplished offensive coach, it would shine a gigantic spotlight on whom is at fault...both then and in previous campaigns. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuburnNTexas 7,151 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Short of a total meltdown, Gus will be here next year but will have to make an OC change. In that scenario I could see Hugh Freeze assuming he could get compliance and AD buy in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeek 16,657 Posted October 31, 2018 Author Share Posted October 31, 2018 Freeze would definitely get a lot out of Jarrett, who SHOULD return if we had Freeze, and the receivers we have. So long as he recruits better RB than what OM usually had (iirc they were usually undersized). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get what I did there? Seriously, there is no way JS returns next year. He is losing money every snap he takes. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I’m an NFL team in need of a qb I’d look for a veteran and maybe draft Grier in mid-round if possible. I do think we beat A&M and Liberty and look competitive against Georgia. Meaning Gus likely stays. Freeze could save his career here but next year could be a flaming hot seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if we got lucky (METAPHORICALLY SPEAKING!!!!) and CNS got hit by a bus or something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also this week you will see the difference in a really good coach in Jimbo ANNNNNNNNNND GUS look like. I do not see us beating A and M. I keep seeing people think we will be competitive against georgia?! IN WHAT WORLD?! It will look like the 2014 game. WE. CANNOT. WIN. IN RED STICK. OR. Sanford Stadium.............If anyone but Bo Nix is the QB next year it will not matter if Freeze is the OC. Malik, Joey G and Cord just are not the naturally gifted passers that Freeze would need to excel in a pass first Hugh Freeze offense. Plus that OL is still booty. Whoever is back there will be running for their life. Edited October 31, 2018 by GwillMac6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asking for a friend! Didn't know Saban tried to hire Freeze & it be blocked by the SEC. I have no clue if the SEC would block a Freeze to OC & will not venture to guess since it's not an area I'm familiar with & Didn't have any prior knowledge of what you just mentioned. I will wait for people that have connections to chime in. The question is better suited for the regular football forum anyway so let's stay focused on recruiting here in the recruiting forum.

Apraser99 168 Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Okay....to my dismay, Gus will probably be here next year. I do not want to become Miss State but we probably need to scour the Juco ranks for some key positions, specifically OL. We need immediate help and I don't see it on our roster. May not hurt to pick up a LB or two as well. Lord knows we have room on our commit list at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburn4ever 1,266 Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 After todays win, it now looks like Auburn and Malzahn could be headed for another 8-4 for the season. If that happens, that will Gus Malzahn's 3rd 8 win season during his 6 years as Auburn's head coach. I for one would like to see a better record coming from a head coach who's getting paid 49 million plus a crazy buyout. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AubFanCT 180 Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Another 8-4 season? We will be lucky to split with THUGA and Nick Satan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Freak 2,528 Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 We are actually lucky to be looking at 7 wins during the regular season. 8 would really make me more mad about LSU, MSU and TN and what could have been. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said AU is looking at 1 juco OL & 1 juco LB right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine that he has to be pretty frustrated as a former 5* sitting at the bottom of UAT’s depth chart. I would to love to get him if he ever decided to transfer from UAT.
