Harsin almost beat ole Nicky at home. Hugh will have a much better shot. 
 

That empire is falling if you haven’t noticed 

Falling right back into the playoffs…like they always do. Just need USC or TCU to lose.

This is like keeping Jay Jacobs and Malzahn, but with extra steps and baggage.

Absolutely. 

Who is getting excited about playing in a Sunbelt offense with a guy best known for dialing up escort services? I guess we'll find out how healthy our NIL really is. We'll need every penny. 

Yeah college guys really think getting laid is so reprehensible.

This fan base will hurt recruiting more than Freeze. Does not make a difference what he did or did not do in his past.

Doubt they jump 1 loss tOSU and 1 loss TCU but possible. Georgia and UM would absolutely work Bama in the Playoff.

Why are people acting like his absolute dumptruck of baggage will not affect him as a recruiter?? I do not see a scenario where his baggage, alongside the immense outburst and hatred on social media will not destroy recruits' opinions of him and Auburn.

 

The negativity this has/is going to continue to cause will hurt recruiting so much. I don't care what you think about him as an X's and O's guy. The awful PR is going to show on the roster and he cannot win his way out of it. Just like Harsin couldn't win his way out of horrible recruiting and bad roster management.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see. So far so good.

As has been stated multiple times, we are our own worst enemy. 

[sambahat 6]

This hire is pure genius.  I was afraid that JABA would be cemented in Auburn's legacy forever... boy was I wrong.  After CBH was fired, the time was clearly well spent searching for the perfect candidate... the perfect "Auburn Man."  He checks off all the boxes:
Football IQ?  Check!
SEC experience? Check!
Winning against Power 5 programs at a small school?  Check!
High moral standards?  Check! Check! Check!

I can't wait for him to lead these young men into battle... Welcome Coach Bobby Petrino!

"college guys" are going to be hearing a LOT about how this guy is one "getting laid" moment away from not being Auburn's coach. 

If you haven't noticed lately, instability doesn't bring in recruits.

We didn't need a new AD to hire Freeze. 

He was the most obvious, easiest, least imaginative choice.  

JABA is real.  

I’ve stated a couple of times that if Prime didn’t work out, Freeze will always be located in Lynchburg, VA if we ever needed him.

[Chrysalis99 80]

There are some low post count moles in here pretending to be AU fans. I’m also now sure there are enemy moles who’ve coyly hidden their agenda over time to further stir the pot and give the fanbase a very bad name. To all you bloody infiltrators….a BIG F…U…

This is by far the most idiotic coaching search I've seen at Auburn in my lifetime... perhaps even in college football, period. 

No one wants this guy but us. We've been rumored to be interested in him since Harsin was supposedly going to be fired early in the year.

We get clowned by Kiffin, allow a beat writer guess circus to make us further look like fools without comment and now we hire a guy we literally could have hired the second we fired Harsin. 

We're about to be an even bigger joke in college football than we already are. All the good will we've garnered with Carnell's stint will vanish into laughter that Auburn actually hired a guy no other program besides Liberty would touch. WE FIRED GUS MALZAHN TO HIRE A LESSER VERSION. 

This is going to be the most unpopular hire Auburn football has made in the modern era and after we turn in another 5-6 win season next year, get ready for the media circus to repeat. 

Unreal. I had hoped Auburn was smarter than this, but everything they say about that danged AD is true. 

U actually thought we would be aligned? LOL... Come on man. When they passed on Hartwell and hired Cohen even Stevie Wonder could see it was bness as usual at  AU. All u had to do was see who the money man wanted. Freeze... It's just that simple.  All this bout being aligned from administration thru athletic dept was garden fertilizer... We got who the money man wanted to get

So we're cool for Art Briles as OC, then.  At least we'd win some games.

I mean 2nd chances right?!? Talk about an offensive juggernaut!

Didn't have one. I wanted Sanders said I'll support whoever we hire as long as they care about the players

I do think Hugh cares about his players.  I too wish we would have mixed it up with Prime.  Why not at this price point?  Hope he gets a good staff (OL especially). Now recruit like crazy with portal and Win!   Curious to hear from our players and recruits.

If you fart heads only knew what college men and women were doing now adays. You would move to Mars. Bunch of old asses.

 

[zeroforwinger 443]

Just really poor coaching search. If this is the best we can come up with, we should never have fired Gus. I’d rather have Coach Cadillac than Freeze. I don’t see how Cohen could be so blind to the optics here.

I’m out of reactions but for real. I wouldn’t wish any of these idealists to have their dirty laundry aired to the world.

But on average, he loses befween 4 and 5 games per season. That's the definition of  mediocre. He's not even an upgrade over Gus Malzahn.
