He must be one of the silent billionaires backing AU that WDE mentions. I’ve never even seen where Tim Cook cared one fig about athletics, but I guess that’s the whole point of staying silent in the background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s hard to explain and talk about things he is doing on a message board but I’m impressed so far. Some little things that matter big with recruiting. He damn sure gets it. Freeze appears the type of coach/person who would drive down to the Athletic complex on a Sunday afternoon if a nice recruit showed up unexpectedly. Even if it put a crimp in afternoon plans.

I think that goes to show how much respect he had for Auburn/Gus in past and possibly how much he coveted the job. People scoffed when he was hired and they will always scoff but we landed a diamond in the rough IMO we're lucky he didn't end up at another program on the same level or above us. When I say little things, it's things like remembering something that he was told by a recruit, family names, stuff like this that really matter. His memory of things like this is extortionary I'm told. He has to remind his good recruiters stuff about kids all the time and expects them to find out more about the kid and his family. Dye could also do this. It's a unique talent a lot of people don't have. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a great quality to have at a place like Auburn, it just makes him "fit" better here than most because at Auburn it's all about Family. Any way he chooses to ingratiate himself to the nation's top talent and get them signed in December is a positive for AU. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auburn benefits from having the Right Reverand Hugh Freeze. Every program operates with whatever gives them the upper hand. Selling faith, family, football works and so does selling a stocked trophy case and a clear path to the NFL, etc. I believe Hugh knows what sells Auburn and he uses what he has in his arsenal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
