CHF should remove ANY and EVERY coach that he feels necessary for his success! Just because Caddy is LOVED by our fan base doesn’t mean that he can’t be replaced as a coach! Replacing him doesn’t make him a bad person or less of a coach! i am sure it is often a tuff call to let folks go but at the end of the day it is freezes behind on the line so to speak. so i believe he will do what he has to for those glory days we all seek. and if hugh fails i feel like we will be loaded and will leave the next coach something to work with.

Exactly! 2 or more things can be true at once. There seems to be a lot of trolls and malcontents in here that will throw mud at EVERYTHING Auburn! I support AUBURN UNIVERSITY and not past players and coaches! I’ve had to let long term employees go for not doing what the organization needed! They were good people, but they didn’t buy into moving the company forward. It’s never, or shouldn’t be, easy to let people go, even when necessary! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably why it is being handled delicately and he's being allowed to find another job on his own (per the rumors) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TitanTiger 20,561 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 A general bulletin for everyone here. Solid information on this doesn't really exist. A whole lot of rumor and speculation at best, some of which might be true and some of which is made up or who knows. As a mod/admin staff, we're going to be very conservative on throwing out or allowing specifics on what this may be about. Just not going to indulge salacious stuff with little/no backing to it. So if your post goes poof and it's related to these rumors, just know that's why. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metafour 4,969 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 4 hours ago, e808 said: Do you recall that long winded speech he gave about Caddy when CHF came on. Then even have Caddy to give the team a motivational pregame speech. Only to come back to say Caddy doesn’t fit his plan. This really doesn’t make much sense to me but I am not making millions to make these decisions if true. Maybe Caddy moves on voluntarily. Let’s see what happens Given how last season concluded and that stupid fan-driven attempt at pumping Caddy into the HC spot, it was very obvious that Freeze was backed into keeping him on the staff and singing his praises to appease that whole situation from an optics perspective. You are kind of missing that major part of the story. Now that we are past that whole saga, we are at a point where these two parties can go their own ways if that is the choice that is being made. This isn't the first time this type of scenario has played out (new incoming HC retains some fan-favorite coach on the staff, then a year or two later a change is made). If Freeze is actually going for Derrick Nix as his in-title OC then the picture seems very clear here. Nix is a RB or WR coach. They obviously aren't canning Marcus Davis, and Nix can't coach QB's which is now void with the dismissal of Montgomery. So what's the move? Kent Austin to the staff as QB coach and Nix as OC/RB is the most obvious play. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then on top of that after the team laid an egg, use the man to give the team a pep talk before the game if he doesn’t share the same vision. Definitely didn’t think he should get the head coaching job. Just for that short stint he was able to get the team to look competent in every game. Like mentioned above ultimately CHF has to do what he sees for best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank2020 3,228 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 A little off topic but Bama retooling entire coaching staff will raise the going tate for all of them. They will have to open up the checkbook to get any good ones to come on board with historical data on coaching staffs following great coaching staffs thT retire. Nobody wants to be that staff.
