So I’m hearing this was about the culture. Staff and players had issues with him. Also why crime took a step back. Abusive language and just being disrespectful.

CK's defenses at FSU were ranked #9, #45, #29, #49  He's a good DC.  And he's an excellent recruiter.

Because he was leaving or because he might not be?

As you rightly described about HF, but CK is at AU now.  He'll make things orderly, at least on the defense side of the ball.

You left out other team rankings.

So did he leave of his own accord or was he dismissed as the thread title says?

Roberts needed to go for many reasons.   We gave up opening drive scores in 8 of our games this past year.   The 4th quarter against UGA...   The 4th and 31....   He may bet the only coordinator ever to give up a 4th and 31 game winning pass...  And, he was a cultural misfit.

I've got to believe he was forced out. Going to Florida at this point is like boarding a sinking ship.

From the end of the UGA game to the start of the LSU game, our defense gave up points on 7 straight drives...   I'm not sure that has ever happened before at AU.

It’s funny how fans always say to be patient with Freeze but fans don’t show that same patience with the coordinators. It takes time to get adjusted to a different team. 

Freeze has a lot going on right now that he needs to get sorted out, wayyy too much movement

Roberts is a good coach and did a good job with Auburn’s defensive roster…. But apparently, he is a difficult person to get along with and rubs the wrong people the wrong way.
