This is not a joke accomplishment and belittling it is bizarre. SI and ESPN would be all over this (and rightly so) if it were Neutered Dame, Bama, Texas or USC. Far from an irrelevant accomplishment by Hugh & staff. I haven't read any comments here belittling this 2024 recruiting class or what the staff accomplished by bringing this class in. What a few here are pointing out, myself included, is the Auburn athletics PR team has put out multiple things and stats, as fact the past year or so and they're totally wrong. This certain graphic says that "of the active SEC coaches, Hugh Freeze had the highest ranked recruiting class for their first year." That's not true. Kirby Smart's first recruiting class at Georgia ranked 3rd. Brian Kelly's first recruiting class at LSU ranked 5th. Also, if they want to count Sarkisian and Venables as active SEC coaches now, their first classes ranked 3rd and 5th. That's not belittling Hugh's accomplishments or this staffs accomplishments. What it is doing is calling out our PR team for putting out graphics claiming something as fact when its quickly proven to be wrong. If Auburn put out a graphic saying "Congrats to Hugh Freeze. His first season at Auburn finished 6-7 overall, which is the best first season by any active SEC coach." If you call that out as being misinformation, is that also belittling? To alot of people it looks as if our PR/social media team doesn't fact check their stuff or proofread anything. It's been this way for well over a year now.

With that being said, of course he deserves credit for what he did in a short turnaround and I think majority of posters have given him that credit.

ScotsAU 1,343 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 (edited) Less of a social media fail than this one was, but the Auburn Football Facebook just posted a “Good Luck Prince Tega” more than 24 hours after he was ruled out to play in the Super Bowl. Our social media department has been very underwhelming lately. You would think that there was someone on staff who has the duty to fact check everything that gets posted to the official social media outlets…🙄 Edited February 11 by ScotsAU 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
