After Auburn dropped its fifth game of the season on Saturday vs. Kentucky, the program fired coach Hugh Freeze on Sunday, sources told Sports Illustrated’s Bryan Fischer. The firing was expected after the team’s 10-3 loss.
Freeze ends his nearly three-year tenure with the Tigers with a 15–19 overall record and a 6–16 record in the SEC. He posted a losing record in all three seasons. His buyout will be worth just over $15 million, Fischer reported. The Tigers will have a team meeting on Sunday afternoon.
