Auburn has fired Hugh Freeze as its head football coach after three unsuccessful seasons. The Tigers will now have to pay the 56-year-old coach a significant chunk of change to walk away.
Freeze was hired on November 29, 2022, after four excellent years at Liberty. The former Ole Miss head coach took over the Flames’ program and brought it to prominence, most notably with a 10-1 season in 2020, which got the team ranked in the top 20. He won eight games in each of his three other seasons.
