Auburn has “zeroed in” on Liberty’s Hugh Freeze in their head coaching search, SI’s Ross Dellenger reports, with the possibility that the two could reach an agreement by the end of the day. Earlier, Dellenger reported that Auburn was down to Freeze and Ole Miss’ Lane Kiffin, but since then the Tigers have focused on Freeze to fill their vacancy.
Additionally, according to ESPN’s Pete Thamel, Auburn and Freeze have talked contract details over the last week.
The news comes amid a number of rumors about Kiffin and Auburn, but Kiffin has maintained that he is not going anywhere despite potential interest.
