Auburn Hires Hugh Freeze as New Head Football Coach
After Exhaustive Search, Harsin's Replacement Found
Freeze Led Liberty to Four Bowl Games, Returns to SEC After Scandal
Auburn Athletics Director John Cohen has announced the hiring of Hugh Freeze as the program's 31st head football coach. The move comes after a thorough search process following the firing of Bryan Harsin.
Freeze brings an impressive resume to Auburn, having led Liberty to four bowl games in his five seasons at the helm. He possesses a 103-47 overall record and is known for his fast-paced, offensive approach.
Freeze's return to the SEC comes after his departure from Ole Miss in 2017 amidst a scandal. However, he has since rebuilt his coaching career at Liberty, leading them to consistent success and national recognition.
Auburn's decision to hire Freeze is a bold one, given his past, but the program is hopeful that he can lead them back to prominence in the SEC and on the national stage. The Tigers have struggled in recent years, and Freeze's offensive expertise and proven track record of winning are seen as the keys to their revival.
