Social media reacts to Auburn’s hiring of Hugh Freeze

Here is what current players, recruits, and fellow coaches are saying about the hiring of Hugh Freeze.

Auburn has found its next head coach.

Athletic Director John Cohen elected to go the “SEC experience” route by hiring Hugh Freeze, the former Ole Miss head coach. Freeze won 39 games as the Rebels’ head coach from 2012-16 before a series of recruiting violations resulted in his resignation from the Ole Miss program.

He has since gotten back into coaching, as he led Liberty’s football program for four seasons prior to accepting the Auburn job. In four seasons in Lynchburg, Freeze built a record of 34-15, winning eight or more games in all four seasons.

After the announcement of Freeze’s hiring, those close to Freeze and the Auburn program shared their thoughts on Twitter.

Here are the top social media reactions to the hire from current and former Auburn players, commits, and fellow coaches.
