The last time the Auburn Tigers hired a football coach they turned to one with no Power Five, much less SEC experience. They did not want to make that mistake again.
Auburn turned to [autotag]Hugh Freeze[/autotag], a proven head coach with a knack for rebuilding programs and taking them to new heights.
In an On3 article written by Grant Grubbs, the idea of what Freeze brings to the table is explored.
Freeze has won at every stop he has made.
The 53-year-old coach landed his first head position at the collegiate level at Lambuth in 2008 where he spent two seasons and went 20-5.
Arkansas State hired Freeze as its offensive coordinator in 2010 before promoting him to head coach in 2011. He led the Red Wolves to a 10-2 record and a Sunbelt Conference championship.
The SEC was up next when the Ole Miss Rebels hired Freeze in 2012. During his five seasons in Oxford, Freeze led the Rebels to a 39-25 record.
Freeze took over the Liberty Flames in 2019 and Freeze built a winner once again. In his four seasons with the program, the Flames went 34-15.
The answer to the question is an experienced coach with a proven record of success. That is what Auburn fans hop Freeze can bring to the table.
