Auburn football fans all over Hugh Freeze after Liberty beats Arkansas
Auburn football fans liked what they saw when they check the final score of the Liberty-Arkansas game on November 5 in Fayetteville — this in the midst of Hugh Freeze being discussed as a possible Tigers head coaching option following the 2022 season.
Of course, Bryan Harsin was relieved of his duties on Halloween day following the implementation of Mississippi State athletic director John Cohen last weekend. It was a far from spooky development for anxious Tiger fans who were hoping for that for weeks, if not months.
Freeze’s name has been oft-mentioned even before Harsin’s firing, and the likelihood of him actually coming to the Plains is just behind Lane Kiffin but ahead of Deion Sanders in the current pecking order of prospective candidates.
Following a 21-19 Week 10 victory over Arkansas, Auburn football fans are high on the possibility of Freeze making the jump from coaching a Group of Five independent to leading one of the country’s most prolific Power Five programs on the Plains:
if Liberty wins this game - with a third string QB at Arkansas on their homecoming - i feel like we need to really take a good hard look at Hugh Freeze as AU HC

Auburn football could hedge Lane Kiffin not leaving Ole Miss with Hugh Freeze
If Ole Miss want to pay up and overcome their inability to hand out a contract longer than four years, Auburn football could hedge not getting Lane Kiffin with a Hugh Freeze hiring following an 8-1 start to the season for Liberty.
Knocking off Arkansas on the road a week after Auburn lost by two touchdowns to the Hogs at Jordan-Hare hammers home the point that Freeze has more coaching ability that the man he could potentially replace does.
