Freeze fired at the Barn

[Bama Lee]

Freeze gone

Will any players stay?

 

[CrimsonTusk]

Well dang lol.

 

[Tide&True]

Not a big surprise of course. I just wonder what happened with the Kentucky game. Did the players know as already?

 

[22Musso22]

They'll rally around their DC to give us a game...

 

[AlistarWills]

S.N.A.S.S.

 

[BamaMoon]

Come on over Cam Coleman!

 

[92tide]

did they roll toomer's?

Maybe or Maybe not.

They canned Harsin at the exact same point of the season in 2022.

Cadillac went 2-2 and 1-2 (SEC) and we beat them by 22 points.

This year they are just a bad team just like 2022.

They will most likely be limping into the IB with a 5-6 record.

I can’t remember if a team with a losing record has ever won the IB vs a Top 5 team but my guess would be that it’s never happened.

I checked the live webcam. Oddly enough there’s 3-4 strands from 1 tree.

Another over reaction from api. They had a great coach that beat Bama twice in his career. Oh well, yeller feller must be bleeding money about now. On a positive note, H. Nutt is available. Is he still alive?

 

[rolltide_21]

Well, I was hoping for a lifetime contract. He came in with a lot of hubris for a coach who hadn’t done much. I’m sure they think Lane will come asap.

Also, DJ Durkin has no business being an assistant coach much less a HC even if it’s an interim

Not a good decision by Auburn IMO. Auburn will be competing with several arguably more desirable schools in their quest for a coach. Shoulda' waited another year or two.

Gus Malzahn would be a good catch if they can swing it. Oh wait...

Like I said in another thread, the barn didn't have any good options.

Now they're in competition with at least two programs that are demonstrably more desirable than they are -- Penn State and Florida. If LSU wasn't as dysfunctional as they are with internecine skulduggery, they'd be in that list as well.

But the barn has its own internecine skullduggery, so maybe that offsets and puts LSU in the category of being a better job.

JABA. I'll get some popcorn and keep the TV on.

Charles Manson was available.

 

[mlh]

I was expecting this after they hung 3 on the mighty Kentucky defense.

Seriously, they need to get their hat in the ring. I'm sure more jobs will be open before the season ends. If they were planning to ditch Freeze at the end of the year, there's absolutely no reason not to go ahead and pull the plug.

The problem is that they couldn’t allow him to continue after last night. Had they lost to a decent Kentucky team or something respectable like 24-21 in a fluky game then maybe you could make an argument. But how that game actually played out was just inexcusable.

Think about this… Auburn fans would forgive him of all his losses if he were to beat Bama. Firing him after the Bama game if he were to win would be total chaos for Auburn. I think that is what they are trying to avoid.

It was the right decision but they may have waited 3 weeks too late to make it.

Couldn't happen to a nicer group of fans...

 

[colbysullivan]

They waited too long IMO and will be stuck with scraps. Oh well.
