Word out of Aubarn is that Freeze is miserable

[Cruiser]

IMO if he loses against LA Monroe he probably will not be coaching Iron Bowl.

It would be a BAD look; since La Monroe is getting drubbed 28-0 at half by Texas State

With his buy-out he could invest in some Thai Massage chains.

We took the family to Thailand back in 2019... they took us to a thai massage place and they rolled me up like a pretzel and snapped me darn near in two. Felt good after the pain receded.

I have heard the end can be the best part.

Me I do not think they will lose to La Monroe

I doubt the barn can afford to fire Sleaze this year.

Probably not

When Auburn fired Gus Malzahn (buyout: $21.5 million) and Bryan Harsin (buyout: $15.6 million), contracts obligated Auburn to pay the axed coach half of their buyout within 30 days of their firing. With Freeze, If fired, they can spread out his buyout over 4 years.

Gus got all of his money. Harsin has about 4 million left. So technically, they can let Freeze go this year or next year.

Firing 3 coaches in a row is not a good look...especially on recruiting, not to mention the fanbase that is expected to financially support the program. I doubt they fire him, either...and I think he knows that.

And that's why he feels miserable.

FIFY. I think you forgot Tubs...

Sleaze would make it five.

I think they've fired every coach since Shug.

Since Jordan, the barn has fired seven consecutive HCs:

Barfield -- fired.
Dye -- fired as part of a settlement with a then-powerful NCAA
Bowden -- fired
Tuberville -- fired
Chizik -- fired
Malzahn -- fired
Harsin -- fired
Freeze -- ????

And that doesn't count two interim HCs that coached multiple regular season games -- Bill Oliver and Cadillac, or Kevin Steele who was interim HC for a bowl game.

Just suppose the barn and Freeze part ways this year or next. What sort of moron would take that job?

I know!!! Ed Orgeron. He's available, and he's a moron. But he's a moron who once beat Nick Saban. Meets all the job requirements. (Note: I debated on whether to use blue font...it was a close call, but I went with it)

The place truly defines dysfunctional.

Their dream coach, Petrino

I'm not so sure blue font is warranted here. There's a good chance you're right.

Excellent point. I think if you took a poll of aubie's fans he would be in the top 2. Right behind Urban Meyer.

 

[Redwood Forrest]

I agree, Hugh Freeze is a miserable human being.

 

[GrayTide]

If Pittman is fired (and I think he will be), I have a feeling that Petrino will be elevated to HC again. I think auburn has coveted Petrino since his time as an assistant there. The famous flight to Louisville to hire him fell through and Tubs remained their HC.

It would take an epic meltdown for the barn to lose to La Monroe. Possible, but I don't think likely.

I do think they will lose to aTm, and that we should note the margin of aTm's victory.

If it's a remotely competitive game, it means Freeze actually prepared for it. If it's a dope-slapping, it'll heavily indicate that he spent 2-3 weeks preparing for us.

Freeze knows he could go 1-11, and so long as that one is us, he's safe. I have no doubt that he spent the New Mexico State week last year preparing for us, which cost him an embarrassing loss. But the gambit almost worked. If we hadn't gotten stupid lucky, it would have.

 

[arthurdawg]

It is hilarious that the Barner family who is quick to claim they are good Christians probably have a two man list of ethically and morally compromised coaches in Urban and Bobby.

And they already have Freeze and Pearl...

They'd do better just getting a good solid guy who wasn't a sociopath to run their programs, but nobody in that category wants to deal with their crazy boosters.

You are most likely right...
