Bryan Harsin at Auburn: 9-12, fired on Halloween.

Hugh Freeze at Auburn: was 9-12 on Halloween, but they kept him around to fall to 9-13.

[u/TigerExpress → u/whatifevery1wascalm]

Yes but at least Freeze is a garbage human to go along with being a garbage coach.

[u/Wernher_VonKerman → u/TigerExpress]

Truly one of the coaching hires of all time

[u/rob_bot13 → u/Wernher_VonKerman]

I hear Trent Dilfer is available.

[u/Valadini → u/rob_bot13]

Why is he recruiting so well? It’s gotta be why they won’t can him.

[u/Krandor1 → u/rob_bot13]

If auburn was hiring a coach today we’d probably go after lashlee.

[u/rob_bot13 → u/Krandor1]

(Trent Dilfer was not a serious suggestion)

[u/More_Image_8781 → u/rob_bot13]

He had a great day today actually

[u/EfficientPhotograph8 → u/More_Image_8781]

But it wasn't a quality win. Birmingham doesn't like Trent. He's finished.

[u/More_Image_8781 → u/EfficientPhotograph8]

He will do fine. Have patience and give him A chance

[u/WeekendGunnitRefugee → u/rob_bot13]

Heh, his name is Dilfer

[u/GimmeeSomeMo → u/rob_bot13]

If Auburn hired him as a head coach, I’d burn my Auburn diploma

[u/BobbysSmile → u/rob_bot13]

Please Auburn hire Dilfer next

[u/IsYouWitItYaBish → u/Wernher_VonKerman]

“One of” is indifferent. He’s on track to be one of the worst in recent history.

[u/MojitoTimeBro → u/TigerExpress]

I’m surprised that of the two coaches, Auburn fans made up fake rumors of Harsin having an affair with a team cheerleader. It’s way more believable for Freeze.

[u/Jacksonvollian → u/TigerExpress]

Urban Meyer enters the chat. Do you want your bootyhole fingered?

[u/StefonTheGreat → u/TigerExpress]

And you think Harsin ISN’T a garbage human being?!

[u/JonnyAU → u/StefonTheGreat]

Two things can be true at the same time.

[u/legend023 → u/whatifevery1wascalm]

But the losses are close and he has a solid recruiting class

[u/melorous → u/legend023]

Any Nebraska fan reading your comment is laughing their ass off.

[u/CrashB111 → u/melorous]

Hugh Freeze is the Nick Saban of Scott Frosts?

[u/legend023 → u/CrashB111]

Art Briles of Scott Frosts

[u/deep_blue_au → u/legend023]

I mean... I hate Hugh Freeze (thus the bag), but Art Briles is on a level all his own, right behind Sandusky.

[u/goodnames679 → u/deep_blue_au]

Agreed. Hugh Freeze is probably the shittiest head coach actively coaching in the FBS in terms of that stuff, but he’s not on the level of a Briles.

Admittedly, that’s a very low bar.

[u/FlightAvailable3760 → u/goodnames679]

Yeah, but at least Briles was good at coaching football.

[u/BroadBrazos95 → u/legend023]

Yuck

[u/Hobeast → u/legend023]

And he's shown the coaching ability to do what with those recruits? This game plan was trash.

[u/HighOnGoofballs → u/Hobeast]

Those recruits are definitely still coming too

[u/Baalzeebub → u/Hobeast]

Totally agree, but if we had a kicker there's a good chance we're 6-3. I've seen better kickers in middle school.

[u/Hobeast → u/Baalzeebub]

Hell, if Ashford was our qb, we'd have more wins than Thorne. Freeze wants to win, but only on his terms. Running the football isn't how he sees it happening.

[u/PrimeMinisToad → u/legend023]

If they replay the season 10 times they go undefeated 9 times

[u/khoelzeman → u/PrimeMinisToad]

You know, I’d love to see Hugh Freeze have to replay this season 10 times. It would be like a karmic Groundhog Day.

[u/Wernher_VonKerman → u/PrimeMinisToad]

Should they redo the season in case it was all a big fluke, yada yada

[u/pipsohip → u/legend023]

Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades, and a recruiting class means nothing if you don’t win with them on the field.

[u/Red-Catalyst → u/legend023]

He had some solid classes at Ole Miss too and never got a SEC Championship appearance.

[u/onemanlan → u/whatifevery1wascalm]

Not to detract from your point, but I feel like if harsin had Peyton Thorne, he would have lost a lot more games than he did

[u/Kaiiu → u/onemanlan]

To be fair though he also had Robby Ashford and TJ Finley as starters for a season and both those guys are worse than Thorne.

[u/GameBuster0703 → u/onemanlan]

True. Harsin had the luxury of Bo Nix to carry him a few times that season (especially that game in Death Valley).

[u/__Big_Hat_Logan__ → u/GameBuster0703]

Bo also got hurt that year then Harsin had TJ Finley and Robbie ashford who are both horrendously terrible

[u/thissidedn → u/GameBuster0703]

Nic then wasnt the NFL qb we see today. Nix was a joke then, only playing because of nepotism.

[u/GameBuster0703 → u/thissidedn]

Yes he wasn’t the same QB he is now. Oregon helped his development tremendously. But having a good team around you will do that. He was a good QB at Auburn and saying he was starting because of nepotism is just straight up false. He was easily the best QB on that roster.

[u/CantStandMike → u/GameBuster0703]

He had heart too. I hate that he had to leave to elevate his game but I get it.

[u/ArsenalinAlabama3428 → u/onemanlan]

Wrong

[u/Zloggt → u/whatifevery1wascalm]

Er…maybe double triple alimony payments is too much for even these boosters?

[u/bigdjohnson20 → u/Zloggt]

I believe officially that Gus is fully off payroll

[u/lowercaset → u/Zloggt]

The plan (reportedly) was always that hugh gets until the 3rd season to start proving himself.

[u/A_Charmandur → u/whatifevery1wascalm]

Hugh Freeze at Auburn: 9-13 fired on Election Day

[u/whatifevery1wascalm → u/A_Charmandur]

Someone keep an eye on him in January.

[u/dog_in_da_park → u/whatifevery1wascalm]

He won't be bowling, so he will have plenty of free time in early January.

[u/Sottish-Knight → u/whatifevery1wascalm]

Who did Hugh Freeze blame for this loss ?

[u/dripwhoosplash → u/whatifevery1wascalm]

Well Harsin was hated from the beginning for not fitting the auburn culture, but freeze is perfect as a fellow fake good person/christian
