Hugh Freeze and the Auburn Tigers: A Look at the SEC's New Coaching Hire
A Proven Winner at Ole Miss
Hugh Freeze has established himself as a top-tier coach in the SEC during his time at Ole Miss. In his five seasons with the Rebels, he led them to an impressive 39-25 record and three bowl appearances, including a Sugar Bowl victory in 2015. His teams were also known for their high-scoring offenses and stingy defenses.
A Strong Start to the Season
Freeze's first season with Ole Miss was a resounding success. The Rebels finished 6-6 in the regular season, including a 41-24 victory over rival Mississippi State in the Egg Bowl. This performance earned them a berth in the Music City Bowl, where they defeated the Louisville Cardinals 38-21.
A Tumultuous End at Ole Miss
Despite his early success at Ole Miss, Freeze's tenure ended abruptly in 2017 amid NCAA violations and a personal scandal. He resigned from his position and was subsequently banned by the NCAA from coaching for five years.
A Fresh Start at Auburn
After serving his NCAA suspension, Freeze was hired as the head coach of the Auburn Tigers in 2022. He inherits a program that has struggled in recent years, finishing with a losing record in five of the last six seasons. The Tigers are hoping that Freeze can bring his winning ways to Auburn and restore the program to its former glory.
