To say is all about money is just silly and naïve. Auburn could probably pay Freeze similar to what he is making at Liberty and he’d still crawl here from VA. Its all the other things that makes the job enticing to him. His daughter and her husband also live in Auburn so he has ties to the area. As for the other candidates listed, the only one I could see not having a lot of interest is Lanning since he just got to Oregon and honestly he is the one with the most risk to me as he has been an HC one year and it would take Kiffin like money probably to get him. Kiffen: Recruiting, NIL, facilities, better chance at championships Prime: Has said repeatedly he’d have to look at P5 jobs and Auburn’s proximity to ATL plus all the other incentives….NIL, facilities, etc. Also, for better exposure for his son, if he’s going to make a move now is the best time for Shedeur to give him two years in the P5. Plus I’m pretty sure just to prove his haters wrong who say he’s not ready to make the leap to P5. He is. Grimes: A shot at HC at a top SEC program that he has familiarity with. To say none of those candidates would have interest just doesn’t mesh with fact. Each aside from possibly Lanning has multiple reasons why a move to Auburn would be enticing. And I would be content with every single one of these guys 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we’re in a 5* arms race today. Gus got mauled and freeze is next. Freeze is not an elite recruiter, especially today. More bad press (which further hurts recruiting),upsetting many fans and endless debates. All for …. freeze. But he’s your guy. The 3 year get/feel better against arky/msu then hit the uga wall cycle continues. Amazing to watch. NIL evens the arms race out. If you got the cash you can buy all the 5 stars you want.

The team he just beat had knocked Auburn all over our home field the previous Saturday. It was dang sure a pretty good audition. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autan 811 Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 I'm warming (maybe "thawing") to Freeze. 8-1 with only a 1 point loss at Wake Forest. Some said he was overrated and gave much of the credit to Malik Willis. Well MW is gone and CDHF is still cranking out the W's. And he would probably be less expensive than most of the other candidates. We could do a lot worse. He knows Auburn, he knows SEC, and he knows the culture. I think Freeze could get us back to relevance and prominence pretty quick . I like Kiffen, but he could lead us down the Primrose "Lane". 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that was on a failed 2-point conversion in the final 2 minutes of the game. Gotta like that aggression on the road. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
