Not a level headed person on this board cares about this conversation anymore. You and everyone else have shared their thoughts on this issue until blue in the face. It's time to move on. Support our head coach and our team. That's not hard to ask These conversations aren't going to stop and you're going to keep seeing them both on this board and in the media and in other areas where college football is discussed for a good long time to come. This is part of what a school and it's fans gets and has to accept whenever the hire Hugh Freeze. Hugh Freeze and controversy are a package deal. You better get used to it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I won't, and no we don't. We've had this conversation ad nauseum by now. Continuing to bring it up here only serves as an attempt to continually divide this board. If you want to have this conversation with your friends and family, that's one thing. And I'm happy to have it with mine. But this issue has become a dead horse here, and it's time to let it rest. We get that some on here will never accept him and believe he should never be given a second chance, and nothing will sway them. So why keep saying the same things over and over? 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just be prepared because you're gonna see this stuff continually brought up through the media and from our rivals for years to come. It's what AU signed itself and its fanbase up for by choosing to hiring Freeze. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The world, and esp. Americans can not keep their attention on anything more than a few weeks. I see way more Auburn fans bringing this stuff up than ALL other school combined. Much harder attacks against Auburn and Freeze by Auburn fans than even the most rude bama fans. No one outside of Auburn fans really cares. They have more important things and their own teams to worry about. As much as I love Auburn, I realize we are not the center of the NCAA football world.

It's obvious to a thinking individual that it's divisive when it's beaten to death as an issue and people still want to bring it up, especially when the point is to unify behind the head coach. Do I really have to explain this to you? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s dividing, because so much of what people have been saying is easily proven to be rumors or outright falsities. If people can’t use facts to make their case, then in the eyes of most rational people, there is no case. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If u watched the press conference they mention a thorough investigation was done and talked to people. Since he had some baggage I am sure they went above and beyond to fact check things. Unless u think the university is lying u have to take them for their word of doing due diligence in this hiring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the more we learn about him, the easier it will be to defend though Unify behind the team; sure. This players and the staff didn't do what Freeze did. But you expect me to "defend" this guy? Really? That's the standard here. I have to defend cheating, infidelity, lying, misuse of government property, hookers and having so little maturity he doesn't understand the risk he runs by engaging in a conversion of legal adversaries of his institution when that is not his role; and can only further damage, damaged goods; or his institution...if I don't defend this, then I am divisive? Seriously dude.... I can't "forgive" Freeze; that's not my place as he didn't do anything to me. That's for his family. It looks like they have. Fine. I am glad he was making over $4m a year at Liberty and was happy there apparently. He should be very thankful he had that gig and his family stuck by him. That doesn't mean I need to feel some compunction to hire the guy or have him associate with the Auburn athletic program. Why would I wish him on some other parents kids when I wouldn't want him hanging around my own...he's not a role model. What really chaps my ass is we've been lied to. This whole thing around we're going big game hunting was BS. He said we'd been talking to him for weeks. There was no search. Cohen is no different than the last cast of clown administrators. You don't conduct a thorough search of all the available talent and land here. We're going to hear about this every time Auburn is mentioned on every sports network in perpetuity....we're playing the opening game next year and the 1st thing you will hear from the commentators is not; "it's a new day on the plains"...it will be all about Auburn's disgraced head coach.....embroiled in sex assault case against the university...hookers...scandal...NCAA violations...they'll have a field day with it. Get used to it. It ain't going away just because it makes some of you uncomfortable. I'm not going to defend this.

Eagle Eye 7 2,535 Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 When someone owns their mistake and apologizes for it and spends the next 4 years doing things right then it’s time to move in because we have all sone things we shouldn’t have. Freeze paid for his mistakes and his wife has forgiven him. Nothing happened at LU that involved Freeze . The woman complaining is complaining that Freeze spoke up for the AD at liberty and said He was a good guy. Nothing wrong with that. I am not downing the young lady but You can’t blame Hugh for standing up for a friend . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
