Let’s hope Hugh Freeze has discovered use his work telephone this time.
Six years after leaving Ole Miss beneath a cloud of scandal after utilizing a university-issued telephone to name escort providers, Freeze seems to be on his approach again to the SEC. Auburn has been speaking to the Liberty coach for over every week a few contract to change into its subsequent soccer coach, per ESPN’s Pete Thamel.
Regardless of hypothesis about present Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin — who trolled a reporter earlier within the week and stated he intends to remain in Oxford — it looks like Freeze will take over a job that has come beneath immense scrutiny as a consequence of an overriding feeling that Auburn’s boosters run its athletic division.
Auburn athletic director Allen Greene stepped away in August after reportedly being informed his standing can be determined after the soccer season. Coach Bryan Harsin was fired midseason following a two-year tenure through which Auburn went simply 9-12 and his refusal to be vaccinated made him a direct lightning rod for controversy.
Freeze, who left Ole Miss with a two-year bowl ban and NCAA probation, might now be requested to rebuild the Auburn program. Liberty is 8-3 this season.
After Auburn fired Gus Malzahn on the finish of the 2020 season, Freeze would be the third head coach in 4 years if he does certainly get the job. His contract with Liberty — signed in October and lasting eight seasons — figures to be a hurdle for Auburn.
In the meantime, hours after the information about Freeze and Auburn broke, Kiffin informed ESPN that he's signing an extension with Ole Miss.
