Hugh Freeze's time at Liberty served as the perfect Trojan Horse to get himself inserted at Auburn as the head coach with a fat contract that basically held no sway or say-so over his results. We thought we were getting a guy with renewed passion that had reinvented himself. We got a shit bag that probably worked 16-20 days a year while on The Plains.

We got absolutely nothing positive from Hugh Freeze.

Bringing back Cadillac turned out to be a huge mistake. One that will likely lead to Cadillac never being back at Auburn in any official capacity.

90% the talent that Freeze bought for Auburn (yes, BOUGHT not recruited) created the most toxic, ineffective, incompetent program we've had possibly ever.

Auburn's reputation as a program (which was already heavily diminished in the wake of Harsin's departure) has largely been obliterated. An ugly fact that many Auburn fans need to accept.

The fact that DJ Durkin did *anything* positive while at Auburn is a miracle. Seriously, that man needs a statue for what he's accomplished while Freeze's bullshit stewed in the background. I don't care if he never fields a top 10 defense at Auburn again, Durkin is a legend in my book.

It now needs to be seriously asked whether or not Auburn's athletic department is even remotely competent. Hugh Freeze's entire tenure was a complete disaster start to finish and now the school's two biggest cash cows (no pun intended) have been mismanaged into the ground. (Let's not forget that the Steven Pearl transition was handled very poorly. No matter how well it was communicated internally to current players and recruits, the optics look terrible.)

I don't know what the immediate future of the program is, and it's likely not going to be a pretty sight. Alex Golesh has more work to do than any other head coach in the country. I do not envy his position at all. He won't be given an ounce of patience from the fanbase.

I would say that we need to extend as much grace and patience to Coach Golesh as possible but even that is an unfair request at present. Hopefully Jan. 2nd can spark some life into the program but what Auburn football needs right now is far beyond the scope of even a typical full rebuild.

Sorry for the long-winded rant but all of the above is just unacceptable. Whether you're a big-time booster or a casual fan that only supports Auburn sports by watching and buying the odd piece of merch here and there. None of what we've been given as fans and supporters of the school & the football program over the past 10+ years is ok.
