The Auburn Tigers are 2-5 overall this season and they are 1-4 in SEC Conference play. This weekend, they will be facing the Ole Miss Rebels. Also, head coach Hugh Freeze has been in the news for many reasons this season for Auburn.

Very recently, he said to the media:

“‘I’ve made up my mind, I’ve got to be who I am.”

This is about coaching harder in the transfer era. There has been a lot of player movement across college sports.

Fans React To Auburn Tigers Head Coach Hugh Freeze’s Comments

It is no surprise that fans have been critical of Auburn’s coaches’ comments for the 2024 college football season. It is no different in this situation. Here is what they had to say about it:

Paying for players like Ole Miss? If you ain’t cheating, you ain’t trying

1.5 seasons in and he now decides to be the coach that he was hired to be.

Only took him 18 games of mediocrity to come to that decision?! Yeah, I’m not buying it. You’re a garbage coach, garbage husband, and likely a garbage father as well. Nice visor.

There were some other harsh comments from the Tigers fanbase about Freeze. It will be interesting to see where he goes moving forward with recruiting and also the transfer portal.

Need To Close the Talent Gap

If the Tigers want to get on the level of the Georgia Bulldogs, the Texas Longhorns, and the Alabama Crimson Tide in the SEC Conference, they are going to need to find the necessary players in the transfer portal and recruitment. They will need to pay players more money.

Auburn fans are tired of the bad play in the SEC Conference. Outside of the 2010 regular season and 2013 regular season, have they been relevant in college football at any other point? This is why Freeze needs to turn it around sooner rather than later because this fanbase is going to continue to be restless about it.
