Auburn Names Hugh Freeze as Head Football Coach

Blaze Back to the Plains

Hugh Freeze has been named the 31st head football coach in Auburn's 129-year history. The announcement, which comes after an extensive search process following the dismissal of Bryan Harsin, signals a new era for the Auburn Tigers.

On the Rebound

Freeze, a former Ole Miss coach, brings a wealth of experience and success to the Plains. While at Ole Miss, he led the Rebels to a 10-3 record and a berth in the Sugar Bowl. Auburn hopes that Freeze can quickly restore the program to its former glory.

However, Freeze's hiring also comes with some baggage. He was forced out of Ole Miss in 2017 due to a series of NCAA violations. Despite these concerns, Auburn believes that Freeze has learned from his past mistakes and is ready to lead the Tigers to a brighter future.
