Hugh Freeze has been named the new head football coach at Auburn University. Freeze comes to Auburn with an overall record of 83-43 and is 21-23 against SEC teams. He has led his teams to 11 bowl games, including three New Year's Six bowls. Freeze's teams have also won three conference championships, including two Sun Belt titles.

Freeze's most recent stop was at Liberty University, where he led the Flames to a 34-15 record in four seasons. Before that, he was the head coach at Ole Miss from 2012 to 2016. Freeze was fired from Ole Miss after the NCAA found that he had violated multiple rules, including academic fraud and failure to monitor his players.

Despite his off-field issues, Freeze is considered a good coach. He has a strong track record of success at the collegiate level, and he is known for his ability to develop quarterbacks. Freeze is also a good recruiter, and he is expected to bring in a talented recruiting class to Auburn.

Auburn is hoping that Freeze can lead them to their first national championship since 2010. The Tigers have been competitive in recent years, but they have not been able to get over the hump. Freeze has a proven track record of success, and he is the right coach to lead Auburn to the next level.
