November 11, 2025 Hugh Freeze Failed Auburn, Yet His Era Offers Valuable Lessons
When Auburn hired Hugh Freeze, the hope was revival — offensive innovation, recruiting momentum, and a return to SEC contention. Instead, it ended in disappointment, inconsistency, and another hard reset on the Plains.
In this episode, we break down why the Freeze era failed, how it revealed deeper issues within Auburn’s program culture, and most importantly, what the university can learn moving forward. From leadership misalignment and scheme stagnation to lessons in hiring strategy and fit, this conversation goes beyond the scoreboard to uncover the real takeaways from the Hugh Freeze experiment.

November 05, 2025 Debunking the ‘Bad Job’ Myth: The Truth About Auburn Football
The national media keeps pushing the same tired story about Auburn football — that it’s a “bad job,” that fans are too impatient, and that coaches aren’t given time to succeed. In this episode, I push back on that narrative head-on. I break down why those claims don’t hold up, and I specifically address recent comments made by Chris Low and Joel Klatt, who’ve both added fuel to the misconceptions surrounding the Auburn program. It’s time to set the record straight and remind everyone what makes Auburn one of the most passionate and powerful programs in college football.
