Description: The news is official — Hugh Freeze has been fired as head coach of Auburn Football. After weeks of frustration, inconsistency, and offensive collapse, Auburn made the move fans knew was coming. In this episode, we break down how it all went down, what went wrong, and what’s next for the Tigers under interim head coach DJ Durkin. Durkin inherits a locker room loaded with talent but facing uncertainty. From elite recruits like Kenyatta Watson and Will Campbell to veterans still fighting for the program, keeping this roster intact is priority number one. We discuss whether promoting Durkin full-time is Auburn’s best shot at stability — and why forcing a new head coach to retain staff could backfire. Mike dives deep into accountability, drawing a sharp contrast between the Freeze era’s lack of preparation and the Tuberville years, when Auburn built winners through discipline, development, and toughness. This isn’t just another firing — it’s a reality check for how Auburn Football rebuilds from here. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
