Auburn officially hires Hugh Freeze as head coach

FAYETTEVILLE, ARKANSAS - NOVEMBER 05: Head Coach Hugh Freeze of the Liberty Flames on the sidelines during a game against the Arkansas Razorbacks at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium on November 5, 2022 in Fayetteville, Arkansas. The Flames defeated the Razorbacks 21-19. Auburn announced Monday that it has hired Freeze, the ex-Ole Miss coach who most recently served as the head coach at Liberty. Auburn has been looking for a coach since firing Bryan Harsin during the middle of the season.

Freeze resigned from Ole Miss ahead of the 2017 season after it was revealed he made calls to escorts from his Ole Miss phone. That discovery came as part of a defamation suit by former Ole Miss coach Houston Nutt against the school after he claimed Freeze was lying about Nutt’s role in NCAA violations.The Rebels were 5-7 in Freeze’s final season with the school.

This year’s Liberty squad started the season 8-1 and lost by one to Wake Forest in Week 3. The eighth win of the season came in a 21-19 game at Arkansas, but the Flames ended up losing their last three games of the season to UConn, Virginia Tech and New Mexico State.
