There was simply going to be no way back for Hugh Freeze with Auburn. Even before Saturday's game vs. Arkansas football, countless Tigers fans had been calling for him to get fired, as the season has not gone according to plan for Freeze and Co. in 2025.
Then, the wheels ALMOST fell off against the Razorbacks. Bobby Petrino and his players nearly had Arkansas in a spot to pull off a thrilling win against Auburn. Auburn was on the verge of falling to 3-5 on the year and a disturbing 0-5 in conference play.
