The Auburn football program is having a rebuilding year, and there’s no doubt about that. After a two-year downward spiral under the leadership of Bryan Harsin, the Tigers have flipped the page and officially begun the Hugh Freeze era on the Plains.
But it isn’t as simple as just changing coaches. The team is dealing with a massive overhaul, with a large number of new players, new schemes to learn, and a new culture that is laying the foundations for the future. While most Auburn football fans are hopeful that this season will see major improvement from the previous two, the bar is pretty low for Freeze’s first season.
