Auburn football HC Hugh Freeze defends play-calling plans for 2025

Heading into his third season on the Plains, Auburn football head coach Hugh Freeze knows the pressure is on. After bringing in two back-to-back top 10 recruiting classes but producing two mediocre records, something has got to change in year three.

However, Freeze recently shared some information about the Tigers' play-calling plans for the 2025 season, and many were less than impressed. Rather than having one person in charge, several staffers, including quarterbacks coach Kent Austin and offensive coordinator Derrick Nix, will contribute to the decision-making process.

Having multiple people "in charge" doesn't sound too appealing to many people, and one USA Today writer even went so far as to say Freeze deserved to be fired for the approach.
