The Auburn Tigers and Hugh Freeze are a union that appears to be headed for a split at some point soon. At 0-4 in SEC play, and with Freeze's coaching continuing to appear unsuitable for winning -- between his signs being easy to steal, his accountability remaining minimal, and his insistence on running nearly every play through Jackson Arnold, who doesn't appear to be working out and could be replaced by Saturday -- change could finally be coming to the Plains.
And that change may look like Penn State Nittany Lions head football coach James Franklin, who could reportedly end up at or near the top of Auburn's wish-list this offseason if the program finally cuts ties with Freeze.
