Hugh Freeze has gotten offers to join several programs around the country since the Auburn Tigers fired the head football coach on November 2 following a pathetic 10-3 loss to the Kentucky Wildcats at Jordan-Hare Stadium, but he hasn't acted on them. He may sit the 2026 season out, though he admitted to On3's Justin Hokanson that he's got the competitive itch to return to coaching.
Regardless of whether Freeze returns to the sport next year, he made it clear he'll be tuned into the Tigers because he's paying attention to the moves his replacement, Alex Golesh, is making in his absence.
