Auburn Tigers football coach Hugh Freeze won't be let go by AU before the bye week, ala the Arkansas Razorbacks' dismissal of Sam Pittman on Sunday. For now, DJ Durkin won't slide into the interim coaching role like Bobby Petrino did in Fayetteville.
For now is the operative phrasing, there.
The Tigers' 16-0 road loss to the Texas A&M Aggies on Saturday placed Freeze on the hot seat. The momentum is building for the program to part ways with the 56-year-old with the team on a two-game losing steak in SEC and hosting the Georgia Bulldogs after the bye.
