Auburn Tigers football coach Hugh Freeze's program hasn't played any games yet in 2025, but USA Today's Matt Hayes has already seen enough of the 55-year-old and believes his play-calling arrangement -- splitting play-calling duties by down between himself, Derrick Nix, and Kent Austin and owning the power to overrule them at anytime -- would justify a firing.
Hayes believes "it's just not going to work" on the Plains with Freeze in charge.
"It's just not going to work. The college football season hasn't even begun, and the Hugh Freeze experiment at Auburn is all but over," Hayes wrote.
