As the Auburn football team won their Week 1 matchup against Baylor, 17-16, it was a close game that featured a frustrating performance from quarterback Byrum Brown.
After Hugh Freeze’s tenure, in which it felt like the Auburn Tigers never seemed to rush the ball effectively when it mattered, Alex Golesh’s opening message
The Auburn Tigers are working desperately to right the ship after several straight seasons of disappointment under head coaches Bryan Harsin and Hugh Freeze, and many are beginning to believe that new head coach Alex Golesh is the man for the job.
How many of the FBS college football teams with an animal nickname can you name?
The Auburn Tigers have been on one of the worst stretches in program history since 2020, as the team has not turned in a winning season since before COVID-19’s horrific run on the sport and the globe.
College football has historically been known as a sport that caters to the elite. It is very difficult to win a national championship if you aren't Notre Dame, Alabama, Ohio State, or a host of other schools that have great programs that invest heavily in keeping them at the top.
The Auburn Tigers have had plenty of change from the beginning of 2025 to 2026. One of the mainstays in the program has been at defensive coordinator with DJ Durkin. Durkin was thrust into the interim head coaching role after former head coach Hugh Freeze was fired at the beginning of November.
About this time last year, former Auburn Tigers head coach Hugh Freeze told the press that he was asking Auburn’s top-level defense to take it easy on his transfer quarterback, Jackson Arnold, as the Oklahoma transfer was still building his confidence after a weak year with the Sooners.
Lord knows I am far from Hugh Freeze’s biggest fan, or, really, any kind of fan of his at all, but even I have to admit that he absolutely cleaned house when it came to recruiting for the Auburn Tigers.
When Alex Golesh was first hired as the head coach of the Auburn Tigers, there was quite a bit of concern that he would not be able to recruit at the level Hugh Freeze was famous for, even if Freeze’s approach did not seem to garner a whole lot of success for the program.
Auburn is widely regarded as one of the most prestigious programs in college football, but the past several seasons their play has been far from expectations.
The Auburn Tigers have one of the most coveted job openings in the coaching carousel after firing head coach Hugh Freeze during his third season. He finished his tenure with a 15-19 record and never achieved a winning season at the school.
Coaching changes happen every year, but they don't all happen the same way. We have had some wild offseason coaching moves in recent seasons, and 2025-2026 wasn't any different.
A few weeks ago, Auburn made a big change weeks before the Iron Bowl, firing Hugh Freeze after losing to Kentucky and scoring only 3 points. The Tigers named DJ Durkin interim head coach. Durkin served as the defense coordinator under Freeze before being named interim head coach.
The Auburn Tigers let go of Hugh Freeze on Nov. 2, a day after losing to the Kentucky Wildcats 10-3 and starting the season 4-5. He finished his time with the program, going 15-19 and 0-1 in bowl games.
It's no secret that former Auburn head coach Hugh Freeze has dealt with health issues over the past years. But not even surgery has kept him from coaching his teams in the past.
The Auburn Tigers fired Hugh Freeze as head coach on Sunday after a series of mediocre on-field results. However, some of his off-field habits were just as frustrating to the school.
Now that the Tigers have ripped the Band-Aid off, they can't afford to miss on their next head coach.
Less than a day after the Auburn Tigers suffered a 10-3 home loss to Kentucky, Auburn athletic director John Cohen announced that head coach Hugh Freeze would be let go immediately, with defensive coordinator DJ Durkin to serve as interim for the remainder of the season.
Auburn has fired head coach Hugh Freeze after two-plus seasons, multiple media outlets reported on Sunday. The report comes one day after the Tigers (4-5, 1-5 Southeastern Conference) dropped a 10-3 decision to Kentucky.
Another SEC head coach job has opened up. Auburn fired head coach Hugh Freeze on Sunday, according to multiple reports. The decision comes in the wake of a 10-3 loss to Kentucky on Saturday, which was the Tigers’ fifth in their last six games.
The college football coaching carousel is alive and well. Just one week after Brian Kelly was fired from LSU, it's now the Auburn Tigers' turn to make a coaching move.
Freeze was fired on Sunday after a disappointing tenure at Auburn. Here are five potential replacements.
It's hard to find a reason for Freeze to keep his job at this point.
I’m all about giving someone an extra chance to prove themselves, but there is a limit to that generosity. Auburn head coach Hugh Freeze hit that limit last night after the Tigers lost 10-3 at home to Kentucky.
Things hit a new low for Auburn football under head coach Hugh Freeze on Saturday night. The Tigers entered this weekend 11.5-point favorites over Kentucky, but the Wildcats escaped with a 10-3 win in Jordan-Hare Stadium.
Auburn hired Hugh Freeze because he was supposed to be an offensive-minded quarterback guru. Now in his third season, the offense continues to flounder while the Tigers have compiled a 15-18 record.
Quarterback competitions are won and loss in spring ball and in fall camp. That's a pretty consistent idea all the way through high school football to the NFL, but there is one college football team that finds itself hosting a competition with just four games to go in the 2025 season.
