“FIRE HUGH FREEZE NOW! I have been an Auburn fan since 1966, even thru the Barfield years, but it is more frustrating now than ever. I used to feel like we would find a way to win. Now I feel like we will invent a way to lose,” a fan said.

Auburn has started 0-4 in the SEC every year in the Freeze era, and fans’ frustration continues to grow around him.

“If Hugh Freeze has any honor or virtue, he would resign and forfeit the buyout, an admission that he hasn’t earned one penny of it. RESIGN or be fired,” one said.
“Hugh Freeze needs to be fired ASAP,” a person said.

“Hugh Freeze isn’t worth a damn as a coach. He is clueless and he is toxic,” a fan said.

Freeze's buyout is approximately $15.4 million, according to CBS Sports.

After Saturday’s loss, Freeze acknowledged in his postgame press conference that his squad could use more depth in certain areas. He said Auburn provides the resources, but the school isn’t executing winning plays.

Freeze also said that team morale is low and addressed fans’ frustration.

“Listen, we all know what we signed up for,” Freeze said (via On3’s Justin Hokanson). “I know we fit what Auburn is all about.

“But Auburn is also about winning football. We’ve changed the talent level, but at the end of the day, you have to win football games.”

The Tigers will try to bounce back in their next road game against the Arkansas Razorbacks next weekend.
