Auburn head coach Hugh Freeze made significant changes across his staff this offseason after a 6-7 season in his first year with the Tigers. During his appearance on McElroy and Cubelic in the Morning , ESPN’s Paul Finebaum offered his thoughts on the notable changes by Freeze on the Plains.
“You have to be concerned although some of these things are still without explanation,” Finebaum said. “I think the staff has gotten better. I really feel like Hugh Freeze has most of the questions answered. In terms of recruiting, I’m extremely impressed. A little bit shaky on a couple of other things, but I think this is just the cost of doing business right now.
“He made changes from a bad situation that he took over from and I think he’s finding out that more changes had to be made. I think the two coaches I still don’t have a good explanation for are Zac Etheridge and Carnell Williams, but I think most people are just accepting that whatever the reasons there were, Freeze made the only decision he could.”
