I really thought it’d be more than that.

“Look we can’t hire him”
“Ok what if instead of 10 you pay him 8?”
“Can’t do 8. What about 4?”
“He’s making 5 now!”
“But where else is he gonna go? “
“Who else are you gonna get?”
“ He can always go back”
“Ok 7”
“6”
“6.5”
Deal.

It was a dumb move to leave for 1.5 million more per year when Auburn will run him out of town in 3 years and many want to run him out of town nowPurple Haize wrote: ↑November 28th, 2022, 8:52 pmWouldn’t it be nice to have a job where you can say a $1.5 million raise isn’t a significant bump?aredd33 wrote: ↑November 28th, 2022, 6:28 pmThat seems awful low.

I don't blame him for chasing his dreams and goals, and I still don't think he mailed it in against UConn and Tech. I, also think he was fairly torn about leaving us. I also think he truly meant to tell our Boys after the NMSU game. I'm disappointed that opportunity to help the Boys win one more was taken from him and especially from our Boys by the Press. I'll stand by this belief until it's proven otherwise.You think telling them after the game was any better than them finding out before the game? He should have told them 2 or 3 weeks ago that he was exploring the possibility and nobody would have been mad. He was absolutely loved here and the way he handled it, a lot of people are sour on him, myself included
Again, I can't fault a man for doing what he had to do to get his next/new job. As I said earlier, I had to do what I felt I needed to do to get my current job. However, where I'm most disappointed in him is the amount of influence he had on our immediate future as a program only to just leave us. I believe he had a huge influence on us dropping P5 games, joining CUSA, and then our announced intended non-conference scheduling philosophy. I believe this because he frequently complained about playing too many P5's, whined about being Indy, and even said he didn't want to play BYU again. The non-conference scheduling philosophy was his idea. Too make matters worse, he did away with the red matte eagle lid, gave us the ugly LU on the white one, and brought this baby blue scourge upon our campus.
Finally, I'm just glad that this weekend is over for us and our Boys. Hopefully, McCaw will bring in a great coach not named Briles, and bring back our red matte eagle lid.
stokesjokes wrote: ↑November 28th, 2022, 9:25 pmIt’s all about scale. I would leave jobs years ago for a certain amount of money that wouldn’t even interest me today. So yeah. At that point if I’m making 5 going to Auburn for 6.5 isn’t a big move. 8? 10? Absolutely. But he could make that 20% bump pretty easily at LU in short order
Wouldn’t it be nice to have a job where you can say a $1.5 million raise isn’t a significant bump?

Multiple sources say Freeze has agreed to relinquish control of his social media accounts when he becomes the Auburn coach. The background check on Freeze was extensive, and the school hired a P.R. consultant to handle the expected blowback in bringing him aboard. They are jumping through a lot of hoops for Freeze.SOURCE
