This has been the strangest season I have ever followed closely. The inability to scheme with the talent we do have on offense is strange. Poor QB play in weeks 1-3 is understandable. 4 play packages for 3 different QBs in week 13 is all on coaching. Hugh Freeze is a great coach but he has been awful the past 3 weeks. Just no identity or concept of game management. Can anyone remember a great play call on a key 3rd or 4th down in a month???

We should hire Cadillac williams from Auburn and see who has more success, Hugh at Auburn or Williams at liberty

[Just John]

I can report that players knew before the game this was Freezes swan song and not all is well with QB group.

[ALAFlamesFan]

Press conference should be more interesting than the game!

With JB not starting I can only imagine

[Wvflame2013]

It's evident that Hugh quit on this team after the Arkansas game. Gives me a bad taste in my mouth.

[lueer]

Couldn’t agree more

[thepostman]

My opinion of the HF era has really changed today

I stuck up for Freeze way more than I probably should have over the years. I don't fault the man for taking a better job but the way he did and mailed in the rest of the season is really sad to see.

I have kind of slowly checked out on all things LU in recent months as it is clear LU isn't interested in real leadership but this is still sad to see unfold. Especially for the kids.

Hey, bidness is bidness. HF put us on the map. At least 2 of the best wins in program history. We will get the right person to take us further down the road. A little surprised it was Auburn.

[Tnobes]

The way he left liberty is super low class and I said that for weeks, which is too bad because he was loved here. Search Hugh Freeze on Twitter and Auburn fans DO NOT WANT him to be their coach, they are ticked at the potential hire saying he is a sleazy less talented version of Gus Mahlzan. So he is disappointing 2 fan bases, and for what? 1 or 2 million dollars per year? Very sad turn of events. I'd say to him don't let the door hit you on your way out, sad to see his love for liberty was fake

[Sly Fox]

Whether he goes or not, the offer apparently has not been made yet. If Auburn were to somehow upset Bama (they are up early right now) then it will be difficult for the university to not remove the interim out of Cadillac Williams' title.

It certainly looks bleak, but this is not over yet but all indications from Coach Freeze and the Auburn folks.

Auburn still has a lot of fans and boosters who want Williams hired. If he beats Bama and they still hire Freeze…l.it could be ugly early. As it is he’s not walking in to much of a honeymoon period

I’ve been watching football for 60 years. Today was the worst prepared I’ve ever seen a team take the field. Both offense and defense.

Which shows that watching doesn’t lead to understanding. It wasn’t a matter of preparation. It was a matter of desire and execution. Outside of maybe 6 there was not much of either on the staff or players

[Tnobes]

If you don't have the desire, you are not prepared. The snake oil salesman quit on this team weeks ago when he started talking to Auburn

[Tnobes]

It's fun reading all the hate Auburn fans and the media already have for Freeze before it's even official. He deserves all of it

[Purple Haize]

I’m surprised no one asked him why Brewer started over JB. Or why he abandoned his one QB promise. Or why was JB the 3rd QB after Salter? What had JB done wrong?
But….nope. Even on the way out folks refuse to question him

YOU PLAYED MORE THAN 1 QB?
“I was hopeful that Charlie would light it up. All three had good practice times and felt like we could move the ball with all three and I thought we did at times. All three had turnovers also and took some sacks when we should have thrown it away. Things we should have coached better.”

SOURCE

He mentioned it at least but he should've been pressed a bit more but I think most in the room had Auburn on the mind. Including Hugh.

Yeah I listened to the entire press conference before I posted. He didn’t address it
He had a SEASON worth of evidence to make a decision but he goes with ‘hope’? Based on a few days in practice? So in his mind what those two did in practice it negates not just what he said he’d do this game but EVERYTHING your starting QB did the entire year. No wonder the team had no energy.
It speaks to what type of culture he actually built

[JK37]

Pregame, he said it was because Charlie was a senior.

[Purple Haize]

Such a statement. A Senior who hasn’t been on campus 12 months. Played like 10 snaps. Has a chance to get a Medical Redshirt And the Coach promised to only go with one QB. Then post game says ‘I was hoping he could light it up’.

Yeah. Total

[JK37]

Charlie is smart enough to know the medical redshirt was a long shot at best. He knew this was his final season. Maybe HF made a deal with him.

I don’t like the way this played out for JB at all. And if HF is gone, I bet Salter is, too. So JB might be the starter in a year.

God invented the portal for a reason. It's not super difficult to plug and play with a transfer QB nowadays. If brewer doesn't get hurt this is a much better offense.

No one is happier Freeze is gone thanJB. He was embarrassed and totally disrespected by Freeze today

Sort of like Seth Curry the last 5-6 games before he transferred to Duke.
