Auburn Fires Head Coach Hugh Freeze

Following a disappointing loss to Kentucky, Auburn University fired head football coach Hugh Freeze amid mounting pressure from fans and performance concerns. Freeze, who struggled with 12 losses in his last 15 SEC games, faced criticism for quarterback management and offensive issues. Auburn's Athletic Director, John Cohen, confirmed the dismissal and is leading the search for a new coach. Potential candidates include Kenny Dillingham and Jon Sumrall, with Auburn seeking leadership to revitalize the team. Freeze acknowledged the firing, marking another high-profile coaching change for the Tigers, as they aim to improve competitiveness in the SEC.
