Between Hugh Freeze and Kalen DeBoer, one coach has an advantage.
Auburn head coach Hugh Freeze reacts after an Auburn penalty in the second half of an NCAA college football game against Georgia Saturday, Oct. 5, 2024, in Athens, Ga. . Emailers are asking if I miss Bryan Harsin. At Alabama, the mood suddenly feels even darker. The mailbag is erupting like a level 10 active volcano. We sally forth together.
Let’s also admit that AU has better players than last year, and better players than Harsin had in his Year Two. Which brings me to … WHAT THE HECK???! And that also brings me to this question, or observation: I’ve been plenty critical of Freeze for his decision to save money on a quarterback this season. But after the Harsin-induced meltdown of Auburn football, Freeze and Auburn’s decision makers knew this was a two-year rebuild. Auburn has some pretty deep pockets, but there’s a limit to Freeze’s spending power. If he thought Auburn had a chance at a title this season, then maybe quarterbacks Diego Pavia or Cam Ward would be on the Plains.
Freeze’s 2025 recruiting class is ranked in the Top 5 after this past weekend. In order, here’s the top 10: Ohio State, Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Auburn, Texas, Tennessee, Texas A&M, Oregon and Southern Cal. It’s a direct reflection of the spending power among college football’s top-tier programs. If Freeze at Auburn and coach Kalen DeBoer at Alabama begin losing recruits before December, then we’ll know real trouble is on the horizon. At this point, I expect Auburn to keep adding more players.
Let’s assume that you’re a tight end with a $20,000 NIL portfolio. How enthusiastic are you about blocking for the quarterback sweep when the quarterback drove his Lamborghini to the stadium? Personally, I think college is a screwed up program with some major issues!College football in its current state is an unregulated version of the NFL. In a lot of ways, coaching in college is now even harder than coaching in the NFL. In the NFL, there are contracts and contracts keep people accountable.
Let’s be honest with ourselves. Most people in the real world would leave a job that pays $600K for a job that pays $1.2 million.
