let's say HEW beats UK and then does the unthinkable and pulls off the upset of the decade with a win over Vanderbilt. Assuming we beat Mercer and lose to Bama do you think Hugh makes his triumphant return in 2026?
He's safe in this scenario imo. 7-5 would be a 2 game improvement

I think there's the possibility he could be back after a 6-6 finish.

Yeah, but he'll step down and DJ will take over.

Snake oil is still popular and very useful. Just ask anyone that talks to Hugh

My mind has been changed on this. I think he deserves to be back after his first winning season in ordinary circumstances- but it's clear that he's too stubborn to change enough to get over the hump.
The only exception I would consider is a win out plus a bowl game. KY, '@ Vandy, Mercer, #@ma & a win over a bowl opponent would put him at 9-4. We haven't won 9 game since 2019 & haven't won a bowl game since 2018. That would make it impossible.
Seeing as how 9-4 ain't gonna happen, he's done.

He absolutely should not be safe at 7-5 but I could see Auburn giving him another year.

if hugh
(a) beats kentucky
(b) beats alabama [OR] vanderbilt
and
(c) wins a bowl game
he will be back.
if he loses to alabama and vanderbilt... it is very unlikely he is back in 2026.
i have no insider information, this is just my handicapped brain handicapping.

Yes 7-5 is good enough for this loser mentality leadership.
