Hugh Freeze parts ways with several Auburn assistants

Hugh Freeze met with the assistant coaches from the previous Auburn coaching staff Wednesday.

Most of the assistants were let go with the exception of interim head coach Cadillac Williams, who was already retained as running backs coach and associate head coach, and the combination of defensive backs coach Zac Etheridge and linebackers Christian Robinson, who seem to be under consideration for spots on Freeze’s staff, sources tell On3.

Freeze was hired Monday as the replacement for Bryan Harsin, who was fired on Halloween during his second season as the Tigers’ coach.

Freeze went 34-15 in four seasons at Liberty prior to being hired at Auburn.

“I’ve got a list of every position and a lot of great candidates,” Freeze said during his introductory press conference Tuesday. “There’s some here. There’s some where I just came from. And they’re all around the country. I’m constantly getting texts. My agent who I have forgotten to thank Jimmy Sexton … he’s got a little whole list too that he presented to me this morning.”
