Recapping Auburn’s Hugh Freeze’s spring interview with ESPN
Hugh Freeze welcomed ESPN college football reporter Heather Dinich inside the program this spring, as ESPN chronicled a couple of days in the life of Freeze and the Auburn football program.
You can read the entire story here.
What was said:
- First, can we point out that Dinich cited in the third paragraph of her story that Auburn has “five national titles.” Maybe it’s time Auburn start acknowledging more national titles? Considering the way college football rankings, BCS, and now playoffs have evolved, it’s fair to say crowning a champion hasn’t always been done well, and it seems fair to look back and claim titles where legitimate cases can be made.

- The story centers around Auburn’s “gamble” to hire Freeze considering his past transgressions both on and off the football field. “You can’t fight it because I created it,” he said.
- The story quotes Freeze as saying he’s “so sick of rehashing it,” adding this: “It’s made me better. It’s made my wife and I better. It’s made, you know, everybody around me better. I think it made me a better coach because I share the real-life examples with our players and let me tell you when Coach got it wrong. Let me tell you when he got it right. Let me tell you why.”
- Freeze echoed a sentiment he’s mentioned before, saying he’s always thought Auburn is a place you can win big: “We just always felt like this is a place that you can win big, yet they haven’t done it. I’ve got a few years left in me before I say I’ve had enough, truthfully. I don’t want to do this until I’m 75 like my buddy Nick [Saban]. … I just think for the years I have left, I want the challenge of it.”
