Hugh Freeze is set to be hired at Auburn, according to multiple reports, and Brady Quinn, a CBS Sports analyst, outlined the clear reason for the hire.
Quinn noted that Freeze has won at every stop, and he obviously comes with baggage.
“He’s also good as an underdog,” Quinn said. “You see time and time again, Liberty knocking off top 25 opponents, Power 5 opponents, and he was able to do that during his time at Ole Miss as well. … That’s what this is about, if you’re Auburn and you know you have the Iron Bowl every year, and really, to go through the SEC, it really goes through Alabama, make the case for Georgia, too, but in the SEC West, that’s what this is about bringing in a coach that you feel like gives you a shot versus Alabama when it’s all said and done.”
Quinn said Auburn wanted to find someone who could fit what the Tigers wanted to do from a recruiting standpoint.
