Hugh Freeze theorizes why he’s often blamed for ‘throwing somebody under the bus’

Hugh Freeze has had a tough year on the field, but also off the field with the public perception. He has been accused multiple times this year of being someone who points the blame at someone else, rather than accepting it as the head coach of Auburn.
He has been called out by people such as Paul Finebaum, as well as his former quarterback at Ole Miss, Bo Wallace.
During his time with the media Monday, Freeze talked about how it doesn’t matter what he says, it is always going to be taken as him deflecting the blame.
Hugh Freeze said every time he tries to explain "how something really is," he gets blamed for "throwing somebody under the bus."

“Everybody seems to think that when I just tell you what really happened, I’m throwing somebody under the bus,” Freeze said.
A lot of this has started when Freeze mentioned earlier in the season that Tigers had to stop turning the ball over. The Tigers are currently 132nd out of 133 teams with 15 turnovers, with only East Carolina have more.
In the loss to Oklahoma, the Tigers turned the ball over only once, but it was a game-winning interception for the Sooners.
For Auburn this week, everybody is going to have to be great and on the same page when the Tigers travel to Athens to take on the Georgia Bulldogs.
