Hugh Freeze Breaks Silence on Loss to NMSU, Auburn Coaching Rumors
'Complete Opposite' Performance Stuns Tigers
Disappointing Result Casts Shadow over Season's Progress
In a candid press conference, Auburn head coach Hugh Freeze expressed his disappointment following the team's embarrassing loss to New Mexico State. The 31-10 defeat marked a stark contrast to the Tigers' impressive victory over Arkansas the previous week.
"As good as last week felt, as complete as we played in all three phases, it was the exact opposite today," Freeze lamented. "We shot ourselves in the foot, turned the ball over, and failed to execute in key moments."
Freeze admitted that the Aggies' game plan caught his team off guard. "They were controlling the clock very well, and when we did get on schedule, we made mistakes," he said.
The loss leaves Auburn facing an uncertain future. With just one game remaining in the regular season, the Tigers are in danger of missing a bowl game for the first time since 2012.
Coaching Rumors Swirl Amid Turmoil
Adding to the turmoil surrounding Auburn's football program, rumors have surfaced about Freeze's potential interest in the vacant head coaching position at his former school, Liberty.
When asked about the rumors, Freeze said he is "focused on finishing the season strong at Auburn." However, he did not explicitly deny the reports.
"I'm not going to speculate about the future," Freeze said. "My priority right now is to prepare our team for our next game and to end the season on a positive note."
Auburn fans will be closely monitoring the situation in the coming days and weeks. With the future of the program at stake, Freeze's decision could have a significant impact on the Tigers' trajectory.
