Hugh Freeze is a psychopath. It’s important to state that fact before we talk about anything football related.
Sources: Hugh Freeze’s deal with Auburn is six years, at an average of $6.5 million per year.

Okay, so Auburn will be hiring Hugh Freeze as their new head coach. On paper, Freeze is one of the best coaches of the 2000’s. He has an 83-43 win-loss record. Far superior to someone like Matt Rhule who continues to be treated like a football genius.
Freeze got his first head coaching job at Briarcrest Christian School so from day one, a large part of his brand was his relationship to his faith. But more importantly, he showed that he might actually be one of the best coaches in the world.
He went 94-30 at Briarcrest. He won the Region 8-AA Coach of the Year 5 times. Freeze is such a great coach that he led the women’s basketball team to a 305–63 record. Give him a ball and some impressionable teenagers and Hugh Freeze will turn them into champions.
But we can’t leave Freeze’s first head coaching job without discussing his first—of many— controversies.
Former female students at Briarcrest have come out and said Freeze was a super pervert like making a girl change shirts in his office because she was ‘violating the dress code’. Oh, he also spanked a girl which I guess is common for these catholic schools or whatever but a male teacher is only supposed to do that to a male student. Hugh Freeze shouldn’t be paddling teenage girls.
He’s the head coach at Auburn now making millions.
Freeze got his first college head coaching job at the great prestigious Lambuth University in 2008. In 2009, the team went undefeated. Again, Freeze is a phenomenal coach. In 2010, he went to Arkansas State as the offensive coordinator. He broke 9 school records while averaging 30 points a game.
The following year, he would finally get his shot to run a major college football program. Ole Miss hired him as their new head coach anddddd all hell would break loose. Every year, Ole Miss would have a top recruiting class which made everyone zoom in on how in the world Hugh Freeze was suddenly getting all of the best athletes across the country to come play at fucking Ole Miss.
Hugh Freeze was a legendary bag distributor. If you were great at football, Freeze was standing outside of your door with a duffle bag of money and a pen to sign on the dotted line to play at Ole Miss.
After a lengthy investigation, Ole Miss received a 2-year postseason ban, 3 years of probation, and a 4-year ban on some scholarships. And every win from 2010-2016 was stripped so Freeze’s time at Ole Miss pretty much never happened.
OH, and while investigating they found Freeze constantly calling escorts with his Ole Miss work phone which only really matters because this man made his religion his entire personality and it turns out, this man was sleeping with anyone but his wife. I’m told by people who have read the bible that adultery is a bad thing in those books.
So naturally, it made allllll the sense in the world that he would end up as the head coach of Jerry Falwell Jr’s Liberty University. These two men are one and the same. They deserve each other. They pretend to be diehard evangelical devout Christians to manipulate people and appear holier than thou while cheating on their spouses and committing crimes regularly.
If you’ve been following along with this article, you can tell how this part of the story goes. Liberty has gone 34-15 under coach Freeze and made the AP Top 25 for the first time in school history. He also coached a game from a hospital bed once.

I love Hugh Freeze. Just an entire legacy of fucking up in every area of life outside of being on a football field. Of course he coached from the hospital bed. It was an opportunity for him to feel like some sort of hero after years of all of his football success being shrowded with all of his weird shit.
(Liberty lost the game 0-24).
And with the on-field success comes sicko dirtbag nonsense. This summer while Liberty was under investigation for a number of sexual assault violations, Hugh Freeze jumped off the top rope to defend one of his accused friends for absolutely no reason other than the fact that Freeze was having too much success and needed to light something on fire asap.
Liberty Athletic Director, Ian McCaw, was in the center of all these accusations which is a terrible look for Liberty considering Ian McCaw was the Athletic Director at Baylor during their sexual assault scandals in the early 2010’s. Go Liberty!
Why is the head football coach at Liberty University DMing me during and after my lawsuit with LU?
At almost midnight.
When I didn’t tag him.
& I haven’t responded to the other DMs he’s sent over the months
Publicly naming so he can see that I don’t want direct contact w/ him pic.twitter.com/K3icZAuops

Anddd here’s Hugh Freeze DMing a sexual assault victim this past July to tell her that his buddy Ian McCaw is JESUS.
Guys, this is the new head coach at Auburn.
The guy who made high school girls take their tops off in front of him. The guy who talked up his faith nonstop only to be not-so-secretly checking into escort services to see if his favorite girls were working. The guy who completely nuked the Ole Miss football program because he couldn’t even be subtle about giving out cash and homes to his players. The guy who harassed a sexual assault victim to call her accuser fucking Jesus.
Hugh Freeze is the walking embodiment of everything that sucks about being a college football fan. If you are talented, you can get away with literally anything you want. If you are a white guy with a christ necklace and a memorized bible verse you can break out in a job interview at a moment’s notice, you will always be handed millions of dollars,
Auburn University will be in ashes by 2028 and I cannot wait.
