Hugh Freeze just got canned at Auburn. Guess winning is hard when everyone else can (legally) pay players now too.

Shoot, they might as well just pay a top HS coach in the state and let all the recruits know it means they're spending the money on them instead.pdxduck2013 wrote: Sun Nov 02, 2025 11:37 am Hugh Freeze just got canned at Auburn.

Didn’t expect Nebraska to be happy with mediocre results
Not the craziest idea, it definitely has a certain moneyball appeal to it.Duck07 wrote: Sun Nov 02, 2025 9:21 pmShoot, they might as well just pay a top HS coach in the state and let all the recruits know it means they're spending the money on them instead.pdxduck2013 wrote: Sun Nov 02, 2025 11:37 am Hugh Freeze just got canned at Auburn.

I honestly don't know who I want to win that legal battle. I mean screw the SEC, but Brian Kelly is also a PoS. Is there a way they can both lose?StevensTechU wrote: Mon Nov 10, 2025 10:47 am I find this hilarious. Brian Kelly is telling LSU "No, I don't want $25M, and I don't want $30M. I want the full $54M you owe me." I actively root for Southeastern Conference financial strain so I hope it ends up being $54M plus ungodly legal fees.

Yes, there is a way they both lose, and it happens hourly. I hope they both went out and got the best lawyers they could find....squintsdd wrote: Mon Nov 10, 2025 10:49 amI honestly don't know who I want to win that legal battle.

I'll be curious how AD's evaluate Mullen's record this year at UNLV since he took over a program that went 11-3 last year (and 2 of the losses last year were against Boise St.)SuperDuck wrote: Sun Nov 16, 2025 9:48 am A name that hasn't been mentioned as a potential candidate for some of these open jobs is Dam Mullen at UNLV. He's currently sitting at 8-2 on the year.
He didn't do great at Florida, but he did at Mississippi State, coaching Dak Prescott to good success. He has a lot of SEC experience.
I think he'd be a good candidate at Arkansas or maybe Vanderbilt, if Clark Lea jumps to a better job.
