Auburn must fire Hugh Freeze. No more pretending after Kentucky debacle

Auburn University's football program is facing turmoil following a 10-3 loss to Kentucky, leading to widespread expectations that head coach Hugh Freeze will be dismissed. Auburn fans demonstrated their dissatisfaction by leaving the stadium early and booing Freeze as he exited the field. Freeze, who was hired to revitalize Auburn's offense, has failed to deliver improvements, resulting in a 15-19 record during his tenure.
