Scarbinsky: Can Auburn turn it around when people who backed Hugh Freeze are still there?

Auburn's Football Program Falls Far

This once-proud football program has fallen too far and wasted far too much time on pretenders, posers and televangelists.

The official announcement of the inevitable came Sunday afternoon, the day after the worst Saturday night in Jordan-Hare Stadium in memory.

Auburn admitted hiring Hugh Freeze was a mistake by firing him after 34 games, after the most humiliating of his increasingly embarrassing 19 defeats.

Freeze didn’t deserve the job the day it was gifted to him. He didn’t do the job he was handed in a panic after a far superior Ole Miss coach declined.

Auburn's decision to fire Hugh Freeze raises questions about the program's future, including whether it can turn around with people who backed Freeze still involved.
