Auburn fires coach Hugh Freeze

Former Oklahoma Sooners starting quarterback Jackson Arnold entered the transfer portal after a rough 2024 regular season at OU, and he quickly landed with Freeze and the Tigers. Arnold became Auburn's starter, and he played well for the first month or so of the season, but things spiraled for him after a 3-0 start.
While Freeze did not survive Saturday night’s loss to the Wildcats, Gene Chizik, who presided over Auburn’s 21-14 defeat to UK in 2009 in what was only his seventh game, coached 45 subsequent contests after falling to the Wildcats.
