Following a 23-17 loss to the Missouri Tigers at home in double overtime, Auburn Tigers head coach Hugh Freeze remained adamant that Auburn is close to turning some of the close losses into wins. Unfortunately for Freeze, the team, and the Auburn faithful, you can’t spell close without lose.

As the pressure rises for Hugh Freeze, Auburn announces that the head coach will have increased media availability.

Auburn football coach Hugh Freeze discusses QB Jackson Arnold's performance against Missouri and what it means going forward.

Here's a rundown of everything Hugh Freeze did, and didn't, say about Damari Alston's exit from the Auburn football program.

Brown, 43, would be the next best hire for Auburn. He rebuilt Syracuse in two seasons – the Orange won 10 games in 2024.
