Auburn fired head coach Hugh Freeze on Sunday after posting a 44% win percentage (15-19) in just under three seasons on the job. Following the decision made by Auburn Athletic Director John Cohen, Freeze shared his final thoughts on his time on the Plains and sent a farewell message to fans and players on X.

Auburn became the fourth job opening in the SEC following its firing of coach Hugh Freeze, who was 1-5 in league play and 15-19 overall. Auburn's early hot board features several recognizable names for a program seeking its fourth coach since winning the 2010 national championship.

The way college football chases down excellence this season, Auburn letting go of Hugh Freeze after a 4-5 fall wasn’t that shocking. He was already in the hot seat before the Arkansas game, but that win bought him a week.
