Auburn head coach Hugh Freeze is facing intense criticism following a 24-14 loss to Arkansas, particularly from former Ole Miss quarterback Bo Wallace. Wallace accused Freeze of consistently blaming quarterbacks for losses while taking personal credit for victories, suggesting this behavior could deter players from wanting to play under him. Wallace's tirade included allegations of unethical practices, such as playing through severe injuries for Freeze's benefit without receiving support in return. Additionally, podcaster Matt Scalici criticized Auburn's decision to hire Freeze, attributing it to sentimentality rather than merit. Despite the backlash, some argue that Freeze's strong recruiting performance may secure his position for now. Freeze admitted to poor quarterback coaching but maintained that finding reliable players is crucial.
