“The newest episode of a classic American soap opera dropped last week with a twist that was predictable as could be but stunning all the same. There was Hugh Freeze, familiar and convincing and slippery as ever, being introduced as Auburn’s new football coach.
“Man, what an honor,” Freeze said, wearing a burnt-orange necktie and pocket square. “War Eagle.”
And a quote of interest:
“Is this the first time an Auburn AD has been willing to do something that makes Auburn fans mad?” said one prominent football booster, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, fearing retribution for airing the program’s dirty laundry. “Maybe, because if it had been any other AD, he would’ve passed on Hugh because he’s got to go see if we can get Billy Graham to coach this team. He’s actually made a decision right out of the gate that he knew he was going to take a ton of s--- for.”
