Auburn's Hugh Freeze ignored common sense -- and program confidantes -- in not upgrading QB: What comes next?
Hugh Freeze is a big believer in his ability to do more with less at quarterback, and rightfully so, but his doubling-down on Auburn's lackluster QB room has backfired and sets up his third season as vitally important

main excerpt here IMO:
There was a moment of doubt, though. Auburn reached out to Washington State transfer quarterback Cam Ward very late in the process, according to multiple sources, to gauge whether Ward had finalized a decision and would still consider the Tigers. There was a faction of the Auburn program that wanted to go after Ward from the jump but Freeze and Austin were reluctant, according to sources, and never went all-in to get him. They decided they'd prefer to "just roll with what we have."
Ward became the most highly sought-after transfer quarterback and ultimately picked Miami. He has guided the Hurricanes to a 4-0 record and No. 7 ranking as an early Heisman Trophy favorite. Miami's decision to prioritize Ward looks brilliant so far.
