Freeze will come back to the SEC after being fired at Ole Miss due to problems with the NCAA. His record during his time in Oxford officially says 12-25, however 27 wins were taken away due to his violations meaning his was 39-25 over his five-year span.
In the time since the embattled head coach turned up a goose egg on national signing day, a litany of rumors and allegations have flown around regarding Harsin’s treatment of players and staff as well as some of an extramarital affair with his assistant.
Harsin signed a 6-year, $30 million contract with the Tigers in 2021 and therefore has five years remaining on his contract. Should the Auburn administration be able to prove Harsin was involved in an inappropriate relationship the University could opt to fire him with cause, and thus save the roughly $18 million buyout he has remaining on his contract.
Auburn junior quarterback Bo Nix announced through his social media accounts on Sunday night that he would be entering the transfer portal. Nix has started for the Tigers for the last three seasons, however his 2021 season was cut short due to an ankle injury.
