Freeze is set to wrap up his first spring on the Plains on Saturday.
FILE – Auburn NCAA college football head coach Hugh Freeze talks after being introduced at a press conference on Tuesday, Nov. 29 2022, in Auburn, Ala. Freeze’s to-do list includes picking, or perhaps bringing in, a quarterback who can revive one of the nation’s worst passing offenses and closing the talent gap with Auburn’s rivals in the Southeastern Conference.
“Our fan base, I hope they heard me,” said Freeze, who received a six-year contract worth at least $6.5 million annually in November. “I want them to be excited. Man, I want to give them something to be : man, our kids are competing. They love to play the game, they’re doing it the right way. They’re playing with passion. And they’re in some games because of that.
He also figures to explore the transfer portal to potentially bolster the position, even if none of the three current contenders seek to move on. That’s seldom a sure thing these days. “We might could have had one or two in the last portal had I told them certain words they wanted to hear,” Freeze said. “Like they’re the guy and all that. But I’m just not made that way. “We absolutely are going to look at every scenario that becomes an option. We’ll go down and look at, is that best for this program. And that’s ultimately what we have to do, is what’s best for the program.
Finley opened the season as starter after coming in from LSU, but threw just one touchdown pass against four interceptions. He only played in four games, partly because of a shoulder injury.
