Freeze's hiring comes after a coaching search by new Auburn Athletics Director John Cohen. He was announced as Auburn's next coach on Monday night after spending the last four seasons at Liberty. Freeze has a well-documented past, having been forced to resign from the University of Mississippi in 2017 due to personal misconduct.
