All right, we are live the next round.

0:03.3

Thank you for joining us.

0:04.2

We interrupt your NFL Sunday to discuss the firing of Hugh Freeze.

0:08.4

He is Lance Taylor.

0:09.2

I'm Ryan Brown.

0:10.1

Dunaway had the morning duty.

0:12.8

He was going to jump on if this thing happened overnight.

0:15.2

He's tied up this afternoon, so you've got the two of us.

0:18.0

Lance, after last night's dismal performance on top of everything that has happened

0:22.7

under Hugh Fries at Auburn, today is no surprise, I don't think. No, I don't think it's a shocker at all.

0:27.9

I mean, you look at Hugh, 16 in the SEC is just not good enough. And, you know, it continues to say

0:34.4

we're so close, we're so close. close and look these are a lot of one possession losses

I mean, those are really the only two wins you look at in this whole tenure under Hugh Fries. And you're like, all right, that was a good win. I mean, that's something I, you know, kind of program moving forward, program looking like I wanted to. I mean, that's, you got to win more games than that that matter. Well, I mean, look, it just, and I was one, I was big on Hugh. I thought he was a better higher than Lane Kiffin.

1:45.7

That looks comical now when we, you know, fast forward at two and a half years. But his 12 years as a

head coach, you know, from Lambeth to Arkansas State to Ole Miss to Liberty, he had one losing
