What was the ultimate downfall? I mean, was this something that you could kind of see coming from far away?

I just think Hugh Freeze is somebody that doesn't pay attention to details. I think he just misses stuff. I think stuff falls through the cracks. It's just not organized.

What is up, everybody? Hope you're having a fantastic Monday. Thank you once again for making Cran and Company a daily watch or list and almost to 200,000 subs. Make sure you're subscribed. If not, today. A lot of stuff going on. A lot of big games this weekend. But the coaching carousel obviously took another turn. We had an instant reaction to Hugh Fries being fired. And just like when it

happened with Brian Kelly, we've decided to bring on a guest that really knows what's going on

inside the building where Auburn could turn next, what it means. But first, David Cohn, former

mission quarterback, survived Purdue, survived Purdue to my left. Blaine Crane, former Western Tate, Colorado wide receiver. Don't know who y'all played this weekend. Do you have any idea? Probably lost. Probably lost. You are probably great on special teams. That's what matters. But our guest today, from Auburn's on three, good friend of mine, guy who knows what he's talking about. Good looking cat too, for being honest. Our buddy Justin Huggins. What's up?

What's up? What's up? How are you all?

Doing good, man. You got any sleep yet or what?

Yeah. The daylight savings threw me off. The coaching search plus the daylight savings is like,

you know, worst case scenario. But well, it's, it is the double whammy. I do want to say, and, you know, worst case scenario. Well, it is the double whammy.

I do want to say, and, you know, again, before we get into who the legitimate candidates are,

you know, who you are hearing, I want to start out with kind of how this went down,

because there's a couple nuggets out there that I think people need to know.

Some may be true, some may be not. I know one's true for

sure, but I just want to get your view from kind of behind the glass, is that Auburn had asked

Hugh Freeze to start negotiating a buyout after the Missouri loss, and he said no, and then they

lose to Kentucky, and it kind of waterfalls from there.

Is that true?

Did they try and get rid of him after the Missouri game

and he just wouldn't negotiate the buyout down or whatever?

I never confirmed that.

So, I mean, I don't know.
