    Napier beat Freeze head to head twice while he was at UL. And the games were not close. It was a blowout both times.

    35-14
    42-14

    Napier would be higher if we hadn't face-planted at the end of the season.

    I find it interesting that auburn has hired 2 coaches (Pearl and Freeze) that got their respective SEC schools in trouble with NCAA violations...both had show causes, correct?

    I don’t find it surprising. Freeze beat Bama twice and then got in trouble. To me, it’s just like we feel that UF has to walk a finer line than Bama does or we will get in trouble. Every decent team in the country is paying for play which is supposed to be illegal.

    Funny, but many on here wanted both of these guys when we hired Napier.

    Brian Kelly is likely to have a well coached team every year, but the downturn in recruiting from Ogerin is noticeable. Going from a regular top 3 to top 10 is the direction it is heading. That will show in results in the next few years.
