Auburn Coaching Search Rumors: Lane Kiffin’s Ole Miss Future, Hugh Freeze the Favorite?

In a new video on our Southeastern 14 YouTube channel, we share our reaction to the newest rumors surrounding the Auburn football coaching search.

There has been lots of speculation regarding Lane Kiffin’s future at Ole Miss and the possibility that he could be the next coach at Auburn. While Kiffin noted that he expects to be the Rebels’ coach next season, many connected people believe he’s still the top candidate for the Tigers, who unsurprisingly have not made an official offer to anyone yet.

Of course, it seems there is also lots of momentum behind current Liberty head coach and former Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze. As with Kiffin, there are those that expect Freeze to ultimately be Auburn’s choice, which sets up an interesting scenario as to how it all unfolds.

Here are some of the topics of discussion:

  • Mississippi State’s win over Ole Miss in the Egg Bowl
  • How the Rebels’ late-season struggles have impacted the perception of Kiffin
  • Coaching candidates that would make sense for Ole Miss should Kiffin leave for Auburn
  • Why some think Freeze is more likely than Kiffin to be the next coach of the Tigers
  • Freeze’s success against Alabama coach Nick Saban
  • Predictions on who Auburn actually hires
