Makes sense. Steele will come on the cheap so they can afford to pay Briles handsomely to be the OC.Color me surprised that Auburn is not going after Freeze. I don't buy that they just aren't interested in him. Makes me wonder if he told them he's not interested. Auburn is not above hiring Freeze. Give me a break. I hope they let him go and we can capitalize. If he really does want to be here I hope we give him a chance and at least talk to him.
I could see Auburn naming Steele as head coach but then bringing in Art Briles as OC. He just left his job and everybody is assuming he's replacing Freeze at Liberty, but what if he's headed to Auburn? I think you could sell that to Auburn fans. They would score tons of points and probably avoid a drop off on defense. Steele could be a good hire if he gets the right OC. You also don't take as much heat naming Briles OC as opposed to head coach. He just wants back in college football. Auburn would put him on a huge stage and could be similar to Kiffins comeback that started at Bama. They could promote him to head coach in a few years or around the time Saban walks away. They could set themselves up for a great run when that happens.
That's my prediction for the night.
Freeze to Tennessee with Mason as DC.
Steele to Auburn with Briles as OC.
