To build the Auburn team he desires, Hugh Freeze has had to be harder on his players at practice than in prior jobs.
Auburn football head coach Hugh Freeze talks with the media before practice Thursday, Aug. 17, 2023 in Auburn, Ala. The problem started with Auburn’s secondary. It’s one of Auburn’s only position groups with returning experience and on paper, could be the team’s strongest overall unit. Cornerbacks Nehemiah Pritchett and DJ James both have NFL potential and are among the best players and leaders on Auburn’s roster.
He said being this jerk in practice, whether in a player’s face or overhead, is what he’s learned about coaching an Auburn group he said is in need of a culture change. That’s what Freeze did with Pritchett and James — calling them up, to use his words. The idea is not to be a coach that everyone hates, but to be hard on his players as a means of motivation to get what he wants out of them.
