He's obviously gonna have plenty of NIL opportunity there too, but it feels different to me Yeah good for him to go to Auburn and play for a winner like Hugh Freeze and Cadilac versus his other coaches.

Just say that you are keeping your options open. We can respect that better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB at least finished out the season busting his ass, unlike a couple others that we saw down the stretch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be interesting to see him in the SEc under Freeze. I am sure he got paid nicely. Weaver is probably going to Arksansas or Colorado. Why USF transfer RB Brian Battie's dad said his son chose Hugh Freeze, Auburn football The Montgomery Advertiser spoke to transfer RB Brian Battie's dad, Tommie, about his son's decision to join coach Hugh Freeze on the Plains. This is no different than me going to FSU for Law School... I love USF but FSU had something USF didn't.... Wish the kid the well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coaches will always matter. We need a clause in all HC contracts. Hire better if your a new HC, I’m going to get troughy. Not who your comfortable with. Not always . . . and most successful coaches were not stellar players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely think that was it but even it wasn’t, it’s not a lie if he truly believed that at the time he said it. Things can change …. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things can change …. $$$ money talks and winning pedigree coach at a program with national championships versus an unknown coach. Freeze and Cadillac will probbaly help his player development more for any future NFL potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are breaking in a new line. He had one year of success at RB, because of his size his accomplishments would have been looked as being in AAC. If he can go to Auburn and have another good year vs SEC players, his stock increases for NFL. He made best decision for his future and no one should blame him for it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
