Auburn never gave Harsin a chance. Why would you give Freeze a chance?
I'll not trying to speak for Auburn fans, but I have a relative who's close to AU athletic operations. Freeze is doing his job.

He placed recruiting as top priority; he was floored when he saw the shape of that roster relative to talent. He developed a plan to re-open doors and dialog with the top high school coaches in Auburn's recruiting footprint (Harsin never even met some of them at all.) Freeze immediately made an effort to meet/greet the money men that fund the football program. He sat down with them, laid out his vision and he told them what he needed to bring AU football back to relevance in this conference.

I mentioned my family member earlier, a few months after Harsin was hired he told me that Harsin hadn't introduced himself to Jimmy Rane. Harsin had been on the damn job maybe 6-8 months and hadn't seen the need to meet AU football's biggest and most prominent donor? WTF?

He didn’t exactly endear himself when he blew off Bo Jackson either.

Jimmy Rane is not Auburn’s biggest donor.
