Auburn head coach Hugh Freeze had some nice things to say about Ole Miss during an SEC teleconference call, but Rebels head coach Lane Kiffin didn't return the favor.
After learning that Freeze praised Ole Miss for its Grove Collective exclusive NIL program run by Walker Jones, Kiffin took a slight jab at Freeze by saying the Tigers head coach would "try to steal" Jones the same way he poached a few previous members of Kiffin's staff:
Freeze was the head coach at Ole Miss from 2012 to 2016 before taking over at Liberty from 2019 to 2022.
