Auburn has narrowed its coaching search down to Liberty’s Hugh Freeze and Ole Miss’s Lane Kiffin, SI’s Ross Dellenger reports. However, no decision will come until after the Iron Bowl.
The news comes amid a number of rumors about Kiffin and Auburn, but Kiffin has maintained that he is not going anywhere despite potential interest. Additionally, according to ESPN’s Pete Thamel reports Auburn and Freeze have talked contract details over the last week.
Freeze has been Liberty’s head coach for the last four seasons, leading the Flames to a 34–14 record and what will be four straight bowl appearances.
