Auburn athletics director John Cohen provides more insight on the coaching search that led to the hiring of Hugh Freeze.
Cohen joined hosts Andy Burcham and Brad Law to provide some further insight to the search, which lasted four weeks and involved the use of a search firm, two analytics firms, feedback from the Southeastern Conference office and other resources to help vet candidates. Ultimately, Cohen landed on Freeze, who was among the top candidates for the job since the search began Oct. 31., he answered a handful of questions during his appearance on the radio show.
“I think there’s a great recruiting plan.
“Well, when we first started the process and we looked at all of our criteria, Hugh Freeze jumped out at us. I mean, I just kept thinking he is such a great fit for this job, but I wanted to go deep, I wanted to interview several people, and I wanted to make sure he was the right decision. We kind of started with Hugh, we kind of ended up with Hugh for all the same reasons, and he’s going to do a great job in this community in so many ways.
