I hate to see Hank go. I think he's a serious locker room/culture guy with a lot of potential. But it's obvious WW and DK are the future of the program. With a bonafide portal starter (or 2) coming in, Hank can compete, but he knows he won't get the starting job.
My thoughts on Hank. I wish we would have seen him play more as I’m sure season and timing with Payton had a big sway on his decision. Take care Charlie 5 Merry Christmas to you.
Man the portal is a double-edged sword, but it is good for the players. If players like Malik Willis & Jalen Hurts had not been able to transfer & play immediately the next season they may not be playing in the NFL right now.
Great show. Our family were fans of Hank. Hate to see him go. I do like portal recruitment way more than HS. I know you’ve got to have a smart balance of both but at least with the portal, you have true college film on every cat in it.
Don't know what guys are seeing when they say Hank doesn't have what it takes. I suspect they haven't watched his play at all. He's got a strong arm, gets rid of the ball quick, knows how to step up into the pocket. I thought he had a fair game going against Arkansas. We might have won that game if he was left in. He certainly seemed more confident and accurate than Thorne. GOOD LUCK HANK. I expect you to have a successful career wherever you land. Our loss.
As soon as he goes somewhere that’s a better fit and performs well their going to start screaming that they knew he was the answer all along. Remember what they said about Bo Nix
Hugh didn’t want Hank nor White it appears. Swing and a miss IMO this season…to not trot them out there and then rode Thorne all the way to the crash site. HF ain’t the answer.
@ yeah he didn’t trust Hank which was apparent because he was only allowed one mistake and never saw the field again. Walker proved he wasn’t ready when he saw the field so i understood letting him develop
From a fan view I wish Hank the best. I have never seen HF as a QB developer. He has always been dependent on transfers. Hank and Holden are doing what's best for them and HF is doing what he thinks is best for his system.
This pressure is unfounded and ridiculous to put the season on the coaches with all the power people making the decisions and hugh given a plan when he took the job and then the decision makers didn’t provide what was expected
Good morning C-5 🌄 🌞! Thank you for the video I hate to loose Hank but the way we had to bring guys in after Harsin. Made it harder because we got alot of young guys at once. I feel like since they are becoming semi pro players. That maybe they should drop the eligibility rules or maybe just allow them to play as long as they are talking classes they are eligible.. War 🦅🦅🦅
If there was so much pressure to win then why didn’t auburn make good on the players in the boat and the qb originally last year. If you wanna make a championship dish you need to bring home and pay for the championship ingredients.
It was just his 2nd year and his first year with a full recruiting class. He was THE ONLY coach with a losing season to have such a highly rated recruiting class this year. He said from the beginning he wants to primarily build the program from high school players & he is doing just that
For Auburn, any QB, especially a portal guy, is a gamble. I think CHF should dedicate every possible coaching asset to getting Walker White ready to take the first snap next season. Obviously, Hank is no longer an option. For some reason there's a predetermined decision that Deuce will not be "ready." A transfer, regardless of his history, is an unproven commodity in the Freeze offense. So, whatever they do is going to be a gamble. At least with Walker White, he's been in the system for a year, you have another 9 months to get him prepared, and you will know exactly what you have at the position. I think Walker White is probably the closest thing we have to a sure thing. War Eagle!
It's a bit upsetting but I understand he wants to play and if Hugh is getting a portal Qb until either walker or duece is ready then he qont get his shot
Hanks a good QB bad decision by Freeze not to play him this year.Now going by what you just said about Hank Walkers in the same situation he might as well transfer now because he’s not going to be given a chance they get a portal QB he’s coming to play not sit and Duece is not going to sit next yea4 for sure.When a star player comes to a program they come to play not sit.That more than money gets players to come and gets them to stay.Freeze you got to throw the dice with the youngsters or put your trust in an unknown like you did With PT how that work out.
Can we talk about the future, who you think we're getting. We live in the oast too much. Love ya hank but Deuces. Sane as the rest. Im looking fwd not back.
I wish Hank all the best. Auburn never gave him a chance. Yet continued playing Thorne witch is not a PTR QB. He.was a 5th year senior and was pathetic. Start Deuce in Walker White or your going to lose them as well. I'm so sick of the portal QB drama. Look what we have! Jesus Christ! It's year 3! Hugh Freeze no more excuses. We don't beat Alabama and go bowling next year? Freeze will be in a soup line. START WALKER WHITE OR DEUCE!
That’s still only 2 qb’s in the room that is not enough what if some freak accident happens and both Walker and Deuce gets injured and out for the year so and your saying Freeze doesn’t have time to lose games well he doesn’t have the time to develop so you go and get a Mateer, Salter someone who can come in and win games now
I hate to see Hank leave. But if someone doesn't think they can win the job in the off season. Then bye, sorry. We want ppl that want to be here and compete
Our powers that be need to give the coach power to run the program. We were a train wreck before hugh came. We knew he had to rebuild from dumb ass harsin lack of recruiting. . Give the man time if we fire him these big recruits he brought us like deuce and cam coleman will leave. Today's football and nil takes time to rebuild a program. Besides if we fire hugh who would we hire . It's foolish of some of the fans expectations. We are becoming a laughing stock.
We need one dynamic Jr or Sr QB. Then develop Duece and Walker to battle the following year. Only problem is historically Auburn does a terrible job at developing QB’s.
Hank Brown transferring has nothing to do with how the season unfolded. Stop making excuses for other grown men! Right now, HB is the lowest-ranked athlete in the QB room. It’s clear: the writing is on the wall. It’s time to move on! God has a bigger plan for HB to make an impact elsewhere, just like Jonah and the whale. Follow where God leads you. Best of luck, young man. War Eagle!

Running back first. You are doing a great job, look forward to your podcast. Might want to bring Dapp on with you. Thanks Charlie 5
Love it! Thank you!
Best of luck Hank.
I hate to see Hank leave but I sure don't blame him - Wish him success

Man, how can you not like a kid named Hank!!
Good luck bud!!
Great kid
Downtown Hank Brown will be successful in the game of life, book it.

Much faster! Not drawn out

@@tracy2.Exactly.. we have some really annoying fair weather fans. Quick to jump on X and dog a player or fire a coach

Freeze is in the same position as Beamer last year. Beamer figured it out. I hope Freeze does.
This pressure is unfounded and ridiculous to put the season on the coaches with all the power people making the decisions and hugh given a plan when he took the job and then the decision makers didn’t provide what was expected
I think there has never been a coach at Auburn since Pat Dye that's had more unified support than Hugh Freeze. Couldn't disagree with you more here
surprised hank left. but I guess he was dropping on the depth chart. still think they shouldn't have pulled him vs arky

Glad for Hank because he never really got the chance to win the job… He will light it up wherever he goes 🦅

I am not sold on Thorton. The OL recruiting has been lackluster and the OL performance has been sketchy.
Sad thing bout that is OL has been recruited higher in last 2 years than it has in last 10 years
Didn't want to
Best qb we had. We blew it on this one. I have a feeling we gone hear about Hank numbers, ON ANOTHER TEAM.
Can we talk about the future, who you think we're getting. We live in the oast too much. Love ya hank but Deuces. Sane as the rest. Im looking fwd not back.

It's year 3! Hugh Freeze no more excuses. We don't beat Alabama and go bowling next year? Freeze will be in a soup line. START WALKER WHITE OR DEUCE!
I don't agree that Auburn never gave him a chance. Just bad circumstances with the way the seasons played out and ultra pressure on 2025
That’s still only 2 qb’s in the room that is not enough what if some freak accident happens and both Walker and Deuce gets injured and out for the year so and your saying Freeze doesn’t have time to lose games well he doesn’t have the time to develop so you go and get a Mateer, Salter someone who can come in and win games now
Hank has to watch out for himself, Freeze is watching out for himself. You’ve got to do what you’ve got to do.
Both sides have to
I hate to see Hank leave. But if someone doesn't think they can win the job in the off season. Then bye, sorry. We want ppl that want to be here and compete
Wish you the best Hank good bye
Same
The Hank is baby GOAT fans must be disappointed.
Sounds like hank is going to iowa
Will youth turn off a senior quarterback from coming to auburn 🤔
Wooden is out only portal lose so far. And we are bringing in two elite safeties. We should be able to upgrade over the nine guys we lost.
Yep
Still need to at least get a couple from the portal for depth issues! Hopefully 2 that could start immediately!
Didn't Freeze hire a guy from LSU after last year to be in control of the portal recruits?
Yes he did
Fun for who
Rb first or Qb or TE or LB or all at once
Well the season is over and I'm retired now C5. Let's get together and have beer and talk about how Auburn football can be better 😂
I'm down
@TheBarnAuburn just let me know when and where C5

Exactly
I just saw where they are predictions of the Standford QB to us....might as well get Thorne back, that kids stats are horrible.
He's not being brought in to be the starter
Got to have a 4th QB, and we need to move quickly for a depth piece, we could do worse.
We need one dynamic Jr or Sr QB. Then develop Duece and Walker to battle the following year. Only problem is historically Auburn does a terrible job at developing QB’s.
The coaches change constantly. A location doesn't develop players.
Auburn may historically have issues with QBs but Hugh has not historically had issues with QB. I think he will get that room fixed.
Get a scholarship FG kicker! Pay his butt good,
No doubt
Let's be honest. You can't compete with the great teams with a guy like Hank Brown at QB. He is a mid major QB. UAB is a good level.
He was definitely the best QB on campus this year and that includes Walker White
Go get SMU quarterback he fits Auburn offense.
He's good
I like that guy too. Not sure why he would leave his current situation. We could just buy him now.

War Eagle!
hmmm
Oh please.... can we keep Thorne? He's been the best! 😂😂
lol
war eagle
WDE
TBH I don't see a winning record next year
I can understand why you'd say that. Need some pieces in the portal
Any reason why? That doesn't make much sense.
The auburn situation is totally not coaching and totally decision makers
How? Freeze is who the decision makers wanted after Kiffin fell through. I still don't know why, but there it is.
I'm pretty sure Freeze will be gone after the first 6 games next year. Auburn will be 0-6
LOL
no it doesn't shake up the plan. they never planned on him staying. stop with the ridiculous headlines
That's just not true
@@TheBarnAuburn it's definitely true. maybe you should check out what Hokanson said.
Lol....hoke, got the market cornered on bad takes and wrong information
@@autk as compared to some internet dork? nah bruh
