Auburn Head Coach Hugh Freeze's Contract Terms Revealed
Liberty University has rewarded its fourth-year head football coach, Hugh Freeze, with a fully guaranteed eight-year contract that will place him among the highest-paid coaches in the Group of Five conferences. According to sources, Hugh Freeze's contract with Auburn University, where he previously held the head coaching position, was for six years with an average annual salary of $65 million.
Details of Liberty's Contract with Hugh Freeze
Details of Hugh Freeze's new contract with Liberty University were not immediately released. However, sources indicate that it is a fully guaranteed deal for the next eight seasons. This places him among the top earners in the Group of Five conferences, which consist of smaller and less-funded football programs compared to the Power Five conferences.
Auburn's Contract with Hugh Freeze
Sources close to ESPN reported that Hugh Freeze's contract with Auburn University was for six years with an average annual salary of $65 million. This contract would have made him one of the highest-paid coaches in college football. However, Freeze was fired from Auburn after one season due to personal conduct violations.
Hugh Freeze's move to Liberty University is seen as a major coup for the school's football program. The Flames have made significant strides under Freeze's leadership, posting a 19-18 record in his first three seasons and qualifying for their first bowl game in program history in 2021. The new contract extension signals Liberty's commitment to building a successful and competitive football program under Hugh Freeze's leadership.
