Freeze & Cristobal several others might be interested. Maybe Kiffin jumps. Seems like a Kiffin move, after 1 year at Ole Miss. His son's name is Knox afterall.. I know Cristobal just has a big contract extension, but hasn't fully put the Auburn rumors away.
Freeze has a show cause tag and would be a tough hire. I can’t see Cristobal leaving the Duck for being the coach of the 2nd team in Alabama. Kiffin could do anything. I can see him doing it to tweak Saban.
I'd take Freeze in a second, but Cristobal could be the biggest get. Kiffin is a a wildcard, probably not their first tier. Still if he hired a DC, would be dangerous.
I know nothing is ever set in stone, but pretty sure they went hard after Cristobal, and his response was the contract extension. I’ve got to imagine Auburn’s opening offer is higher than what Cristobal is getting now. Can’t see him going for it.
