Following a loss to Kentucky, Auburn has fired football coach Hugh Freeze, who managed just 15 victories in his two-plus seasons on the Plains.

Kentucky continues to bring up the rear at the base of the SEC and is still searching for its first conference win of the year ahead of Saturday’s trip to face Auburn. The Tigers aren’t much better off by comparison, though they at least have the SEC monkey off their back after last week’s win over Arkansas stopped a slide of four straight defeats.

Auburn fell to Kentucky 10-3 on Saturday night at Jordan-Hare Stadium. The game included Hugh Freeze making a quarterback change before fans serenaded the Auburn coach with boos and “fire Hugh” chants as he left the field. With the loss, Auburn falls to 4-5 on the season and 1-5 in the SEC.
