Hugh Freeze was informed Tuesday, while at SEC media days, there are coaches who believe he is the best when it comes to second-half adjustments. The Auburn coach hopes one of those coaches is Alabama’s Nick Saban.

AL.com’s Joe Goodman asked Freeze how he tackles the task of preparing for the second half against opponents. Prior to that, Goodman said he has been told by coaches that Freeze reigns supreme when it comes to preparing for the second half of games at halftime.

“Well, what coach said that?” Freeze asked. “Was it coach Saban? That would be nice coming from him.”

Freeze always seems to have a connection with the Alabama coach.

The former Ole Miss coach is one of only three coaches to beat Nick Saban more than once. The other two are former Auburn coach Guls Malzahn and former LSU coach Les Miles 3.
