Hugh Freeze is back in the SEC. The 53-year-old Oxford, Mississippi native will become the next head football coach at Auburn University. The new hire was announced on Monday, after letting former head coach Bryan Harsin go in the middle of the season. After Freeze’s successor and current head coach at Ole Miss Lane Kiffin signed an extension to stay on with the Rebels, it was a no brainer for him to pick the Tigers and leave Liberty University.

I have been writing for Gridiron Heroics since September 2022. I love to write about all things Sports. There is almost nothing that I can't talk sports and debate about, because with me, "It's all about the Sports."
The Minnesota Viking may be sitting pretty at 8-2 overall, but their last game was a rough outing against the now 7-3 Dallas Cowboys. They’ve accomplished the feat of winning close games five-times after coming back from behind to win on game-winning drives. Such wins over the Miami Dolphins and Buffalo Bills have made the Vikings record shine. After losing to the Cowboys on Sunday and with many more games still left to be played, the Cowboys are teaching the Vikings how hard the Super Bowl journey can be with such a thrashing victory. If the Vikings want to take…

Winning was all that was on their minds and it always seemed to come to fruition for their teams as well. Now that father time is creeping up on them, things have changed recently. Now all they think about is staying healthy while keeping their squads record at least .500. So now it’s time to ask, should the 2 main GOATS in the NFL retire? The GOAT’S Aaron…
College Football has seen an uptick in the sport since 2019. Teams are playing a more up-tempo style of ball with no-huddle as the main source of moving the ball up and down the field. Because the game is so fast now, it is almost as if college players are playing in more of a semi-pro game than an amateur contest. How have NIL and the Transfer Portal impacted College football? Being the great investors they are, the NCAA decided to modify its transfer portal rules and also allow players to compensate off of corporate endorsement deals similar to NFL…
