It came after offensive coordinator Derrick Nix spoke with reporters on Monday, and broke down Auburn’s play-calling structure. Nix said he’s in charge of first downs and drive starters, quarterbacks coach Kent Austin does third downs and Freeze, "has the authority to overrule anything we say or do."

The Auburn Tigers will once again have an unconventional three-man play-calling team, and Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin had some fun at their expense.

“Who is ultimately the best man to call these plays? Is it Hugh Freeze? If it’s not Hugh, you need to trust the guys you hired to do the job,” he said. Austin and Nix are basically co-offensive coordinators.
