I wonder if Auburn will have an interim by November. Probably depends on his buyout, because what I’ve seen from the fanbase is not a showing of support. His demons make it difficult to give him the benefit of the doubt in tough times.
His contract was $6.5 million for 6 years, or $39 million total. This is his second season, so subtract $13 million, leaving $26 million. If they fire him without cause, they owe him 75% of the remainder of the contract, paid in annual installments, with no offset. So the buyout for Freeze is $19.5 million.
I think they have two more $1.9125 million installment payments remaining on Harsin's payout, so firing Freeze would mean they're paying roughly $6.8 million per year to Harsin and Freeze combined next year for two coaches not to coach them. This doesn't take into account how much the new coach salary is.
