Auburn football head coach Hugh Freeze believes he should have four wins against former Alabama head coach Nick Saban.

Freeze's comments came from Marty and McGee's Talkin' Season show that airs Monday at 7 p.m. CT on SEC Network, but Marty Smith shared a clip on his X account, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter on Monday morning.

Freeze has two wins against Saban from his time as the head coach at Ole Miss in 2014 and 2015. The two other games include the 2023 Iron Bowl where Alabama secured the win with an improbable play on fourth-and-31 to come back and the 2016 Alabama-Ole Miss game where Freeze's Rebels led 24-3 but Alabama scored 24 straight to take the lead before surviving a Rebel comeback attempt.

"Well at Ole Miss, we were one of the first staffs to bring in the tempo RPO that he didn't like at all and tried to get it changed and all that, and then he started doing it. He's a good friend of mine, but I did understand what complicated their calls," Freeze said. "We honestly, Nick is incredible, but I should have four wins against him. We beat him twice and we had them 24-3 the third year, and I wasn't smart enough to slow it down. Then last year it could have easily gone our way. I may have not phrased that exactly right, I don't want everybody, but we could've easily beat him a few more times."

The clip started with Smith asking Freeze about the fourth and 31 play that saw Alabama's Jalen Milroe find Isiah Bond in the corner of the end zone to comeback and win the 2023 Iron Bowl. As much as that game and feelings after were deflating for Freeze, it showed him what Auburn could be.

"We got to coach better, if you're not accountable during the week for little things. It will show up on third down, it will show up on fourth down. Some of that fault is the culture, some of it is coaching, maybe we didn't coach it good enough. Not winning that game sucked, it stunk. It was disappointing, hard but at the same time I didn't think our roster was as good as theirs, and it gave me even more confidence that Auburn can return to one of the top programs in the country, pretty fast because we went toe to toe with them and should've won the game truthfully. It was a mixed bag of this is awful but man we can play with them," Freeze said.
