At left is Auburn trustee Jimmy Rane. Regardless of their matchups on the field over the years, Auburn head coach Hugh Freeze and former Alabama head coach Nick Saban have maintained a close relationship. Now, after Saban’s retirement in January, the two have talked more often.
“Nick and I, we were in Jupiter for spring break together,” Freeze told reporters on the driving range. “We actually talk fairly regularly now. It’s peaceful. Everybody knows I love Nick. We’re good friends away from the field and when we don’t play each other.”“Coach Saban can get it in the hole,” Freeze said. “That was back in March when I hadn’t been playing and I think he got the best of me. I look forward to a rematch now that I’m playing some.
Saban retired in early January after Alabama’s loss to eventual national champion Michigan in the Rose Bowl. But Freeze and Saban have a friendship long before the former Crimson Tide coach’s retirement.
