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 talk more often.
Freeze was asked Wednesday morning before playing in the Pro-Am at the Regions Tradition in Birmingham about his relationship with Saban after his retirement.
“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.”
During that trip, Freeze and Saban played golf together.
