“Picture first”: Auburn HC Hugh Freeze’s daughter Jordan hilariously fools dad during a night of basketball
Auburn coach Hugh Freeze may be in the thick of the 2024 college football season, but his daughter Jordan Freeze isn't letting him off the hook. She is ensuring that there is some fun between the family members.
Jordan recently posted a picture on her Instagram, posing with Freeze's other daughter, Madison, adding a cheeky caption about tricking her father.
Jordan had fun at the Toomer’s Center at an Auburn basketball game on October 17. She chose to end the night with pictures alongside her husband, Mark McManus, and her sister, Madison Freeze. Bringing her dad into the mix, she captioned the post:
"@coachhughfreeze on the phone: 'yeah you really look like you're on the way' Pictures first [laughing emoji]."
Jordan is the second of Freeze’s three daughters with his wife Jill Freeze. She’s married to Mark McManus. A Liberty University graduate, Jordan's career is tied to athletics like her father’s, but in a different lane. Since August 2021, she has been an impressive athletic relationship liaison for the Other Collective.

Hugh Freeze is facing the heat in Auburn Tigers' 2024 CFB season
Hugh Freeze’s Auburn Tigers (2-4, 0-3 SEC) are heavily down under as they head into Week 8 fresh off their open week. This is Freeze’s second year at Auburn, which hasn’t gone as planned so far, with back-to-back losses in conference play and a recent 31-13 defeat against Georgia adding to the frustration.
Despite the struggles, Freeze remains focused on turning things around, promising to “die trying” to get his team to fight for a full 60 minutes. This comes after the Tigers’ young roster's attempt for six weeks, which has been prone to mistakes. He’s determined to iron out the errors, even as their schedule doesn’t get any easier.
“We, as coaches, have got to expect more of ourselves to put them in position in those moments to make those plays to give us a fighting chance to experience the victories that we so badly desire,” said Freeze (per On3).
Under coach Hugh Freeze, Auburn faces the No. 19 Missouri Tigers (5-1, 1-1 SEC) next. They also have tough matchups against No. 14 Texas A&M and No. 7 Alabama Crimson Tide.
Although some fans question Freeze’s job security, he’s locked in with a contract until 2029, making a split unlikely. His challenge is pushing the Tigers through a tough stretch and delivering on the Auburn faithful's expectations.
