U all amaze me.” Coach calls his daughters, his rock stars, praising their strength. ADVERTISEMENT Growing up in a football family, she has been immersed in the gridiron all her life. She consistently shares photographs from the Auburn Stadium, cheering for her dad. Last year, she attended several of his games, supporting him throughout his career.

You are so beautiful in your father’s eyes.” According to the U.S. Sun, she is a student at Auburn. There is no further information available regarding her course or the date of her graduation.

In an emotional statement, she wanted to show “the reality of what many families are walking through right now,” she said. “Full transparency today 🫶 praying for the many families in this industry who are walking through.” Auburn paid Hugh Freeze a buyout of $15 million. Madison also touched on that subject. “People can say what they want about money,” Madison said, claiming that her dad was promised four years at the program. “Not enough money that can make you feel like this was worth it or we wanted this to happen.” ADVERTISEMENT Her disappointment was evident in every word she spoke. Hugh Freeze came to Auburn after a celebrated record at Ole Miss. Unfortunately, he couldn’t replicate that success with the Tigers. “We came here hoping to restore a program, and we were promised four years,” Madison said, “and that didn’t happen.” She continued. “I get that people didn’t see the results that they wanted in three years, but we all knew that this was gonna be much longer than a three-year rebuild,” Madison said. Presently, more than 10 head coaches have been fired, with the buyout bonanza reaching a whopping $200 million. “This industry is very tough.” Madi has been a constant support, standing by him. Unafraid to even call out Paul Finebaum. “We love Paul, but tell him to go kick rocks.” Aside from being a student, she also does brand collaborations.
