I hope that whether Pruitt/Fulmer reach out to Freeze is not dependent on what Sankey says. Last year would have been too soon but bringing Freeze in from the cold to an OC position is punishment enough for what he was reputedly doing. Whether our bagmen get more aggressive or not is a whole 'nother matter.

Not only didn Sankey say “no” when Pruitt inquires but they told Bama the same when they looked at hiring him as just an analyst.

This dude was hiring prostitutes. Get over it.

Watch, as soon as we hire our OC I bet Freeze ends up at Bama.

Considering how deeply Saban owns the powers that be, perhaps that was the plan all along.

The top programs bribe the players but the truly great programs (Alabubba) bribe the conference.

Its not as easy as just hire him and defy the Sanky. You have to stay in good standings with him. Just in the case that some real sh*t goes down he cannot make it worse on you. That being said he would be a great hire from a recruiting and offensive standpoint.

According to the NCAA hearing officer, Freeze didn't personally commit any violations but failed in monitoring his assistants so why is there any issue?

Greg Christopher, Xavier’s athletic director and the chief hearing officer for the Ole Miss case, said the committee felt Freeze simply didn’t know his assistants were committing the violations:

“A lot of people will throw head coach responsibility into one big bucket. But a lot of times people don’t step out and realize there are two prongs to the head coach responsibility,” Christopher said. “There’s failure to promote an atmosphere of compliance and there’s failure to monitor.”

Since the committee didn’t feel as if Freeze was willfully ignoring the violations, he didn’t receive as severe of a punishment as others. But, Christopher added, the NCAA committee still wanted to send a message with the penalty:

“He did not meet the obligation in monitoring the assistant coaches and the boosters,” Christopher said. “I think by looking at both aspects of head coach responsibility you get to how we tailored the penalty.”

Probably what Saban wanted after he couldn't figure out how to stop his offense two years straight. Call the front office and have the HC tossed, based on whatever justification was needed.

I hadn’t listened to Tony Basilios radio show in a while.
But, just tuned in and he is going rogue.
Says that all big time schools pay players.
Says we haven’t been doing so but must start doing it to compete with the big boys.
Also saying that Pruitt and Fulmer both want Hugh Freeze but have been told by Commissioner Sankey not to.
Basilio says many power people at UT want us to ignore Sankey and hire Freeze anyway.

I know many here hate Basilio and think he’s a joke.
But, I just found what he is saying today pretty interesting.

The day paying college players start getting paid above board is the day college football dies.

He's not wrong. It may come out, or it may not, but college sports are corrupt. I'm afraid it'll eventually ruin it as we love it.

If we do not hire Freeze, and Auburn does, we can throw away the SEC says “no” argument

Under what legal authority is the SEC denying employment to Freeze? He did not receive a restriction from the NCAA. Is it some sort of ethical standard they are relying on?

I could see UT blocking the hire but a down UT is bad for SEC business. I could see UT doing a lot of stupid things to itself as usual.

Seems California won a case vs. the NCAA because they (NCAA) were preventing gainful employment of a coach. Or something like that. Seems it was just last year.

They're not denying him employment, they're just saying it won't be at one of their member institutions. It's no different than you applying for a job, the company finds something in your background and denies your application. They're not stopping you from working. They're just stopping you from working for them.

Okay, so exactly what is Basilio saying that is not true? I have found him to have much more insider info that is correct than many others out there.
I think hiring of Freeze would be perfect for UT, but UT seldom does the right thing when it involves the "splash hires". We won't hire him, which is a shame.
