"I think the Hugh Freeze stuff has some legs"

This is correct if he was a HC head have a show cause and a two game suspension but as a coordinator none of that applies
Indeed true but for whatever reason sec wouldn’t allow the OC job, perhaps because of the possible one year window. Even that closes tomorrow. Supposedly the sec has signed off on the hire this go round ( cannot recall where I read that) perhaps for that reason. Really doesn’t matter to me, if he is available...take him before someone else does. He is definitely the best piece on the board.

The rumor was that Saban was trying to hire him as an offensive analyst. We know that’s a precursor to a bigger job sooner rather than later in that Bama job factory, but it was headed off because of that eventuality imo. The SEC honchos knew they couldn’t restrict him forever but at least one season was good for optics...once again imo.

This is what I had gathered as well.
11/30 was the end of that period anyway.
I hope that is the hold up.
I don’t want Saban getting his hands on another weapon

They didn't disallow it last year, they discouraged it but never said he couldn't be hired. There are a couple of articles on it.
Which was a thinly veiled way of saying " We didn't say you cant hire him but we would prefer you not hire him so we don't have to invent some BS reason to investigate your hostess program."
