ESPNU talking heads believe Freeze to UT

[Power T-Rev]

Yeah, Sirius XM Channel 84. nonstop college sports talk and broadcasts.

Ok. Thanks

If true, he has to serve 2 game in conference suspension

 

[UTK]

Freeze isn't doing anything until he knows the Bama job isn't open. JMO!

Freeze will take the first big time SEC job he can get.

 

[diehardvolsfan]

ESPNU radio The First Team. Said they are hearing is done pending SEC approval.

If that’s the case the league will turn it down because isn’t he banned from coaching in any capacity for several years? How long ago he get booted from Ole Miss?

Saying "they are hearing" is a long, long way from saying, "Hugh Freeze has been hired......" according to xxxx xxxxxx.

Also I would assume TN hit Freeze with an offer he couldn’t refuse. I would assume around 1.6mil

Only if hired before today... I think. Could be wrong

No he is not. He is completely cleared to coach.

that was only as an HC.

edit: and like OJ said, before today.

I heard its more than this, and close to highest paid coordinator

If true, he has to serve 2 game in conference suspension

Only if he takes a head coaching job

Correct today is the last day of his restriction. Official hiring news should hit tomorrow if true.

 

[Volbucky]

Not true. That's only if he was hired as head coach. And that restriction ends today anyway.

 

[jbuchanan]

Troll job. It wouldn't be ESPNU reporting it, it would be ESPN!!!!!!

ESPN The Ocho IMO

Would have to be announced after 5pm today the way i understand it

Can’t blame them. They are going to want to keep him for 3 yrs atleast.

 

[diehardvolsfan]

No he is not. He is completely cleared to coach.

Well the commissioner better not be a complete Mc@$$hole about this and let him get another chance to prove his worth even if he screwed up in the past ..

Heard UT could afford, and offer upwards of 2mill per

 

[butchna]

I mean we all suspected it was almost a done deal. Per reports recently. The biggest thing is when will they announce people are thinking Saturday.

If it were announced today, it would still be talked out the bejezzus tomorrow. It’s not going to be old news in one day and it’ll leak regardless.

Honestly I don’t think they can do much at this point. If the news is true and it went to the SEC, then TN already talked to the SEC. They wouldn’t waste their time otherwise.

 

[butchna]

Troll job. It wouldn't be ESPNU reporting it, it would be ESPN!!!!!!

Same thing?

 

[MiramarVol]

He is cleared to coach, but Sankey has to ok the deal, let's hope he turns down the Arizona Hotshots. He's ready to coach.

Good lord. That’s crazy.

 

[Power T-Rev]

Good lord. That’s crazy.

If that's what it takes. Do it

 

[OJJ]

Good lord. That’s crazy.

VEnables will be highest paid at over 2mill, insane money
