Okay, pros of Freeze: seems to be an extremely high level offensive coach. Beat Bama twice and put up tons of points in doing it. Used a 2 star Bo Wallace and made him into a good QB in this league.
Cons: baggage, length of term, can he work under Pruitt, fit?

Lindsey pros: lot of experience as a coordinator including SEC experience. Good recruiter, friends with Pruitt, good fit. Offense was explosive in previous stops, beat Bama and UGA last year. Offensive struggles this year possibly intern/Shoop situation.

Cons: innovative or too predictable? How much of the offense is Malzahn? His offense has been bad this year and Stidham has taken step back.

Did I miss anything?

That's what I've been saying..As far as calling offense goes, you know what you get with Freeze...a guy that demolishes good defenses.

With Chip...not so much. Could be good, could suck..who knows for sure?

That literally happens everywhere.

Of course they're not on the road or on campus recruiting (at least not in official roles) but it happens constantly. Fans recruit on Twitter, formers players come on campus to help recruit, bagmen give players money, influential alumni recruit kids when they come into contact with them, etc.

I'm going to go in a little early and see if I can plea down to a charge without points. Perhaps the solicitor will want to cross me off his or her file since he or she has more important things to worry about. Nothing that can get me out of it. Atlanta is a place I've had to adapt or get run off the road. I've seen a cop get run off the road and do nothing about it. It's a weird town.

DeerPark and LA Vol both have high level contacts. If they believe Freeze isn’t an option it’s because someone on the board or in rhe administration doesn’t believe Freeze is an option.

It’s not universal, but high up guys like that normally have an inflated sense of their own opinion.

I think LaVol has left the board for awhile.

I will say, that is everything I’ve heard is right. I think we’re deciding between two very qualified candidates in Freeze and Lindsey. That’s refreshing.

I see a lot of people putting air in Lindsey's tires but I see a huge chasm between those two. One is a home run and one feels like hiring Butch after Dooley beat him.

Cant wait for tomorrow boys. I'll be in arraignment for a moving violation. Got in the left lane too early (despite the entire town doing it daily) and a bored cop got me passing over the gore (painted area). Had a clean record before this so I'm marching my petty ass into the court. Wish me luck and if any of you have experience representing yourself in traffic court, I'd appreciate any piece of advice.

Nut punch the cop going in so he isn't able to show up and testify. Could work.

I know what you are saying but regardless, donors/boosters are given specific instructions on things we can't do since we donate to the school. So, the freedom we have as Americans are not the same as what the NCAA allows. It covers former players as well which you know. But, if Hugh Freeze runs into someone and talks to them about Tennessee at this point if he has not been hired, probably doesn't fall into anything. But, no reason to really do it.

Yeah...but all those are, or have been in some capacity, representatives of the University.

Freeze is not, at least not yet, and has never been a representative of the University if Tennessee.

What we did to the Barn this year makes me not want anyone from their staff.

Before you get to carried away there sir, if I remember correctly they dropped 2 wide open touchdowns and had at least 2 overthrows that would have been also. So we did win but I would not completely call it an ass whoopin per se. Their qb was way overrated also but was pretty good last year so something was a miss somewhere.

When I first joined back in 2010, there was a guy on here who was revered. He had a year in his handle and I believe it was 74 or 76... he was a smart asp and could be condescending but also funny and genuine. (Which describes almost everyone, I know. Lol) I haven’t seen him in FOREVER. I know that’s vague but just curious if anyone knows who I’m talking about.

I joined early 2010. During that time, Lord Vader was revered in the RF. And skeeter came along soon after.
