Hugh Freeze mega thread and poll [merged]

[Eastknox865]

...which is the biggest reason I think he’s a crap hire. The dude called hookers on his state issued work phone. I don’t want anybody that stupid mowing my grass.

Well at least they were adults and not children that's one positive

 

[PulaskiVolFan]

If he wins football games he can mow my grass.

So you have no problem with cheating to win I assume, speaks to your character I feel.

 

[PulaskiVolFan]

There is no reading between the lines, if the bylaws do not explicitly give the commissioner the power to deny a hire he doesn’t have it.

He seemed to have the power to deny him getting hired 2 years ago, I doubt that power has changed any.

They all cheat most just cheat the right way. Tennessee cheats

 

[BeardedVol]

Sankey consulted Saban and Gus by telling them they could not hire Freeze and they did exactly as he consulted them to do.

Lol, it's cute that you think Sankey tells Saban he can or can't do anything.

Hey, remember that time that some SEC coaches wanted covid 19 transfer waivers and Sankey said he didn't have the power to change it, that the members had to vote to change it?

Yeah, he also doesn't have the power to change the phrase "consult directly with" to mean "defer decision to" either.

 

[PulaskiVolFan]

Maybe they followed Sankey’s recommendation? He can advise but that’s it.

Yeah, Saban is just going to lay down because Sankey just advised him too, not a chance.

Not what I asked, I asked if he and I'll ask you, Do you mind cheating to win? If you do then I personally think it's a reflection of a person's character.

I've never really thought about it because those are not my decisions to make. But I don't have a problem giving second chances. Freeze didn't commit violent crimes he made mistakes. With the being said I don't believe Tennessee would hire him anyway. This university is old fashioned and prideful.

What can I say, winning is better than losing.

I take it that you are not fond of cheating to win and can only assume that's what you would teach your own when it comes to sports. In the end do cheaters ever really win?

What do you not understand about how bylaws work? If they don’t explicitly state a power the commissioner doesn’t have it.

I've been cheering for UT for 4 decades. Worrying about them being the only clean program in the ncaa never crossed my mind. Didn't diminish any of those wins either

 

[hog88]

Yeah, Saban is just going to lay down because Sankey just advised him too, not a chance.

For an off field consultant position, yeah.

live and learn. Seems to be doing alright at liberty.

Can't keep up can you mr negativity. I stated clearly that the programs could vote and change the bylaws but none of them challenged the bylaw 2 years ago when Saban wanted to hire Freeze, why do you think they've changed their minds now? You thinking Saban is more powerful than the commissioner sounds like something an Alabama commie fan would say, your name isn't Marty is it?

Not what I asked, you either don't mind the cheating or you do, can't have it both ways and not be considered hypocritical.

 

[GVol1966]

I have no problem doing what the competition is doing. It’s called a level playing field. If the NCAA and it’s members were really concerned about morality instead of money then NCAA football would be about as appealing and popular as bowling.
Lifetime bans for cheating coaches and players and rule violaters, millions in fines for schools would clean it up.
But is that what we really want?

 

[utvolpj]

Not what I asked, you either don't mind the cheating or you do, can't have it both ways and not be considered hypocritical.

I simply understand the reality of the sport. You're the one ignoring it

Please, do enlighten myself, and everyone else in the thread, to where is says in section 19.8.1.2 of the SEC bylaws, that the commissioner has the power to veto a coaching candidate. Here, I'll even screen cap it for you before I go make coffee.

 

[Roustabout]

Do you think he would?

No change coming to SEC bylaw that blocked Freeze

That will have been three seasons ago within a few weeks.

 

[The Original Fade]

All the SEC commissioner can do is advise. He can’t block ****. Read the damn bylaws.

 

[BeardedVol]

Besides, Arkansas has Kendal Briles on staff with his previous NCAA Level II violations.

Name the coach you would hire.

Well the 98 team did
