Because Freeze, from all accounts, has rehabilitated his career and character while at Liberty. Of the guys you listed only Freeze is worth taking a chance on.

Besides beating Alabama twice what has Freeze done that was extraordinary? He lost to 4 unranked teams the years he beat Alabama. His record at Ole Miss was similar to the other coaches there except for Ed O. He is playing with a team with a lot of D1 talent at Liberty competing against a teams that are lesser in talent. He has about as much baggage as any Sec coach ever has. Sure he would be better than Pruitt. Like Kiffin, I do not understand the fascination with him. I believe the guys who turned down Auburn yesterday are better solutions for us than Freeze. BTW I just heard Freeze has now been contacted by Auburn.

Getting elite talent to play at Liberty is a huge accomplishment.

To all the big money boosters, highly paid coaches, AD's, univ. president, chancellor, etc..., SWALLOW YOUR EGO AND GET OVER YOURSELVES!!!. Like it or not, this isn't about you. It is about the student athletes who have been blessed with physical talent and the opportunity to showcase them on the football field and in other sports. Most importantly, it is about us, the fans, and true supporters of UT athletics. Why, because we have more invested than simply our checkbooks. If these boosters want to be true "Donors", then do so by the true definition of the word. A donation is something of value given with no expectations of anything in return. Currently, our boosters act more like lobbyists than true donors. They belong in Washington DC, not Knoxville.

This football program was once great. It was once feared. Saturday games and events used to be a theatrical show as much as a sporting contest. I am not one whose life revolves around UT Football. When I was younger, and UT had people in place who actually gave two sh!ts about the football program and placed its success above their personal egos, I never missed a game. Either in person or on tv. I used to record every game, even if I was going to the game. Now, not so much.

To end with this: To the "decision makers", I don't care if the candidate is your choice or not, go find UT a coach who is competitive, knows football, gives a sh!t about UT football and winning, does not care who gets the glory as long as the program is successful, is humble enough to let his assistants do their jobs, and can manage a successful program. It isn't Pruitt, sure wasn't Lyle, not Dooley, and obviously wasn't Kiffin. Stop putting, "bargain bin coaches" on the sidelines of Neyland. Go get someone that knows what they are doing because they have led winning programs there before and know what it takes to get there. If you do that, I think you will find your fan support (revenue) for UT and its student athletes stronger than ever before.

I admire your spirit but I just don’t care enough to give a $h!t anymore. I’m broken and tired. From a beaten and battered old Vol fan, I leave you with this, keep the fight and attack attack attack! Make this administration remember you for the rest of their lives!
GBO!!

Freeze is a helluva coach. Why you feel Liberty all of a sudden has this wealth of talent that is so much better than other schools in that same division is beyond me. He’s done a fantastic job there scheme, evaluating, and developing as well as in game. When Auburn gets him then we all will see. Same with Kiffin who is a helluva coach as well. That’s just reality not homerism. Things for Saban will be much tougher in the coming years having to face Jimbo, Leach, Kiffin and now likely Freeze
