Get back to me when your spouse cheats on you about how "excusable" it is.

Past that, get back to me when you're dumb enough to use your company provided phone to arrange escorts.

Jeez. What a 5 star general in the Maroons.

Not married dude. And if I was, and she did, I just hand her a divorce and move on. There so much sadness right now, that I feel that infidelity in this day and age is something not worth getting really bent out of shape over anymore.

Indeed, with the divorce, and you wouldn't recommend her to your friends. That's my point.

Ah, yes. The moral giant that is Urban Meyer.

Urban Meyer's Florida says Hi or High or "yo, cuz, call coach and get me bailed outta here...."

I offered a perfect example of a university being just fine recruiting with a bowl ban and your counter argument is the guys morality. Choose your argument guy... you’re just slinging stupidity on the wall and hoping it sticks with shallow counter arguments. I know the guy is sleezy as they come but that wasn’t the argument.

Jerry Green might be the worst coach in the history of UT athletics. The team won in spite of him.

How much basketball have you played? I guess what I’m saying is that if you can’t see that it’s exactly the same for Barnes then you clearly don’t know the game very well.

You don’t get it.

Hugh Freeze is a good coach. You don’t need 5 star recruits to win at Liberty.
He does need 5 stars to play with the big boys and he had them at Ole Miss once upon a time. But how he got them will never be forgotten by the other SEC coaches and I believe it would keep him from getting the type players he would need to beat GA, FL, Bama. So in the end, without the players he would be 8-5ish type coach. I want someone that can beat the big boys and he cannot do it without the best recruits.

It is really that simple. Look for a coach that can recruit with Saban and Kirby and that is the guy we want. If there is any doubt, move on to the next coach. With Freeze there is doubt.

Lol. Neither Harbaugh or Herman can recruit with Saban and Smart. Neither coach would be able to beat hi either. Harbaugh couldn’t even beat Dantonio at MS on a regular basis. He would get destroyed in the SEC just like Herman. Herman has underachieved at Texas.

There is only a coach or two that can recruit like Saban and Smart. And Dabo and Meyer aren’t available. Look at Mullen. He beat Smart. I think Freeze is just as good of an offensive mind. It’s been said before and needs to be echoed. TN recruits itself. Doofus, Botch and Pruitt all recruited well at TN. Winning fuels recruiting. We need a HC that can win. Freeze can do that. Like I said your stance on Freeze is ridiculous. His resume and recent success reiterated that.

Didn’t claim not be an expert. Saying SEC coaches are going to give recruits and their parents the positives of their program and the negatives of their opponents program is absolute. I was merely stating that I can confirm that.

Again, I think Freeze would make a decent coach again in the SEC but not great. I gave the reason I feel this way, based solely on his recruiting abilities are severely damaged now.
Had we hired him in 2013 instead of Butch he may have been great here but he had only been in the SEC for 1 year so who knows.
I like Harbaugh and Herman better and they may be available next year.

You would suggest we hire Harbaugh??? He is really doing a bang up job at Michigan. Wow.

Yea......that goes where I stated he had a good background.

Still doesn’t change the face he has done or has proven he can do “some of what I am looking for in the next coach”

Freeze has done everything.

Just my opinion, and I certainly won’t be making the hiring decision......but what “I” am looking for drives my posts.

His HC career and success is shorter than Freeze (3 years) but better so far.

Cheated poorly AND was personally dumb with his phone.

Has he learned the beauty of burner phones and better bag men? Likely.

Frankly, is he better than Pruitt as a coach? Yeah, light years better. Is he personally dumb? Obviously.

Freeze is a bandaid on a gaping wound at UT. Without ditching Fulmer, the bleeding continues regardless of coach.
