Hugh Freeze mega thread and poll [merged]

[SaintLouisVol]

You also have to consider that the NCAA likely will not have issued its final decree before the new coach is hired. It may take them months. Hiring Freeze would only hurt the outcome.

I don’t think the multiple “integrity” lines from Randy Boyd was an accident. That seemed to me it was direct shots at Freeze.

I’m not so sure that’s a bad thing. Yes he beat Bama a couple times but his team would also turn around and lose to someone like Memphis. Freeze looks like he could be fools gold but I guess we won’t know for sure.

 

[orangelo]

Boyd is a politician and if there is anything we’ve learned about politicians it’s that you take their word with a grain of salt

 

[BondJamesBond]

I am afraid you may be right, seems like a Steel as HC or at least DC when all the dust settles!

Isn't Steele in his early 60s? I thought the goal of having a "ten year coach" indicated it wouldn't be him.

There is no chance that we hire freeze, but it has nothing to do with what Randy said today. He had to give the message in an effort to stay ahead of the NCAA. It was lip service and nothing more.

Integrity? He does realize this is SEC football, right? What we've done is no different and likely minor in comparison to others in this league do regularly.

He wears a suit and Hob Nobs with the other administration idiots, he’s completely out of touch with reality

Not sure but philip said ten years but cant believe him either

Winning > integrity

 

[cd12]

Freeze was never an option.

as much as I want to win, we have to try and do it the right way. we can not go on sinning, after knowing we are sinning.

He did. Continued that he wouldn't be AD at 80.

 

[arkyvol]

I hear that Jeff Fisher is interested. Mediocrity personified (which would be a step up for this program).

 

[UTwild82]

We're not going to hire the guy guilty of big time ncaa violations while facing big time ncaa violations ourselves? Huh.

 

[VolForLife83]

BUMP

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

It's over for the Freeze backers. Boyd and Plowman make that clear without mentioning names. Apparently these violations would make it a look like idiots are making the decisions if they hired Freeze.

Y'all would be best to move on to new names that are realistic.

Many on here thought for sure that Pruitt was staying. Many thought Fulmer would still be the AD. Nobody knows who or when someone will get hired.

Freeze isn't getting hired and I would like the hire.

Yeah who needs a good HC that actually wants the job. Also those violations are over and done with. Freezes name should be cleared.

[sonofUT62]

Been trying to tell people that for weeks but the mob wouldn’t listen...just called me a sheep

Almost as many times as you predicted Pruitt wouldn’t be fired. Turns out you’re both wrong and annoying.

 

[C-south]

After the way the university tossed people under the bus today I doubt anyone of any substance will lining up for the job.

 

[chattavol420]

I did t think anything he says matters. It’s obviously more a decision for the incoming ad and plowman. And the whole dog and pony show today just reek end of fakeness anyway. The whole were so proud of you Phillip fulmer thing literally made me embarrassed to be a fan. That doofus hired the doofus that got us in this position

Yeah who are they kidding? There sure isn't integrity in being a dam loser like we have been lately!

Hes a good coach but a terrible cheat. We can't gamble on him being a moron again.

He has rehabbed at Liberty. I believe he is a changed man. Whomever the AD is needs to at least kick the tires with Freeze.

Just like with criminal proceedings, Felons have baggage for years after completing their sentence. His issues did non equate to misdemeanors.
