Hugh Freeze mega thread and poll [merged]

[Godfatha]

Would be nice to have someone who isn’t an absolute cretin as HC

 

[C-south]

Will he work for free for about 3 years?

 

[wmcovol]

Is there a possibility that the SEC commish would blackball Freeze coming back to the conference?

I don't know all the particulars regarding Freeze's history and if he burned any SEC bridges in leaving.

F Sankey. He lets Calipari come in after 2 major NCAA violations at previous schools, let’s Pearl come in after screwing us. If Tennessee doesn’t hire Freeze, someone in the SEC will within 2 years.

 

[Undercs]

I would imagine he has to have a legitimate reason to do things like that. Something better than "I don't like your coach, so....."

Freeze has a show cause to coach again in the SEC.

I don’t see how anyone can block free employment and not face legal issues.

AND.
Chadwell is from 30 miles north of Knoxville.
He even named his son Heath.
76-51 record as a HC, at 3 different stops. Has shown progress at each stop that he stayed at for more than one season.
He's turned Coastal Carolina into a top 15 team. He's in his early 40's

Billy Napier coach of Louisiana is also from Tennessee (Cookeville) also early 40's and winning HC record. Has coached with Swinney and Saban. Offensive minded coach as well.

Freeze, Chadwell, and Napier will be in the SEC within the next 2 seasons. Tennessee needs to grab one of them.

Freeze
Chadwell
Napier
In that order.

Where is that official at?

 

[DustyRockSolid]

If Pruitt starts JG and UT loses to Vandy Saturday then odds are better than you think for a change being made (regardless of Covid).

You're my dude.

 

[salutethehill]

Never heard of A to Z Sports, but I have now. Looks like their “rumor” is working. Has anyone seen it posted anywhere else?

 

[901 Orange]

Because that job is open

And thats how u ruin your HC career with the big boys. U cant just jump on the 1st open job. He has 0 ties to that school or particular region. Ole Miss was a no brainer for him bc he was born there and it's the closest SEC campus to Memphis. He has spent his entire coaching career basically in the mid-south/ West TN area. Schools like Ole Miss, Arkansas, UT, or Memphis would all make sense to me if any of those schools were available.

 

[YankeeVol]

I think Pruitt gets a pass on this year no matter how bad. But I think if next year(when things may be more normal), WHEN he flops against the "Big 3," he is gone.

Fyp

Good point. If Pearl can coach in the conference, then I don’t see how they can say no to anybody.

 

[VolMarine1371]

Freeze
Chadwell
Napier
In that order.

Rather have Fickle behind Freeze!

 

[m1al]

Where is that official at?

NCAA hit him with a one year show cause.. Obviously that's expired..

 

[cobbwebb0710]

This is going to make me openly cheer for Vanderbilt

GBO!!

 

[cobbwebb0710]

Such a long, long shot right now we don't have the funds for a Top Hire like Freeze and the buyout of dummy and staff is like $20 million, just don't see it happening. If Pruitt continues to play JG and we lose to Vanderbilt all bets are off and they may just have to fire Pruitt.

Hope the deep pocket boosters are listening to what is happening. Mr Ergin are you listening at Dish Networks, last I checked your net worth is now exceeding $10 BILLION and we would be very grateful if you could spare some pocket change and make this happen!!

I’d probably switch from Directv to Dish.
GBO!!

"While you shouldn’t expect Sankey to roll out the red carpet for a Freeze return, the conference office block on an SEC school hiring him is no longer there, multiple sources told AL.com."

Could Hugh Freeze soon be back in the SEC?

 

[Boston Vol]

maybe he felt something that day

 

[cobbwebb0710]

The rumor also is he is bringing Scott Frost as OC from Nebraska and Phil Snow as DC from the Carolina Panthers.

Freeze. Frost and Snow. Cool coaching staff.

Lame McDad jokes are lame.
GBO!!

 

[GetYouSomeofThat]

Freeze. Frost and Snow. Cool coaching staff.

The coolest one might say

No he had a show cause from the NCAA but that expired. Word is Sankey didn’t want Freeze back in the conference until Ole Miss was off probation. Which they now are

 

[JBVolunteer]

Freeze is talented but he comes with more baggage than Lane Kiffin ever did. Whomever hires him is begging for trouble.

 

[VolMarine1371]

Then nothing stopping him from gaining and seeking gainful employment of his choice.

Saban asking for trouble to if we hire him. He has actually beaten good teams and ranked teams

I didn’t say what he felt....
