Regardless of what Freeze did or did not do in his time at Ole Miss. He is a proven winner that takes crap programs and turns them into winners.

If there as ever been a time to bring him in it is now.

I am all for it. Let the big money buy out Pruitt and bring in freeze!

I wouldn’t pay this staff a dime. Let them sue us. They perpetrated a fraud by claiming to be football coaches.

The dude is a winner. He had the whole escort thing at Ole Miss but he’s gotten back into coaching and he would actually WIN here. I am sick and tired of hiring coordinators.

I say bite the bullet with Pruitt and go get Freeze now. We need an offensive minded coach. That is the way football is going and we need to either hop on the train or get left behind. Have wording in his contract that if he has any major violations or off the field incidents he will be fired and his buyout is void. He’s a proven winner and that’s what we need.

Yep. Not looking for a saint. We need a damned football coach. A PROVEN coach who can handle the SEC and take on and beat the big boys. He's the guy we need. Put some sort of morals clause in the contract, but hire this guy. Almost 20 years of this chit. Enough already.

If hookers disqualified coaches, there would be a lot of infilled coaching positions around the country.

I give absolutely no weight to the allegations.

I’m not watching another minute of Tennessee Football until we hire Hugh Freeze. Fulmer and others need to stop pretending like people don’t make mistakes. Freeze is perfect for the job. He’s one of the most proven builder/rebuilder in the country. He’s entering his prime as a coach.

This is why ADs dont listen to idiot fans



In January 2016, the NCAA charged Ole Miss with numerous recruiting violations. An investigation turned up evidence that Ole Miss employees and boosters arranged numerous "impermissible benefits" for players, such as car loans and cash. At least one recruit was suspected of getting help on his college entrance exam.[21]

The investigation reopened soon after star offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil admitted taking money from one of Freeze's assistants.[22] In February 2017—three months after suffering its first losing season since the year Freeze arrived—Ole Miss withdrew from bowl consideration for the upcoming season. The move came on the same day that the NCAA sent an updated notice of allegations charging the Rebels with eight additional violations. Most seriously, it accused Freeze of not monitoring his assistants, and also accused Ole Miss of not properly controlling the program.[21]

On July 13, 2017, Freeze's predecessor, Houston Nutt, sued Ole Miss for defamation, contending that Freeze and school officials falsely blamed him for the violations. As part of discovery for the lawsuit, Nutt's attorneys filed a Freedom of Information Act request for calls Freeze made on his university-issued cell phone during January 2016. Nutt's attorneys contended that Freeze and others at Ole Miss leaked information to the press as part of an effort to smear their client.[23]

While reviewing those records, Nutt's attorneys discovered a call to a number associated with a female escort service, and alerted Ole Miss officials about it. Freeze claimed it was a misdialed number.[24] School officials investigated, and discovered what they later described as "a concerning pattern" of similar calls dating back to shortly after he arrived in Oxford.[25] On July 20, chancellor Jeff Vitter and athletic director Ross Bjork gave Freeze an ultimatum: resign or be fired for violating the morals clause of his contract. Freeze opted to resign; offensive coordinator Matt Luke was named interim coach.[5]

In February 2019, the NCAA punished the Ole Miss football team for the recruiting and academic violations committed under both Nutt and Freeze. The punishments included a two-year postseason ban, three years of probation, and a four-year ban on some scholarships. As well, the NCAA forced Ole Miss to vacate 33 wins from 2010 to 2016. As a result, 27 of Freeze's wins were stripped from the books; only the 2015 season was unaffected. His record at Ole Miss is now officially 12–15; it was 39–25 on the field
