Hugh Freeze mega thread and poll [merged]

[tastycar]

My boss texted me a while back. I was watching football, and responded. He then texted me back and said, "I know you don't drink, but are you drunk?". I had misspelled almost every word

I hate seeing a text I sent hours before and realizing it's gobbledygook. Oh, so that's why they didn't text back. They had no idea what the hell I was even saying

 

[JCHateSteve]

My phone doesn't autocorrect. I misspelled a word a while back, and someone really got triggered. So now, I don't even try to check it. Best was when I used "pre Madonna" in here, someone got mad

My phone does autocorrect. I think it actually give me the wrong word more often than not. I have had a bunch of awkward text message moments with friends thanks to it. I got a new Chromebook for Christmas, so I am am back on a proper keyboard again, thankfully. I never did understand why people get so on about grammar on a message board. But, I was a Speech Comm major, not an English major.

There is really a lot of difference in covering for child rape, than being with a prostitute. Both are very wrong, but child rape is worse.

Agreed...


And how effed up does one need to be to attempt to equate the two?

 

[peerless98]

Is this a message board or a term paper?

Yes, the answer is yes.

We're talking the allegations with inappropriate behavior around highschoolers.

 

[37620VOL]

To be clear since you said “come on?”....

You don’t believe McQueary? And if you don’t then you have to be in the camp that believes no one in the program heard or seen a damn thing when this nightmare occurred. Started in 1976 and went on for 30 some years and only McQueary (20 years in to it) saw and heard something.

Schiano was asked to be interviewed multiple times to clear his name and make a support statement for the victims, he chose not to. You have to forgive people if they don’t necessarily believe he didn’t know when he refused to speak on the record. There is room for doubt.

I believe the allegations against Schiano the same as I do against Freeze... I admit that I don't know the truth. Consistency. That's all I ask. If you said no to Schiano because of allegations, you should be against Freeze too.

I have been clear many times that I don’t think Freeze could get it done here. My reasoning is different from yours though. I think Saban, Kirby, and the like would beat Freeze over the head with his baggage when it comes to recruiting.

Thank you for YOUR opinion. GB

No Schiano did not go under oath AND never testified AND was never even deposed. It was a guy (McQueery) saying that a guy (Bradley) said that he (Schiano) said he might have seen something but he wasn't sure. McQueery couldn't recall the detail of whether it was morning or night but was able to quote hearsay verbatim, come on? AND it all may or may not have happened 30 years ago.

I would like to hire Freeze. But if we can't hire Schiano over one accusation, how can we hire Freeze with multiple strange accusations plus the NCAA violations?

Because desperate times call for desperate measures.
We must face the fact that very few highly touted and valued experienced coaches want our job.
Hugh Freeze does.

You won't get much argument on this very point. For a lot of folks like me both cross the line of unacceptable behavior and neither should be considered for the face of our program. Nothing to do with x's and o's. I personally want more Barnes like faces and less Tyndall like faces for our program. Don't have a clue where admin and money guys stand on these type issues. But risk is what risk is and the money guys got where they are by minimizing risk.

Gus Malzahn come on down!

 

[Vfl2407]

Gus Malzahn come on down!

I’d make Campbell and Freeze say no first, then call Gus.

Schiano’s name was linked to having witnessed child Molestation in sworn Grand Jury testimony. Big difference between the two.

 

[Mightyvol]

Gus Malzahn come on down!

Gus would be crazy to take this job at this point in time. He just got $21+M. I don’t see him swapping one pressure cooker job for another that is not close to beating its traditional rivals and will have a very tough time beating KY and MO. Same type schism in booster base and very poor k look leadership from UTAD. Take the money and run Gus!

 

[volmanNC]

I just can't understand why so many people think Gus, an Auburn reject, would be good for TN...

 

[Border Vol]

Gus has beaten Nick Saban three times and his teams usually win 8-10 games which sounds good to me at this point in time.

He should take a year or two off. I certainly would.

 

[plumbervol]

That's how you sneak in under the radar. The bus station is the last place media would look. He'll probably take an Uber to Sweet P's to grab a bite after that long bus ride.

Since it is the bus terminal he will probably stroll around the outside of the terminal looking for action before getting an Uber for the Emerald Club. Sweet P's, I am not touching that...

 

[VFL-82-JP]

I heard somewhere that Freeze's family is already moving to Knoxville. Closed on a house yesterday.

Freeze has been linked to actually doing creepy things to children. We're doing mental gymnastics here because he's a better coach.

Gus will coach again at a high profile school just not this year, the coaching carousel is done for this year, it’s putting a staff together season.

Rumors and they are weak. Making a kid change their shirt? Come on

 

[TheMookieMonster]

I think we’re approaching the time to close this thread. If Pruitt hasn’t been fired by the end of this week, it ain’t happening.

Big difference between sworn depositions, under penalty of perjury, and message board accusations.
