So your telling me there are probably hundreds of coaches who “could” potentially be the head coach for Tennessee.

One of them “Freeze” had issues. Now Tennessee has issues......and your telling me he won’t be the next head coach.

Who are you Nostradamus?

I think everyone understands that. However your putting your opinion out there as if it were “fact.”

He “probably” has zero chance......however you nor I know if they would even talk to him or not. Pure speculation given the circumstance.....which isn’t fact.

I think you need to talk to the people who make the decisions because I’m 100% sure Freeze will never be hired here

VolNation continues to amaze me. Even after the firing of Pruitt ( which a good number were absolutely positive would not happen) many of the same folks are now absolutely positive that Freeze has no chance in hell of getting the job. Have we learned nothing this last decade? This is Tennessee hiring a football coach. Logic does not apply.

And, in my opinion, absolutes are the result of a closed mind.

Fairly confident......I just agreed with you in my post.

Your sure he won’t.
I’m “confident” he won’t.

You said he wouldn’t even get a call. I say your “probably” right......however that “probably” isn’t a fact, it’s an opinion......based on reason.....yet still opinion.

Within 3 years. Scroll down to "Tennessee fires Jeremy Pruitt for cause" podcast.

Snippet from 6:00 on podcast:

“I would risk a million of my dollars. I would go on the table right now and I would put a million dollars on the table for the University of Tennessee. If Hugh Freeze is hired and he doesn’t win 10 games within three years, I would donate a million dollars to the University of Tennessee’s scholarship foundation. A hundred percent. I would, I would put that money on the table. That’s how confident I am.”

I just don't think they are going to give him a look. From a PR standpoint, on the outside looking in, it would be a nightmare as far as getting rid of one NCAA violator and bring someone in that left another SEC school after he had reportedly broken rules as well.

Well he did say 10 games in 3 years not 10 games in a season within 3 years...Left himself room for the back pedal even though Freeze will not be the coach here.

Guys, stop guarding your ignorance! As a program that's about to be put on probation, we aren't hiring a coach who was responsible for putting his previous school on probation! Read my lips...

THERE IS NO PATH WHATSOEVER FOR FREEZE TO BE OUR NEXT HEAD COACH!

At this point, Lane Kiffin has a better shot at being our head coach and even that is extremely unlikely.

Serious Tennessee.....listen to the fans for once!...we want to win! also Freeze deserves a second chance to show he has grown as an individual! Everyone makes mistakes from time to time....just like when Tennessee...time after time....decides to hire another flunky ass coach that does nothing but bring the program down! I really believe Freeze has grown as a person....besides, if he were to come here and screw up again, he may not ever coach again. Another blunder could literally sink his career. So come on Tennessee....give the dude a chance and let's win some ball games!!!...Freeze is our BEST option to WIN!!! PERIOD!!!!...GBO!!!

I read alot of these sportswriters and other clowns offering their 2 cents and saying that Freeze should not be hired at UT because of his scandal at Ole Miss coupled with UT's current issues. For one, the people that were the root cause of these issues at UT are now gone. They should receive a much more severe punishment than the university. NCAA needs to do the right thing here and issue severe penalties for Pruitt, Neids, and Felton, and other guilty (or sloppy, depending on how you see it) staffers, and cut the university some slack. Fulmer is, or will be, gone as well. It was lack of oversight on the part of the head coach and AD that got UT caught. Not saying that the university admin holds no responsibility, but the most severe penalties should be reserved for the former coaches themselves.

Now, back to Freeze. These talking heads and sportswriters saying that he is a risk because of his past are sounding very hypocritical. I am not suggesting that they may have done anything in their past that would rise to the level of infidelity or being involved with an escort, etc. However, I can guarantee you that each one of them has screwed (no pun intended) up big-time at some point during their lives and someone showed them some grace and gave them a 2nd chance. Why should Freeze not be afforded the same. I have seen the work he has done on and off the field since being fired from Ole Miss. I believe he has seen the err of his ways, accepted his punishments/penalties, and is now a better man for it. Obviously, I do not know the man personally but the fact that his family still stands beside him after what he put them through says a great deal. To me, I think this is the best hire for Tennessee, optics be damned. UT is looking at long road to redemption. It would be nice to have a coach who knows and appreciates the hard work and sacrifices that must be made to achieve redemption and the value it holds for him personally, and for the university as well.

I know that this past season has been tough for all sports in terms of revenue generation. COVID has crushed the budgets of programs and organizations in many ways, especially by limiting the number of fans in stadiums and arenas, drastically cutting off their revenue stream. Although the reasoning for an empty Neyland this past season was different, I hope the the UT admin takes into account how the budget would be impacted if Neyland were to stay empty but for their inability or unwillingness to put the best possible product on the field. HughToTheHill. GBO.

“There is a better fit for the Vols and one who would likely jump at the opportunity. Danny White needs to look no further than Hugh Freeze. Just imagine the narrative that could be written about the Vols and Freeze rehabilitating themselves together. Not only would Freeze bring offensive sizzle to Knoxville, he could also talk contrition and repentance, maybe even enough talk to distract attention away from what happened in Knoxville before him.“

“Alabama football fans would love for the Vols to hire Freeze. Tide fans want more retribution from his years in Oxford. We want Hugh back in the SEC, which is why we lobbied Auburn to hire Freeze before they chose Bryan Harsin.”

The fans may want that, but Saban doesn't.
