A rumor floating around suggested Charlie Anderson was the internal resistance hamstringing the Freeze hire for OC.
At first blush it seemed plausible that he could be exerting pressure on the AD considering he helped get Coach Fulmer hired.
After all, that would make it difficult to allow a hire he wasn't "behind" for anyone in that position.
On the other hand, that can't possibly be true because anyone on the Athletic Committee cannot be involved with personnel matters or decisions,
like the hiring of Freeze. In fact, in the words of the official board documents,
Certainly the hiring of personnel for the Offensive Coordinator constitutes part of the day-to-day operations of the athletics program, including personnel matters.
That's all well and good, but if that only applies to Athletic Committee members, how does it apply to Charlie Anderson?
He was named the Chairman of the Athletic Committee. If he's not a member, no one is.

We know he would neither intentionally violate the boundaries set forth for the Athletic Committee nor allow anyone on the committee to do so.
Therefore, we may all be grateful that he is preventing any internal resistance to the Freeze hire which would be a violation which means we can all rest assured that any internal resistance was nothing more than a rumor.
Let it Freeze!

Not true. Briarcrest christian school put out a statement in support of hugh freeze, and all these allegations were debunked. Not a single complaint for years until they started attacking his life. Sad situation. Freeze and family are well thought of and respected in all of north ms. His dad was a pastor and football coach as well. Everybody that knows anything about them knows they are as good as gold. Everyonecan make mistakes, but hugh harrassing young girls is a blatant lie.I heard a rumor that concerns were brought up by the schools Title 9 coordinator.
I’m not saying it’s not a lie. I’m saying that Tennessee’s Title9 compliance person put up an objection to Freeze being hired. At least that’s the rumor.Not true.

Disagree. This is all about politics, exchanging money, and handshakes under the table. It's a state institution. Are Haslam and the BOT masterminds behind a cooridinator hire ? Maybe not, but I have no doubt there are power players, secret handshakes and chess games being played.People want two things: 1) a scapegoat and 2) reasons beyond incompetence. It’s much easier to say “WELL THE BOT AND HASLAM WANT THE PROGRAM TO SUCK OR THEY WANT CONTROL OF THE PROGRAM AND HAVE EVERYTHING” when it simply isn’t the case. Haslam might have wanted Schiano as HC, but he definitely wasn’t the only one.
No, the reason Tennessee is in the state it is isn’t a conspiracy or a power struggles, it’s just good old fashioned incompetence and unfortunate luck. If High Freeze becomes the Alabama or Auburn OC, or maybe the Liberty coach, it isn’t because the BOT sabotaged it, it’s because Freeze was patient and had better options.

The Haslam family runs the University. They have spent a lot of time and money making sure of it.
You're never going to find a smoking gun where a booster, via email or a recorded phone call, says "Hire Greg Schiano as HC." It doesn't work like that. When someone in control of, or trying to influence, a situation wants to disguise their control of influence, all they have to do is send a signal and people respond accordingly.
Our boosters seem to always feel it necessary.Only if they felt it necessary. No sense in being paranoid.
With the recent Title 9 problems and all the $$$ that cost us you can bet that we're still being watched very closely so that's a legit concern to many people.
It's also a legit concern that the NCAA will be watching our recruiting extra closely if we hire Freeze since it's well known that he and his staff paid players to join his program.
Anyone that thinks the Haslam family doesn't want power to say who gets hired is in denial because they want a say in everything including hiring the waterboys and janitors.
VFL...GBO!!!
