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!

The board documents note that committee members “must avoid involvement in the day-to-day operations of the athletics programs, including personnel matters and matters involving particular student-athletes.” The committee’s meetings will be subject to the Tennessee Open Meetings Act.
