Trying to be objective in all this noise

[hog88]

but he was fired before the guy could get players for the system it ran

Fulmer wouldn't let him run his O like he wanted to, it wasn't due to lack of talent or him needing "his players". There was only 1 OC Fulmer trusted and that was Cut.

Saban does

Saban also has years and years of equity built up with his board members and superiors. He's proven time and time again that he can handle his business without getting into trouble. Pruitt doesn't even compare to saban. They're not in the same universe rn

Fulmer was -- so was Butch Jones

Meyer flirted with it over a bad WR coach. The AD rubber stamped whatever he wanted and just about went down with him. He was on the stage beside Meyer for a reason.

That's not to say the AD should choose assistant coaches for a HC but the idea that he shouldn't be involved at all doesn't work. And eventually its gonna circle back to him as well. There's a line.

Saban does

I'd say that Saban has more than earned the right to hire whomever he chooses.

Many of you assume someone blocked the Freeze hire. More than likely he turned down the offer or is waiting for a better offer. He is probably holding out for a HC job. I would if I were him.

Or, once interviewed, it was determined he was not a good fit, baggage or otherwise.

If they are sending their child to Bama and Saban, I doubt morality is really factoring much into the decision.

No, but im sure winning football games and competing for Championships does

Hey,
I'm new here too. Been a long time reader but just decided to join in. Not sure if a "coaching search" was the best time to sign up, but what the hey! Good luck!!

I think the risk/reward proposition on Freeze is not at all clear. If he was a slam dunk hire, he'd have a job.
