Why Would Freeze Do Well Here?

[madbamahater]

How many of you knew Liberty has a football team? This should answer your question.

 

[allvol17]

I'm going to go with subject-verb agreement during press conferences for $100 Alex....

 

[FiremedicVOL127]

I legit don't know anything about Hugh Freeze. Is he a good motivator, good strategist, good recruiter, etc? I know he had a good record at Ole Miss in the SEC west and is doing well at liberty. But why would he do well at Tennessee?

On that last note, are his past troubles an indicator of how well he would do? Like can he actually recruit high end talent without cheating (or getting caught lol)

he just isn't a suckass bag full of suck like the suck meister we have now.

Why would Freeze do well here?

Because he's a great coach

and why is he a great coach?

Because he beat Bama a couple of times is the only reason I could think of.

Very skilled offensive mind. Knows how to exploit weaknesses and adjust. Good with motivation although the religious stuff might rub some players the wrong way.

I did coach against him way back in the day when he was at Briarcrest

Being from Memphis i've played against that Briarcrest team when he had them. They were pretty sound in all 3 phases. Freeze was kinda like a rockstar at the time, he was the hottest name in the city. The guy has worked his way up from ground 1 literally.

Because we would give him a phone that couldn't be traced.

 

[amishvol]

I think he would do well here, but honestly I just want to watch an offense that doesn't struggle to score more than one touchdown per game.

That is a lot of suckage you are referring to

 

[Remy]

If he puts a team on the field that plays like hell and wins on Saturdays, hookers and weed be damned, I'm fine with it if he walks down front on Sundays and gets forgiven.

 

[JohnWardForever]

Because he wins, a lot. SMH...

Yep. Another thread looking for hits. If you really are a football guy, you KNOW the answer.

 

[ru4real-really?]

and why is he a great coach?

Nicky can give you the best answer to this!

 

[cbatey1]

Because we don’t care if he cheats as long as he wins and doesn't get caught.

FYP

Are you for hire? I would support this over our current situation. The fact you coached against a great coach is good enough for me

To be fair, my opinion of him is primarily a function of what he did at Ole Miss.

What he's doing at Liberty, while it is really good for them (they were a mediocre FCS program just a few years ago), I think is kind of overrated. With the exception of Virginia Tech those teams he's beaten this year are complete and total garbage, a few probably being borderline Division II-level teams.

 

[MWAVolfan]

Yes his teams typically play above their talent and he would bring a fun offense and a good defense to compliment.

I reject the notion he could bring a fun offense with JG at the helm. To run a fun offense you have to have competent players.

 

[MWAVolfan]

I'm looking for an opinion on why Hugh is good. His record is a result, not the why.

He's good because he paid 5* players to come to Ole Miss.

By this logic we should hire whoever was coaching Louisiana-Monroe in 2007.

 

[lifeisdeep]

There are no guarantees - he could bomb. Lots love Mike Leach and he’s stinking it up (year 1).

Remind us of the last time Leach ever had a team ranked #1 in the country? Or how many times he has beaten the best coach in the history of college football? Not really a valid comparison.

 

[lifeisdeep]

Great recruiter, players will run through a wall for him, has a great record vs Saban, rebuilt Ole Miss into a legit power in the West, innovative offensive mind, whipping ass at Liberty, said Tennessee is his dream job. Take your pick of any of the above.

I didn't realize he had said UT was his dream job. In light of that, every single booster and administrator who is blocking us getting him needs to go f himself and get the hell out of this program. They have kidnapped it and it doesn't belong to them, as much as they think it does.

 

[lifeisdeep]

Lol. You really think Freeze would strike fear into Saban if he came here?? We would still get steamrolled by Bama. Just maybe not quite as bad.

There's dumb, and then there's this comment. It has every bit as much validity as did the comments of naysayers who said Brady was only good because of Belichick and would bomb with the Bucs.

Come on man, don’t sugar coat it. Tell us what you really think!

If you saw the final score, you might not wanna hire me...

Bit of backstory. I was young (early 20s) and the guy that ran our department was a volunteer HC for inner city Memphis school. He asked if I wanted to help and I figured it would be good for career. By the second season, I was the de facto DC.

Regarding the game against Briarcrest, we were outmanned. They played a good number of players and were vanilla in the first half and we were only down 13-8 at the break and 23-14 after 3. They got a couple of TDs on us early in the 4th and probably could have got 1 more but they kneeled 4x inside the 2.

I was interim HC for 2 games that season (had 2-0 record, although 1 was a forfeit when the other team had some of their players investigated for a shooting.)

The volunteer coach thing was at several HS in Memphis during that time due to school budget cuts. Manassas had a documentary made about their program.

 

[ru4real-really?]

How many times did they beat Bama?

 

[PEPPERJAX]

Freeze would be a good hire. Proven in the SEC, can recruit, and has an innovative offense mind. He had success at Ole Miss so it is logical to assume he would do even better at a school like UT with more history & resources. The big question is will Fulmer axe JP? If UT does not hire HF after this year, he will not be available next season. A good job will come open and Freeze will bolt from Liberty in a heartbeat.

 

[Elhanan]

He’s a good recruiter, does more with less, and has proven he knows how to win against the best teams in the SEC.
