Through six games this season Ole Miss has been more competitive than the last 24 games during Nutt's tenure. Last Saturday he made a young coaches mistake in not being under center when going for it on 4th. Other than that I would be willing to say his offensive play calling has been damn near flawless.

He's no Ed O, but he'll probably work out.

Not great imo.

Good, but I reserve great for hires like Saban and Meyer.

I would say it sure looks that way so far. You guys are greatly improved and seem to be heading in the right direction.

Good hire as long as he doesn't make a bunch of dumbass calls like he did sat.

he has certainly made ole miss a much,much more solid team than they have been in several years..and that is huge considering what has come out of oxford recently.

He has Ole Miss playing decent ball. Texas aside, there hasn't been the traditional herp derping of recent years going on out on the field. The Rebels have simply lost to teams that are clearly better than them.

Freeze is a good one. It'll be interesting to see how well he can recruit.

OM needed a guy like Freeze...Young, firey and a pretty good recruiter.

Not a big fan of the style, but winning games is more important

He cost you guys the game, but at least he was trying

As long as he doesn't consistently make dumbass calls and get conservative on leads......like Ed O, then he will do just fine.

i honestly think that game vs Ole Miss in athens has trap written all over it and i could see Freezus out coaching the richtard easily. seriously though. i've gotten a lot of my friends pissed at me saying that lately but honestly i could just plain see it happening.

To early to tell. It all depends on how he recruits the thug POS players.

Best hire that you could have made. If he pans out, and I think he is heading in the right direction, he isnt leaving for a better job. This one fell in your lap. This is the kind of team that kids want to play for. I think Mullen has done a good job but the players in state will go to Ole Miss instead of Miss State. There is no comparison between Oxford and Starkville. They could easily do what Arkansas did under Petrino.

I think it was a great hire. Ole Miss has looked so much better this year compared to last that it's really not even fair to compare the two. It also puts into perspective just how bad Nutt really was

I think he was a hell of a hire for your school. Once he has his system in place with actual recruits he went after I think they will be back on track.

**As much as it pains me to say that.**

I liked the hire after seeing his first press conference. I have been impressed with Ole Miss so far. I don't know how successful he will be, with Alabama and LSU in the division. But there will be a lot of competition for third in the division.
