I think he handled the whole thing very poorly. He lost a lot of stock with the OM fans and burned bridges with yet another SEC team. I don't think he will ever reach his potential because at his age, if you haven't grown up by then you likely never will.

I am hoping Cohen pulls a rabbit out of his hat and hires Bob Stoops

But I just have a feeling the crap about him releasing freeze's name to see the reaction (if true) sounds like an excuse to blame the fans when we end up with a nobody hire.

Frank, y u do dis?

It’s amazing these people are as far as they are in their careers with how incompetent they are. We’ve not had a head coach since Halloween and ole miss beat you out for your supposed number 1 guy and now we’re restarting this whole thing?
To top that outside of Kiffin and Freeze there is no clear number 3. So if he's using the fans to judge he will never make enough happy after Freeze to matter. You can just look in this thread since Kiffin was out and see how many different people want different coaches and no one agrees on any. He would have to hire someone like Stoops or Urban (I don't see either) to unite 90% right off.

It seems that would have been an issue two weeks ago.

No he does not. He is not involved and none of his players are. Do a little homework before posting bullshite. The only thing that involves him is a message he sent to an accuser. BTW, the girl claims rape but no one has been arrested or charged. Everything about this case is outside of Freeze's role and duties.

EDIT: Bruce had a BBQ. Freeze is a slime ball.

Bruce had issues at Iowa as an assistant, which led to him being blackballed from coaching at the D-1 level for over 10 years. When he got to Tennessee, yes he had a BBQ, but that wasn't the big deal that got him in hot water. It was telling the recruits to lie to the NCAA investigators. He got a show cause for that. We hired him after it was over. Shortly after taking the job, his top assistant was implicated in a bribery scandal. We didn't play the guys involved, Bruce ended up being suspended from coaching for a few games, and Persons plead guilty. I'm a huge Pearl fan, but don't act like his entire career hasn't been filled with controversy. Freeze did not receive a show cause. Also, the shite Freeze got fired for, started under Nutt.

I am not sure if a unity candidate exists.

Is this what "alignment" is like?

I will say LSU pulled a pretty amazing rabbit out of the hat with their search. Did anyone see that coming?

I do not want Freeze, but would do my best to be a supporter of the program if he was the coach. But I would also constantly be worried about the next time his poor judgement blew back on the university.

Auburn and ole miss got sextoned. It seems like he’s a bad faith negotiator. Gets his first sucker (this time auburn) to agree to terms and then takes those terms to the next sucker (ole miss) and has them sweeten the pot even more. Then tries to re-sweeten and the first sucker (auburn) thankfully walked away. Or lane did. Whatever the story may be we’ll never know.

It’s a really shite and behind the back shite hole way to do business but I suppose that’s why he’s the best at what he does for his clients.

I don't know if you have a map or a globe, but time and distance is kinda a problem.

Also Goose the DM was sent after the case was settled so all this witness tampering is horse shite. Reading is hard for some.

I'll pull for whoever until they start dragging us down and need fired to fix (aka Harsin style). I don't worry about Freeze because I think Auburn has a better atmosphere. Some places have bad environments for stuff to happen. Plus he has been at Liberty without issue and could have learnt his lesson from OM. Even clean coaches make bad decisions. Mike Price tried it out of the blue at Bama before he coached a game.

Alright boys, I think I’m just about done with the whole coaching search thing. I’m beginning to think we’re fricked and will land someone absolutely not qualified for the job.

But hey, if you want to see JABA, check out our fanbase right now. Trying to prevent the hire of Hugh Freeze just like Tennessee did with Greg Schiano, then ending up with Jeremy Pruitt.

Freeze fricked up with the messag. Just say it.

All you wrote before is complete bullshite based on your very last sentence.

The chick was attacking Ian McCaw on social media. McCaw is the AD. Why? Did he do something to her? Nope, because he was the AD at Baylor during the Art Briles shite. Freeze's exact message to her was "You don't even know Ian McCaw. He is the most Jesus like leader I have". Oh shite! Skip hiring Freeze! Let's just take him out back and shoot him!! The horror!

You are no better than the pussy-hat wearing jackasses that marched on DC. Take the most minor, insignificant thing and use it to say a guy is unhirable. Just dumbass reasoning.

Thats my whole worry. If Cohen is on FB adn Twitter trying to decide on a coach we are screwed.

I’ve been skeptical of the fit but Kelly seems to manage it fine. He did lose to A&M tonight strangely though.

Secondly, I like their model, but easier in theory than practicality. They force- hired a homerun hire by opening up the checking book. It worked for them but there only so many great home run hires out there. It could’ve easily blown up in a bigger way (Jimbo) but it’s still just about the safest way to secure a decent coach. We have to be prepared to pay up, but I understand why Kiffin made our PTB skiddish to a fat contract after limping to season end. We still have Fickle….we could follow that model and get Fickle. He is the real deal.
