Exactly! Do we want to be doing this again in 2 years?

We fired the coach a month ago. How could we put all our eggs in the Kiffin basket knowing he was a bit of an eccentric guy? We should have 3 options that we had ready to say yes if it fell through. Apparently, the optics are we had to float Freeze to take the temp of the room, pun intended, and after that we basically are holding our dick.

If this is true this will apply to all candidates and we are absolutely positively fricked. Cohen won’t last here and neither will his Google hire.
Cohen might as well draw a name out of a hat. If he goes that route. No way should he be listening to just part of the fanbase because they are harassing him and ignore the rest.

Thing is, the search has been going on for a long time already. I'm sure they've identified their top targets and are going down the list.

Cohen looks like an idiot and we’re not even two months into his tenure. He could still look like a genius, but it’s starting to look less and less likely.

I hate to know who his 3rd option is. They can't be worth a big deal.

I appreciate them caring what the fanbase, students, alum, donors, tuition payers think about the hire.

How we didn’t have someone locked up last night and a piece of paper in front of them to sign as the iron bowl went 00:00 is beyond me.

It’s been a month. We’ve had all the time in the world for interviews and due diligence. Been rebuffed by one candidate via dog twitter and now 20 other people have seemingly poisoned the well on choice number 2.

People better start emailing him saying Jeff Grimes and Elko aren't the answer either

Why is Cohen making almost 1.5 million and he doesn’t have the balls to make a hire without leaking it before to gauge interest of fans. They gonna take a poll on orange jerseys next?

Then they may as well vote the candidates in and hire the highest one on the list that accepts the job. It's his job to hire the best coach in his eyes because thats what he's hired to do. He gets blamed and credited for the hires.

Are you talking about like the Duke lacrosse team. They kept their mouths shut. Thankfully the truth came out for them.
Nope. They screamed innocence to anyone who would listen. Their team got shut down, their coach lost his job, all before anything other than allegations came out. The accused had their names blasted out by the media.

quote:

I have no clue what went on at Liberty but if Freeze didn’t do it himself why does it matter. Freeze makes poor choices if he’s hired I hope Rich sits him down to have a man to man talk with him.


The only thing Freeze is guilty of at Liberty is sending a message to someone who was publicly attacking his boss and friend. He didn't threaten her or curse at her. Simply pointed out that she didn't even know him, and stated his opinion of him. Hell the AD she was publicy attacking had absolutly nothing to do with the allegations she was making. He was the AD, not somebody in charge of investigating an alleged crime committed off campus by a person who was not a Liberty athlete.

The people making a big deal out of this either just don't want Freeze as our coach and are looking for any excuse, or they are mentally deranged.

Hugh Freeze would sell my 17 year old daughter for a 5* recruit.

He's used to small school hiring.

He should have had a list of at least 5 by now with at least 2 or 3 ready to go with what they wanted by today handed the highest one up the list still in it the job.
