What I am hearing, money folks are upset and likely he will retire with a cancer excuse. He has lost support from administration who also questions if he can get it done. He looks terrible and has aged a lot. If he goes 3-4 (loses to UGA, Mizzou) he is likely gone. Needs to get to 8 wins.
If you remember he was diagnosed in February and was a treatable version of prostate cancer. It makes no sense why he did not get immediate treatment and instead relied on home remedies. "My wife's got me taking all kinds of natural things that supposedly may cure prostate cancer," Freeze said. "We hope it does. We'll recheck it in January and see where things are.
I am not a doctor, but you better get treatment fast for prostate cancer.

No clue if this is true, but he looks terrible on the sideline and in interviews.

He doesn't look right but i see the product he put on the field and I dont look right while seeing it either

Reasonable to let things play out the next 3 weeks.
Even if he wins both and continues, he will get smoked against UA and be forced out.
All cancer talk needs to be with the context that, for an SEC head coach, he played an excessive amount of golf in June (at least June).

Hugh relying on home remedies to treat his cancer lines up perfectly with his MO of being a moron.

He certainly seems like someone who is distracted.
The fire is probably gone.
He recruited lights out when he got here, and he's not even doing that now. Am I wrong?

Because he's not winning and the product looks terrible, so he can't just pitch hope and rainbows to recruits like he could in year 1 and 2. This has always been the case. It is extremely easy to recruit in years 1 and 2 for any new coach, because you get to pitch a product without having to show it. Now that we are in year 3 and 5-star guys like Coleman aren't excelling, why would any current 5-star HS recruit buy the same nonsense?

He really needs to take care of himself. This bye week would be a good opportunity for him to gracefully step down and hand over the reigns of the program. It's for his health.
You could really spin that and everyone comes out looking better.

I agree, but there needs to be at least some consequences for the crap fest the O, especially the OL, has been this season.

Best guess is that like many, many prostate cancer patients it's progressing very slowly and being monitored and there is minimal concern (relatively) that any delay in getting surgery/other treatment will have detrimental effect.
So I'm guessing his wife is just giving him Facebook homeopathic stuff while they wait, not as any real alternative to actual medicine.
But the more relevant part of this is that I don't think Hugh's in any real treatment, so his appearance/demeanor seems unlikely to be attributable to the cancer. I've heard people whisper about that - not anything nefarious mind you. I suppose it could be as simple as him having lost any real passion for the work in this era.

Yeah, I have a buddy that had a mass discovered in his prostate about a year and half ago, he was massively freaked out and thinking he would need to get treatments and have it removed at first. But they monitored it for six months and it just basically stayed the same size, so he's just getting regular scans and monitoring barring some kind of change.
So that scenario is entirely plausible for Freeze as well.

Uga owned him but he managed to hold his own against UA somehow despite them being on an historic stretch. Gus frustrated the hell out of us but give honor where it’s due.

Letting it go for a year or so not that big of deal, getting into multi-year wait and see can cause it to form into another type of cancer. My dads doctor told him that prostate cancer won't kill him. Yeah...he was right when it turned into bone cancer that is what got him. The wait and see went too long in his case.

Guys who play golf that much un June can’t quit cold turkey.
Golf is an addiction for some.
Hugh’s playing, but not posting scores.

Prostate cancer is usually a very slow one, but it can seriously demoralize those who are diagnosed. Hugh looks demoralized.
Best treatment I've seen, is the Cyber Knife. Laser like discrete beams of radiation that rotate all around with the axis center pivot point mapped to a 3d model of the cancer. Old friend's father had that treatment. In 5 days in a one hour session per day the cancer was destroyed with almost zero side effects.
