He is the last man standing, he has SEC Experience, He won big at Ole Miss...

PAMS take: I am going to try to explain this one more time. Freeze took over an Ole Miss program with 12 consecutive SEC losses that had gone 2-10 the previous season. He got them to the Sugar Bowl and another 10-win season. That's a program that hasn't won a championship in 59 years or ever played in the SEC Championship Game. Liberty was barely a program and he made it a winner. Talking about winning percentages without context is meaningless.

Lincoln Riley has at least won a division title, not to mention conference championship. What has Hugh won? Besides the thrill of bickering with young women on Twitter?

His record at Ole Miss was 39-25. This is good?


It’s actually 12-25.

27 wins were vacated.

Yep, all it took was wild amounts of cheating that landed his school on probation and him out of a job. So hilarious this continues to get glossed over by some.

Yes I know but for purpose of discussion left his record before it was vacated since those were results on the field.

I could’ve used vacated numbers but then this immediately becomes troll thread which is not my intention.

Freeze is a better Lane with a defense but even then I don’t want him because of the shitstorm that is about to come down on Auburn.

I wanted Freeze 2 years ago, he took 2 shite show programs and turned them around. Who here had heard of Liberty before Freeze got there and started wrecking shite? If he can do that at those places imagine what he’s going to do at Auburn. He’s going to send Saban into retirement and tea bag Lane annually.

Word on the streets is Freeze was spotted buying a new orange and blue tie in a store in Lynchburg for his ‘event’ tonight.

Kirby did g the same thing back in 2013. So maybe a new version of Gus swoops in here last minute

the fact that everywhere he goes he leaves them in worse shape than he arrived.


Ask Liberty or Arkansas State if they agree with this.

OM can be argued due to the paying players stuff, but that had been going on for long before Freeze arrived and it was nothing that other schools weren’t doing. Its just Freeze did it better than other OM coaches ever had and that got him caught.

I am not sure OM had ever broke the top 15 in recruiting before Freeze arrived even with Farrer’s deal in place.

Church of the Highlands folks, Will Herring, and PAM’s DUI are turning the tide for Hugh!

Who is pumped for 8 wins and constant media scrutiny every year? He’s easy to make fun of and hard to defend, but damn making mediocre bowls every year sure is nice.

Liberty is under federal investigation. With Arkansas State, he was only there a year, so he didn’t have enough time to completely ruin that program.

When has AU ever given a damn about shite storms coming down?

Like I posted earlier it seems like Harbert and Raines want Freeze, they pay most of the bills. The rumor was he was their choice last time. I bet Greene didn’t want to take the heat and went rogue hiring Harsin. I would also bet Cohen had to know this when he was hired. He is making 1.25 Million dollars. Raines probably told him to sack up and take the heat. Just my best guess.

But he made sure to insert himself into the controversy.
