Freeze had the 3rd QB taken in the 2022 draft and faced the 89th ranked SOS, and managed to lose 5 games, including one to Terry Bowden and ULM. In his 3rd season at Liberty, no less.

Maybe because they were forced to hire an alum who had no business being an HC, who stumbled through three seasons facing the NCAA penalties the Beav left them saddled with.

Then they hired Kiffin and went 10-3 in year 2. Despite losing to AU and Harsin.

You can go to his relevant conference success. Nobody gives a shite about Liberty.

You said it could get much worse than 5-7. Based on what?

I can’t figure out you “we need to stick with Harsin or else we turn into Tennessee” dudes that are blind to see Harsin is already taking us there.

Yeah, let's count his relevant conference championships.

Or even his relevant conference division titles.

I won't dispute that, as it seems a likely scenario at this point.

But Tennessee didn't become Tennessee because of one bad hire. It took a series of bad hires, both at AD and HC.

Freeze - or Sanders - would be bad hires. Just like Butch and Germy were bad hires on top of Dooley. Hell, Heupel may end up being a bad hire too.

Likewise, Bama made a series of terrible hires after they ran off Mean Gene.

Is Harsin our Dooley? It's definitely a possibility, made more likely due to the failed coup this past February.

My hope is that he exceeds expectations enough this season to grab a job elsewhere, and the AU Brain Trust comes to their senses and hires Aranda away from Baylor. But neither of those scenarios seems very probably at this point.

He turned a doormat sec school into a respectable school that could make the sugar bowl and beat Bama twice in a row in short order. That is not debatable. Why are you minimizing his successes at ole miss when our current coach is 5-7 while Freeze created a third round QB out of our scraps.

It’s a gamble for a reason. Would he screw up again who knows. Would he be dumb to screw up a second chance hell yeah and he knows that. We got a former screw up in Bruce Pearl too just in case you forget.

It is worth a chance in my opinion. I was not in favor of hiring Freeze because I didn't think he was good enough. But I would have supported hiring him if I had known that Harsin was being considered.

This thread delivers. That one chick's fanny, I may not have any of my wife's lotion left.

Harsin is not gonna make it, and for whatever reason, folks at AU are handicapping him. When the clock strikes 0.00 after the Iron Bowl, we will know. We can't get out of our own way.

As much as I hate bama, they are aligned on winning. From the AD all the way down to the part-time lady scrubbing toilets, they only want to win. Pussified AU fans want a guy who can graduate players, be active in the community, be religious, and maybe win some games.

One day in my lifetime I want a guy to pull the sword out of the stone.

Even our radio guy sucks. We can't nail down the little things.

I’m gonna pretend like that’s a compliment. I’m actually of the opinion that Deion’s charisma and recruiting are more along the lines of Bruce, and Freeze is my second favorite, however it’s ridiculous to assume they are bad coaches. Especially Freeze. It’s also ridiculous to assume that one screwed once they’ll screw up again. It’s a gamble.


If y’all remember I unsuccessfully lobbied for Cristobal. And he has Miami’s recruiting rolling. The excite is bak!

Cristobal didn't want the job. Turned it down. So keep trying. We are looking at Rhett, Muschamp, or Grimes.

Two of the coaches I would want to interview are Jeff Monken and Luke Fickell.

Doesn’t matter who you want. Our options are worse than limited.

That's what people here fail to realize. We do not have our pick of the litter. Fire a HC one or two years into a stint and the pool dries up even more.

May be time to watch or rewatch Fight Club. It's all good Bro. If you don't want to bust knuckles, I have several wooden Kendo swords we can have some fun with.
