I remember when Kiffin had been at Ole Miss for maybe a year or two, and Freeze had just landed at Auburn. We were all speculating whether or not the Kiffin portal strategy would work better or the Freeze relationship-based high school strategy. Guess we found out which one.

Sounds like Chris Murray is trying to get another year as well

To be fair we will never know how it would have worked with coaching

Hit the nail on the head.

Freeze, for all his detriments, can get a kid to sign with the program like few others. He cannot, however, coach them when they get here.

I know what Walker’s was, but what is Murray’s argument for an extra year?

You can over pay to get any recruit to sign. It isnt a magical skill. Freeze is incompetent and is not qualified to be in that position. He is a relic from an era that rewarded nepotism and good Ole boy behavior. NIL/rev sharing is introducing job performance metrics that everyone else deals with to the coaching profession, and the old guard doesn't like it.

Am I mistaken or did he troll bama a little bit in his response to the bediako question? “How’d that work out for them last weekend?”

I get the feeling that Fields didn't increase his NIL like he hoped to.
