re: Meanwhile, on the Auburn board

The answer to the question is yes, the investigation was taking its toll. I'm convinced it lead to poor coordinators (although Longo seems to be doing ok at UNC) and big distractions for the players and coaches. Freeze did a great overall job for us. He couldn't return for obvious reasons, but he was one of the best OM coaches since Vaught. He just got too cocky and careless and had no guidance at all from our dipshit AD. The most impressive thing Freeze did was immediately find a qb and have us competing right away, which is what AU needs. I think Ole Miss and AU got what they wanted/needed, and I actually hope both coaches succeed. Good luck Tigers.
