To be fair, that's a pretty small club compared to the thousands of football coaches in FBS college football:


I was just answering a question. If you include assistants that have rings then that list is much bigger and not very exclusive.

Will Muschamp has more rings than him as an assistant. And we know how he's been as a HC.

Maybe Ole Miss should’ve let him go to barners instead of letting Freeze get the job. Freeze will succeed at barn.


What's the big difference between what Freeze and Kiffin have done at Ole Miss? Both have had similar highs and similar lows. I don't think Kiffin is a fantastic coach, but he's solid. They are both coaching at a place that hasn't really competed for natties since Vietnam and plays traditional powers every season. It's going to be tough for all but the elite of the elite to compete for championships at Ole Miss.

All talk
I do think the expanded playoffs will give him a shot to at least make the playoffs

Kiffin can put “But at least I beat A&M” on his headstone. I approve of him wanting to be remembered for that. Won’t be the last coach either, certainly not the first.

A good comparison I have for Kiffin is Kiffin vs Sark. Both elite OC’s and offensive minds, average HC’s. I would pick Kiffin tho bc he’s had one 10 win season in his career thus far.

They’re both great play callers & can recruit the skill positions well. Neither are championship coaches because they don’t recruit or develop the trenches very well. As a Texas fan, I know what that deficiency looks like.

10-2 regular season, 2nd year, Sugar Bowl appearance, team lead all Power 5 schools in rushing last year, considered by many as one of the 5 best offensive minds in college football. Freeze probably will succeed at Auburn but at what costs?

Kiffin has had 4 10 win seasons as a HC. 1 at USC, 2 at FAU, 1 at Ole Miss. FAU and Ole Miss were both disasters that he inherited and of course USC had the big sanctions from the Reggie Bush case but he still managed to have at least one good year.

Winning 10 games in year 1 of FAU after 3 straight 3-9 seasons and year 2 after the Luke era was really impressive.

I was all about bringing him on board initially, but boy am I glad we didn't.
His trolling is cool until the wheels fall off of his team. Then its just frickin annoying.
He will obviously always be distracted by his next shiny opportunity. It happened at OM, it happened at UT, it happened at USC.


Same here. I was excited about hiring him until all that bullshite went down around the Egg Bowl.

I think we got the right guy in the end...

A shite ton of NIL $.

There are no other costs associated with the way Freeze does 'business' anymore

Freeze had some good defenses at Ole Miss early on. We led the nation in scoring defense in 2014, for instance. But in 2016, our defense was comically bad (and we continued that tradition into the Luke and Kiffin regimes).

I mean if you exclude freeze going 5-7 his last year, getting caught engaging with hookers and leaving the school in ncaa hell then sure I guess we could say similar lows.
