Freeze, Nix, and Austin all calling plays on different downs, and Freeze gets the veto power, but only Nix is an offensive coordinator. Makes no damn sense.

I hope things aren’t as bad as they sound cause it’s sounding like a cluster.

We don't. We may have two people with input, but every call goes through Freeze and he is the one you will see calling in the play to the QB. Way too damn much is being made of this.

Listen, you’re being condescending but these folks have been right to be concerned every time for the last 5-6 years. You folks that always say, you should trust the coach and blah blah blah have been nothing but wrong the last 5-6 years so save your little pussy and chicken little comments.

We don’t. Planning and play calling in real time are two different things. But some fat arse, cheetoh eating drama queen of the football writer wants clicks so here we are.

If we score on first down every time, this won’t even be an issue.

This narrative is so incredibly stupid and is only latched on to by those who are football stupid.

stupid narratives carry when coaches underperform.

Remember when people were mad at Gus for visiting friends a friday night before the Arkansas game?

They won’t be.

The “Game Plan” is determined in advance.

All three men know the game plan. Percentages of what defenses may be called during situational football. Two different plays may be suggested. One person has command over what gets called. There may be three plays called, but one person has the Mike. QB doesn’t hear three.

It’s basically the same a Gus and Lashlee working together to call plays.
