It is rare for a team to considerably improve or regress in one year. Well, it's rare for teams not named Ole Miss. The Rebels do it every damn year.
truest statement ever?

In 2013, Ole Miss will still be a work in progress. We should keep that in mind.
quote:
Ole Miss will still be ridiculously young this fall -- hell, with all of the star freshmen entering the rotation, the Rebels will actually be younger than they were last year -- and that's not typically a prompt for great success. But while we hope our school's new coach will engineer stunning progress on the field, in recruiting and in the optimism department, it doesn't actually happen.
At least, it usually doesn't. It has in Oxford.
quote:
Since 2006, 842 FBS teams have taken the field. Only 107 of them (13 percent) have either improved or regressed by 40 spots in the F/+ rankings in a single season. Ole Miss, meanwhile, has done so four times in five years. That's absurd. The Rebels rose from 77th to 10th in 2008, fell from 19th to 60th in 2010, fell from 60th to 100th in 2011, and rose from 100th to 40th in 2012. It's a little bit of a surprise if that happens to you once in seven years. Ole Miss yawns at "surprising."
After seeing this as much as I want wins I want STABILITY more.

Typically when a team improves so dramatically in one year, regression toward the mean is likely the next season. Teams also don't typically come out of nowhere to sign a top-ten class after languishing at a much lower level in the preceding years. But Ole Miss is in no way typical. We knew that before Hugh Freeze even came to town, and we definitely know it now. I'm pretty optimistic about this team, but one probably doesn't make much money betting on the Rebels, one way or another.
Truest statement ever!

Reading that article pisses me the frick off all over again about missing out on Elijah Daniel and Chris Jones.

Thought the same thing myself ... especially Jones but frick we should have had at least one of those.

with stability comes wins. Maybe not 10+ every year but certainly not 4-8 or 2-10

Ole Miss is my dark horse this season. I said it after last season that they would surprise some people in 2013. Im predicting OM to beat LSU.

Yes.
Now, please dear little baby Jesus, allow Freezus to stay long enough to bring consistency, a relevant winning tradition and some sustainable success to our fair program.
Amen.

I think you keep Freeze unless one of the "big boys" comes calling. Possible example in the near future: Georgia.
Not sure if you guys will be able to hold onto Kiffin without shelling out some major bucks.

I'll be surprised if he's here beyond the 2014 season

The only way Freeze leaves OM is retirement or if he gets fired

This is a very naive post.
Don't get me wrong, I hope LIKE HELL you're right, but it won't happen that way, bro. If he continues on his current path (we improve every year by a win or two, he continues to recruit top 10 classes, we play in ATL in the next 5 years, get a couple BCS/playoff games) he's gone for BIG money.
I'm not saying that we won't be able to generate the money to keep him here, but absent of OM coming off SERIOUS cash, he'll go where he needs to go to keep his career on track.
Basically, he's not going to sit at OM for significantly less money than he can get at another top tier program. No coach worth a shite would do that.

He said so himself that OM was his "dream job" and the place he wanted to retire. If he keeps on winning his salary will keep on going up. It's not like we are going to continue only paying him a million a year.
quote:If he does this, his salary will be near 3 million a year. I can't imagine him leaving his "dream job", especially while being paid 3 million a year.
(we improve every year by a win or two, he continues to recruit top 10 classes, we play in ATL in the next 5 years, get a couple BCS/playoff games)
