Freeze didn't leave for Florida because we paid him more, plus the expectations here are lower than they are at UF. Plus who would want to live in Gainesville???

It's easier to win a title at Florida, especially right now, and the state has more talent than the entire Mid-South and state of Mississippi combined damn near every year. The Florida and Georgia jobs are almost certainly the best in the conference. McElwain is already making in excess of $4 mil., and he breached that threshold more quickly than Freeze did. Money wasn't the issue, but taking Jill and the kids to Gainesville just might've been haha

Damn how fickle some can be. Last year at this time people were worshipping at the church of freeze. One bad season, "fire Wommack", he does. Upgrades the DC with a coach that has NFL experience and can recruit. Hires LSU's best recruiter for the state of Texas with years of LB experience. "Fire Werner" he does. Brings in the FCS coordinator of the year to run the offense, then hires a local, well traveled, great recruiter in Peeler to coach WR.

Hires a DLine coach with little experience and he jumps to take a job at a more respected football program and then we get our panties in a bunch and want to fire him? LAUGHABLE!!!

Name me the last coach that had ole miss in the top 20 of recruiting 4 years in a row (top 10 twice) and took ole miss to back to back new years 6 bowls... I will sit back and wait on the answer...
