If Ole Miss fires Huge Freeze. He is the best coach they have had since Johnny Vaught, and they will not do any better than him. Firing him to try to appease the NCAA is a big mistake, ask Auburn if it helped firing Pat Dye. Hiring another coach to ride out sanctions worked well with Tuberville. They need to let him ride out any NCAA sanctions and move on afterwards. I think they would have lost him to a better program in the near future if this hadn't happened, so make this a silver lining issue.

He just screwed them out of probably 2 years worth of bowl money (about 15 mil). Plus set them back for years to come as they will lose a lot of scholarships. He had one good year there. Clearly wasn't worth it.

Disagree, better to just cut ties now. A big reason for his success was those recruiting classes. I highly doubt he will be able to get classes like that or close to after this ordeal.

It's best to start over and try to win the right way.

I agree. No one good will come near that job at the moment. Freeze is a good enough coach to keep them from becoming a total shambles. He got a pretty bad team to 7-6 his first year at Ole Miss following. Nutt's last year they went 2-10 I think.

Would they be firing him to appease the NCAA, or because he isn't good enough at covering his tracks?

IF the NCAA hits them with a 2 year post season ban, players can transfer out with no penalty.

Us having a united front in our allegations video with Freeze, AD, and chancellor shows we are going down with the ship and not throwing Freeze under the bus

The violations aren't what piss me off necessarily. It's that they lied to boosters and alumni. That pissed me off more than anything else in the whole situation.
