I just don't understand. I'm seeing it talked about on multiple sites by mods and members.... obviously the rumor is Freeze.

My question: Why?

We already hired a friend of Gus, Chip Lindsey. We have seen that he has not given Chip 100% control, or even close to that.

Why in the world, with all the bitching about money, would we fire a guy, pay him, then hire a new guy with a new contract and new buyout

Additionally, we are bringing someone in that will have to call plays and schemes that are approved by Gus.

I just don't understand.

Make Kodi Burns the OC, Gus will run the offense anyway.

Chip is no Freeze. If Malzahn cannot see that his arse is on the line but has an amazing opportunity to let an elite playcaller in Freeze rescue his career, then that’s a firable offense on it’s own.

Fire the OC and don't hire a new OC being Gus is running the offense anyway and put the money saved towards Gus' buyout.

Not to mention that the guy has accumulated a laundry list of serious NCAA violations and loves hookers, but hey, lets go get him!

Influx of new ideas. I would hire the next two OCs. Have one learning. It is no differemt than Saban. It is his D system. He just hires a DC to manage day to day activities.

We need somebody who can develop a Quarterback. I dont care if its a QB coach or an OC. However Gus has shown he cant do it. He needs help in this department and needs to go hire somebody.

Didn't freeze already take a job as OC in the new pro football league? Pretty sure Rick Nieuheisel hired him onto the team he is coaching.

Petrino's about to be available. Let him try to meddle in his offense.

Gus is a lame duck coach for all intents and purposes. Barring a title run next season, he's out at the end of the 2019 season. What kind of OC would want to hitch his boat to the Titanic?
