Serious question.. was there some "Freeze's side of the story" version of the events that led to his dismissal or was it just simply as bad as it looked?

Forget about Freeze

Gus wants him but Sankey and Leath are the veto to this idea.

Kodi Burns will be OC.

Wish I had better news...

Why would anyone want him as OC? He was only OC once and he ran a bad offense. I hope someone we play frequently hires him tho because of that

there was no "side of the story". Everybody involved knew the deal and knew what would happen if things came to light. Freeze was a perfect company man and did his duty.

Or, you can believe that he just voluntarily walked away from $12 million without a whimper.

Nah not really. Once Nutt and Mars got in his arse and phone records released there wasn't much he could do.

He was fired for calling hookers.

Not really. The whole "paying players" thing was blown way out of proportion. Lewis maybe got $10k but he didn't even sign.

Tunsil maybe got a light bill paid and had use of a rental car past turn in date. He was probably flirting with agents too, but Freeze either willfully turned a blind eye to that or simply had no idea.

The ACT scam stunk to high heaven but im not sure that was Freeze's deal.

***State fans will soon follow to "correct" everything stated above.

Freeze is a dumbarse, thin-skinned, and vain but he wasn't some nefarious cheater who was greasing palms left and right. He was dirty, but not rolling in the mud.

Of course there was something else IMO. You don’t walk away from $12M. You at least negotiate that down. He likely had a lot of leverage to burn a lot of people to assure he got that $12M otherwise. There had to be something else.

Apart from fondlin youngins and marrying a former player of his at Briarcrest, his record is squeaky clean

What’s detestable about Freeze isn’t the cheating, but his total hypocrisy about claiming Christ while getting happy endings from Asian whorehouses and being addicted to adultery. Some people say the hookers weren’t for him, but even if that was true, leading people into sin is arguably worse than just doing it yourself. He’s going to bust hell wide open.

The NCAA setup shop in Oxford for what? Half a decade? In the end, they concluded he didn't control boosters, but found absolutely no wrong doing (regarding NCAA violations) by Freeze himself.

If we had a competent AD, he would have forced Freeze to fire Farrar right away, and most of this would have went away.

Having said that, Freeze's undoing was calling escort services while he was out of town.

The shite about Briarcrest is really distasteful rumors with absolutely no proof that folks are piling on him. But, when someone is as hypocritical as he is (preaching constantly, only to be caught banging escorts), then folks are going to sling even more mud and run with any BS story they come across.

I personally think he may never be let back in the SEC or else we will find out the nitty gritty details of what was actually happening with the hookers. The story was already out there why else would he walk away from $12m.

Freeze took the fall for the university and was paid handsomely for it. That why they don’t have shite now to spend on a real coaching staff. OM didn’t want the ncaa to find out who all those whores were really for.
