Sooooooooooooo fire Freeze?

I've always thought his shtick was hokey, but it worked for a time. It's not working anymore and I'm over it. We need a real FB coach that will go in on kids when they frick up and not try to be their buddy.

PJ Fleck is the future.

Idk if it is him or who he surrounds himself with, but Freeze seems like a good football coach. It sucks for ya'll that you may lose a guy who wants to be there and has some coaching talent


While you have had some excellent top end recruits (e.g Tunsil), it shouldn't be overlooked how Freeze got a ton of production from lower rated guys / Mississippi talent as well

We are at the bottom of the barrel in the SEC again with Freeze though?

Had a bad year because of injuries and lack of a good group of LBs. That is the only gripe with Freeze. I believe he fixed it with the new hires on defense. Everyone has bad years,just look at Auburn lol. They can't even come close to beating Bama anymore. We should have beat them 3 years in a row.


We should be better in the bag Man department since Mcgriff got properly trained at Auburn.

Yeah, you have to be objective here. With the current NCAA situation I don't think you can credit him with the incoming talent.

That being said, he does a good job of realizing what he has and playing to it. A lot of the times that he's been railed for taking absurd chances, they were being taken against better opponents, because he knew he had to go on a limb to win. Sometimes it's worked out, see the Bama games. Sometimes it hasn't, see going for the 4th downs and various other chances he took against State this year, granted the fake punt worked.

The biggest shortcoming has been the focus on recruiting talent rather than positions of need. A 3 star linebacker is more important than a 5 star wide receiver for you guys right now, and to this point he hasn't grabbed hold of that fact. It doesn't matter as much at Alabama when you have 4 and 5 stars everywhere, but when you aren't a top 10 school you have to pick your battles and recruit to your needs.

Well said.

We aren't being persecuted because of Christian beliefs, we are being persecuted because we have been paying players out of the wazoo the past 5 years. To compare our NCAA situation with a free of sin Christ being crucified is a major stretch of scripture

I keep hearing this, mostly from the enemy, but where's the proof? Will we ever see it? Or will we just be told it's the case without proof? Paying and paying "out of the wazoo" are two drastically different things.

Did something happen?
