Hugh Freeze misdials phone, resigns
Christmas come early. The Very Reverend Hugh Freeze resigns from Ole Miss this pm. A cheater & a transparent sleaze. Not a bad coach.

Helps to clear up some of the confusion about how Freeze was able to convince so many talented football players who might be rubbed the wrong way by Oxford, MS to spend 3-4 years of their life there.

Re: 2017-18 Coaching Carousel Thread
Freeze was a serial cheater. He provoked the other SEC schools into forgetting Roy Kramer's anti-snitching command. The fact that he was a serial cheater in his family life is gravy. He had the nerve to claim he was persecuted for his faith. When isn't that a loud warning horn about a college coach?

Ole Mess in a heap of trouble.
For the most part, I think Tulane has always found coaches that seem to be of high moral character. Ed Conroy's biggest fault was not buying enough ice cream.

Re: 2017-18 Coaching Carousel Thread
I humbly think yall are wrong about Freeze. If you look beyond the surface you will see that the NCAA scuttled that ship. They were on the attack until to they found somehting. Ole Miss is not a blue blood. Is it a coincidence that this happens at a point when they have been challanging the blue bloods. I would be willing to bet that if the NCAA scrutinized every program like they did Ole Miss at least half would look as bad as they did. Where was this dedicaton when Auburn rented Cam Newton for a year? I don't wish the NCAA secret police on anyone (except possibly LSU).

Not a which hunt when one of your players (or his step dad) admits to being paid. Everyone knew from that first recruiting class that things weren't right in Oxford. The best part of this so far is that the person the University and Freeze were trying to blame for all the bad things they had done, is the one that got Freeze canned. Be careful who you try to blame, they just might know more than you think.

I don't think this a is a Ludlum novel or a conspiracy. Let me restate. The NCAA has compliance departments with incentives to collect "scalps." Though Ole Miss is an SEC school they are still insignificant as far as tv market and political clout. The consensus of most football people outside Mississippi hold the position that Ole miss isn't capable of being a top dog because that is the way it has always been. When Ole Miss got the prized recruiting class that was so much better than any of their previous ones most in college football assumed, without a shred of evidence, that they were cheating. It wasn't a conspiracy, it was the majority of an industry assuming the worst. Ask yourself, if Tulane landed a 5-Star and five or more 4-Stars in a recruiting class a year from now what would everyone else think. Well what happened at Ole Miss is the NCAA investigators, incentivized to get scalps at part of their job, saw a suspect that everyone thought was guilty already. They then proceeded to camp in oxford for 4-5 years with a mission knowing the media and industry was likely on their side. To me what made this unique from other investigations is that the NCAA offered a active Auburn player immunity and anonymity if he would provide oral testimony against Ole Miss. This obvious conflict of interest and how the NCAA ignored it is telling.long green wrote: A cheater & a transparent sleaze.
On Freeze...what brought him down in the end was not the NCAA rules. It was problem that significant amount of career driven people have...poor relationship skills and lack of self control in that area. I would call that a vice. It took a lot of digging to find this. It certainly wasn't a know problem.

Gotcha, Poseidon.
Maybe it's the entire SEC that is a Ludlum novel!
I look forward to the time when Tulane 4 and 5 star recruits cause similar head turning.

Re: 2017-18 Coaching Carousel Thread
Do you have some personal connection to the outgoing staff or to Ole Miss in general? It would explain a lot. The NCAA is totally at fault. No, Hugh Freeze was brought down by "poor relationship skills and lack of self-control" in his personal and professional life (which is somehow not a vice). You really want to give it to the NCAA but you also want to exempt the SEC schools who are almost solely responsible for the presence of the NCAA in Oxford. Mark Richt cried foul over the recruiting of Laremy Tunsil. And Mississippi State has an active player who is said to be ratting Ole Miss out. I don't know of any Auburn player doing this but if there is one even you have to notice that Ole Miss is being jumped by a diverse collection of SEC blue bloods and blue collars. Who brought Hugh Freeze down, outside of himself? The SEC, the SEC, the SEC. It's fun to watch.Poseidon wrote:Ok so I the yall I am referring to are the may be Long Green.TUPF wrote:There may be truth here but I'm not a big believer in conspiracies.

Re: 2017-18 Coaching Carousel Thread
LG, I have no connection to the outgoing staff. I know some people who follow the program pretty closely. As close or closer than we follow Tulane. I have been given the play-by-play over the last few years of what is going on up there. I guess I have just see more of both sides and not just rely on media that counts clicks. I'm not sure how you construed my stating " I would call that a vice" to think I meant it wasn't a vice. I was talking about Freeze, I was simply stating that he shared a vice that a surprising amount of driven successful, powerful, workaholics have. I agree with you on the SEC bringing him down as well. That is the sad part. Not for Freeze, but for the players and people there who weren't trying to bend the rules like Twizzler candy.long green wrote:Do you have some personal connection to the outgoing staff or to Ole Miss in general?
