Freeze will be lucky he only gets a 10 year show cause. But that will be enough for him to never coach in college again. My guess, Ole Miss is most likely going to get hammered big time, and Feeeze may be banned from ever seeking employment in the NCAA ever again.

From what Ive read on some sites that the Nutt FOI on Freeze's phones are just the tip of the ice burg that's about to sink Ole Miss.

To some extent, I get the feeling it as much too do with being a Jesus fan as it is being Hugh Freeze.

It's nothing "new" for A-State. An up-and-coming young offensive minded coach that is on the way up, not on the way down as a retread. That is not a "new" hiring philosophy for A-State. Hugh Freeze once fit that criteria....he no longer does. Does that clear it up?

As for the other.....there is no "sticking point for A-State fans" because you may have noticed that only the first paragraph was about A-State hiring....the following paragraphs were solely about Ole Miss hiring and what THEY should look for.

The reason why OLE MISS (not Arkansas State) should not go for a "Jesus guy" is obvious.....because THEY (not us) just fired a hypocritical one and THEY (not us) should not look for another to follow him in order to avoid people making unwanted associations between THEIR (not our) old coach and THEIR (not our) new coach....for OLE MISS. Hope that covers it.

Also...the reason why OLE MISS (not Arkansas State) should not go for a "rah-rah" type coach is because the last disaster of a head coach before this one was the biggest rah-rah coach of all time...Houston Nutt. They (being Ole Miss) should not want their new coach to remind fans of that association either.

Therefore. A person like Scott Satterfield.....who seems to have a moral character but does not say Jesus every other word...and maintains an even keel without going Hootie......would seem to fit the bill. IMO.

So, there is no new criteria for hiring a coach? Really not interested in what Ole Miss does or doesn't do. The question many have discussed is would Hugh be brought back if we had an opening. Possible cheating aside, he has proven himself to be a very good coach.

Your guess is as good as mine at this point.

I wouldn't be shocked if ole Willie Fritz got a run at Ole Miss. I'd bet his agent has been on the phone.

Yea, they only won 4 games last year at Tulane, but it was an improvement over the previous year and his first season there.

He is a proven winner and good at turning programs around.
Since I don't think anyone is going to light up the world from Tulane, except for collecting his check - there isn't a lot he is likely to do there except improve their record each year, which he probably will.

He is sort of perfect for this imop. If Ole Miss gets a post season ban - so what? He isn't likely to see the post season at Tulane this year anyway.
Would give him a couple of seasons to get his system in place without a lot of pressure. If they cut him loose after a couple of years, he still collects big - more than he would have made in the next several years at Tulane, so what does he have to lose? It's a solid HC hire instead of an assistant with SEC experience. He's older and wouldn't likely be involved in the type of scandals they've had lately.

I just think it's a good fit. I mean - Ole Miss is going to have a hard time attracting THE coach for the next couple of seasons. But you have that experience/record setting at Tulane with a coach who is close to ready to retire, but not so old he couldn't keep going if things went as well as they have at other places for him. I think he'd go with a 2 year contract. IF their recruiting is going to be "shytt" for the next couple of seasons anyway, a short contracted coach wont really matter. So - if he got Ole Miss through the sanctions, that'd give him his retirement $. If they decided to cut him loose then, they'd be free to go after a big name with all the restrictions gone and therefore be more attractive. Satterfield would be risking his lively hood for the next 30 plus years, Fritz wouldn't be.

I'll be real surprised if they are able to entice any P5 coach unless the NCAA comes out and publicly cuts them a break.

I'll take "Why the NCAA can't conclude its investigation of UNC for $100, Alex"...

If there is fire behind the smoke at Ole Miss, there's no way the NCAA lets and SEC team off with a slap on the wrist.
