I suspect any one of the other nine could end up at Ole Miss next season.
Think I'd have put Sumlin at #2.
I kind of find it funny when people tie Freeze's job security to winning games.
Freeze's current situation has nothing to do with that. Although, it would be hilarious to see them win 5 game again and OM fans realize they've been protecting a crappy coach the entire time.
They aren't coming to Oxford with the sanctions that are bout to destroy that place for years.Quote:

This is what I don't get. You go all in to save an Urban Meyer, a Nick Saban, a Dabo Swinney. Not a Hugh Freeze. They disparage Mullen, yet his and HF's record are the exact same down to a single game given the time frame since Freeze has been there. Literally, everything Freeze has done (with the exception of wins over Bama) Mullen has done. I know they're a liberal arts school and math is hard, but try a little, guys. Go run the #s. That is the most oblivious fanbase on the planet.Quote:

Freeze being #1 on this list was brought up on H2H yesterday and Matt said he didn't see that coming.
Yeah, I don't see that for anybody but maybe Marshall's head coach. And I only say that because he looks reasonably old, and he's presumably not going to land at a big program after getting bounced from Marshall, so going to a doomed situation and getting an SEC Payday (even if it's just $1M a year rather than typical SEC pay) probably wouldn't seem like a terrible gig.Quote:

Does everyone expect him to be coaching this year?
Is there a chance the COI will meet and hand down a decision prior to the season? I was thinking that even after the COI meets, it might be a few months before a written decision is handed out.Quote:

However, my gut tells me that to ensure he could maintain at least some plausible deniability, Freeze distanced himself from the details. The FCA booster issue may shoot my theory full of holes, though.
