Did Ole Miss hire McGriff to land Avery or was Avery a non-factor?

And what if Avery keeps his commitment to UL? Freeze is a idiot.

I hope they did because they're going to be disappointed.

Well McGriff couldn't land him at Auburn so why would he be able to land him at Ole Miss, a shittier school going on probation?

Plus, it's not like they have options. Contrary to what you read on the Spirit/247/NAFOOM sites, they don't have people lining up to coach at that disaster area. McGriff was about the best that they could hope for. I mean, think about this....Hugh Freeze is walking the halls today, looking around at what has become of his football program, lamenting his 50th-ranked recruiting class, and still has to think to himself, "today is the best it's going to be around here for the next several years." The snowball is rolling downhill, and fast.

Any decent candidates that they talked to only used them to get better deals for themselves elsewhere.

Avery was going out of state
