[MagicDawg]

The letter's contents are as follows:


----------------------------------------------------------
While I realize a statement from me could be met with criticism and more negative attention, I believe I owe the Ole Miss family an apology for the pain and disappointment I?ve caused them. With this being an open week for the football team, and with the NCAA hearing behind us, this seemed to be the right time for me to speak from my heart.

As you know, in July of this year Ross Bjork asked me about a concerning number discovered in my phone records. In the days that followed, I shared with him the truth about my past, ultimately resulting in my resignation. It?s a truth I?d already shared with my wife, Jill, and with two of my closest friends months earlier.

While some of the things being reported about the matter are inaccurate, or in some cases completely false, it?s much more important for me to tell you that what I did was wrong, and there?s no justification for me making the selfish decisions that I knowingly made. I know I?ve hurt many people, especially those in the Ole Miss family, and I am asking you to forgive me for what I?ve done. I miss being a part of Ole Miss but will be pulling for our team every Saturday this season. To my faith family, I ask for your forgiveness and appreciate your prayers as well.

I have experienced unbelievable grace from above, from friends, and especially from Jill. Her strength and love through this storm have been incredible. Neither she nor our girls ever asked to live their lives in the public eye, but they have handled this with grace and dignity.

Words cannot express our gratitude for the outpouring of prayers, love, and forgiveness we have received from many of you. We have some incredible memories to hold onto from our time at Ole Miss, and want to thank you for blessing us over the last 5 years. While I realize there?s no good answer for the pain I?ve caused, I hope you can forgive me.

Sincerely,

Hugh Freeze

This is the greatest gif response ever haha

[ElectroDawg]

Nothing to see here. Mistakes were made. ***

[SailingDawg]

he gay

[JoseBrown]

That is a ***** way to handle his coming out, and his apology and ask for forgiveness. Just like the piece of shit he is. I hope that doesn't get it for his family, his ole miss family or his faith family. Seeing as how he lives his life with with so many different groups of people who accept different levels of behavior I'll go ahead and label him a 17'n nutjob. Glad he's never worn the maroon and white. With all due respect.

[somebodyshotmypaw]

Where is his apology for all the NCAA rules broken by him and by people under his supervision? Where is his apology to Nutt for trying to ruin his reputation and livelihood? Where is his apology to fellow SEC coaches who had to compete on an uneven playing field?

[MagicDawg]

I think it's too little too late. Very sanitized, probably legally dissected comments. The only new informative bit is the part about telling his wife and friends months earlier. It seems calculated and suspect to me. Can't be proven but it's included to make you think "aw, he's not so bad after all."

I don't buy it. But I'm not his market.

Don't forget, his two friends, the rest of his friends went right down the ole dumper because of him. Lol.

Oh, his two friends, maybe AC Cowlings and OJ at this point. Surely not still Barney and Lee.

[phatdog]

wow.."hurt many people, especially those in the Ole Miss family". He thinks he hurt the Ole Miss family more than his wife and kids. I'm sure they appreciates that.

[notsofarawaydawg]

More ****ing lies .. when will this bastard just go away. I'm sure that big church in the Jackson area will have him back in the pulpit soon. ****ing hypocrite #loser

[BigEasyDawg]

So he told his Family and close friends two months before, yet continued to hide it from his employer? Yea that's so dang admirable there Rev. Swaggart

[Dawgology]

I think we need to start a “Hugh Freeze Great Ole Miss Memories” thread!

“Member that time all us coaches got together and went to buy a bunch of burner phones? Such great times. Sweet memories!”

[ShotgunDawg]

I don't find it the slightest bit surprising that during OM's off week during Gameday which included a tribute to Charlie Connerly, Freeze releases his statement

Doing anything right now to stay relevant.

[Jack Lambert]

Buy/Sell he as already hit some strange.

[Token Bammer]

He danced around and did the hokey pokey but literally admitted to nothing. He went out of his way to say many allegations were weren't true but didn't bother to come clean about anything. I don't know if I've ever seen a worse apology in my life. An apology means you take responsibility and have some sense of mourning over what you know, and acknowledge, you did was wrong.

He's asking forgiveness while never revealing what he's asking forgiveness for.

[Kyper]

Very typical Hugh Freeze

[Boodawg]

So he told his Family and close friends two months before, yet continued to hide it from his employer? Yea that's so dang admirable their Rev. Swaggart

Not family. Just his wife and 2 friends. What about the girls.

[Saltydog]

NT

[Boodawg]

NT

That's probably the part that's completely false. They were for cruits

[Boodawg]

And OM plays on Thursday this year. Will he root for them on Thur too?

[Mimi's Babies]

I cannot believe that he even attempted to ask for forgiveness...

1st -- Admit what was done.... ie.... I purchased sex for the night.... (It was for me or it wasn't for me)

2nd -- Ask forgiveness from GOD... (1st) Wife and daughters (2nd) Extended family (3rd) the Team (4th) the om idiots (5th) and the university (6th)

3rd -- To ask for forgiveness from the Church -- jeez this is done in front of the Church...

4th -- No mention of him seeing this as a problem and that he is seeking counseling....

5th -- He did not apologize to the prostitute nor the 'said' girlfriend

6th -- Nothing to the school in Memphis

7th-- Not much of an apology for sure.

Read that statement how ever you want... Having been in Jill's shoes... she should put him in the road...

[WSOPdawg]

Very typical Hugh Freeze

No -- very typical TCUN!

Here we have Freeze further "taking one for the team" -- every time the viewing public is directed one way, doesn't it always seem to come back around an attempt to spin in favor of TCUN but seemingly leads to more violations ( i.e., benefits for recruits and players)?

Example: Nothing to see here, it was a 1-time loaner vehicle to Tunsil and he'll sit out a game but it turned into loaners vehicles on 3 separate occasions and he sat out 6 or 7 games.

Example: Nothing to see here, it was a FCA meeting that recruits were taken to when it turned out it was a TCUN booster engaging in a meeting with recruits while in the presence of TCUN coaches.

Example: MOST violations were not football-related when in fact, there were 21 football violations (15 of the Level I variety).

Example: MOST football violations were under the last coaching administration when in fact MOST were under CHF and his cronies.

Believe nothing you see in this letter as this may very well be a pre-emptive strike against ohhhhh, I don't know -- maybe "ho's for 'croots???"

[1bigdawg]

When you truly apologize you admit that for which you are apologizing. He basically just said, sorry, forgive me for all my sins without admitting to any sins.

Of course, UNM people love him and know he only made "mistakes."

[Acid mouth]

Buy/Sell he as already hit some strange.
Buy in bulk. He's set for life, doesn't have anyone to hold him accountable (now that he's unemployed), and remains a predatory beaver. I'm also buying that there is more to come concerning his infidelities while employed as Mississippi's Head Pimp.

[Apoplectic]

Step 1 in the return to coaching. check complete

[TrapGame]

**** that shitbird!

[Acid mouth]

When you truly apologize you admit that for which you are apologizing. He basically just said, sorry, forgive me for all my sins without admitting to any sins.

Of course, UNM people love him and know he only made "mistakes."

Just like MagicDawg said, this was a legally dissected comment. He's only gonna ask forgiveness for the indiscretions that are public. He will be battling legal issues (potentially criminal charges) for years to come. I expect him to ask for forgiveness no less than 2 more times. Hugh Freeze sucks in life.

[beretta]

THIS.....This is what I'm wondering....what about his girlfriend and the marriage he ruined?



NT

[gravedigger]

Said he?d told the wife and friends a good bit before.

Now didn?t someone mention a wrong number?

[Maroonthirteen]

Not buying that he was fired for calling escorts. He was fired for driving their program to the gates of NCAA purgatory. The calls were just a convenient excuse.

[msbulldog]

I bet his wife is fixing to clean out his bank account.

[msbulldog]

I cannot believe that he even attempted to ask for forgiveness...

1st -- Admit what was done.... ie.... I purchased sex for the night.... (It was for me or it wasn't for me)

2nd -- Ask forgiveness from GOD... (1st) Wife and daughters (2nd) Extended family (3rd) the Team (4th) the om idiots (5th) and the university (6th)

Mimi sweetie you missed the most important part, plead for mercy from God Almighty!

[Bully13]

I know it's already been mentioned here but common sense says they were for croots, not him. Common sense says his departure was damage control cuz his ass shoulda been fired long ago. Hugh rolling in to the COI wouldna been a good look for ole miss.

[Mimi's Babies]

Gravedigger -- that so called apology was one of the worst I have ever seen. Your mom would have thrown us under the bus for that written piece of crap... He apologized for nothing....

[Perpetual Underachiever]

Cue the campaign to rehire Freeze. I'd be willing to bet that > 50% of Bear fans would support rehiring the horn-dog today. #Blessed

[gravedigger]

Gravedigger -- that so called apology was one of the worst I have ever seen. Your mom would have thrown us under the bus for that written piece of crap... He apologized for nothing....

Agreed.

[Todd4State]

One person I noticed that he didn't apologize to was Houston Nutt.

[Todd4State]

Not buying that he was fired for calling escorts. He was fired for driving their program to the gates of NCAA purgatory. The calls were just a convenient excuse.

Well eventually that was going to happen but the Freeze escort scandal sped things up.

[Commercecomet24]

Most generic apology I've ever heard. He apologized for nothing. Same ole hugh

[TUSK]

He shoulda just tweeted this:

"If you have facts about me bangin' strange, send it to MyLordAndSavior@gawd.hvn. If not, please do not slander me or insult my hos."

[Turfdawg67]

He shoulda just tweeted this:

"If you have facts about me bangin' strange, send it to MyLordAndSavior@gawd.hvn. If not, please do not slander me or insult my hos."

LOL! +1

[Lord McBuckethead]

I would have already if I was her. Get it in cash and put it in a safe deposit box in a international bank.

[Bully13]

He shoulda just tweeted this:

"If you have facts about me bangin' strange, send it to MyLordAndSavior@gawd.hvn. If not, please do not slander me or insult my hos."

Bump cuz that's awesome

A perfect gif if there ever was one !!

[Reason2succeed]

When you are misleading everyone on everything you don't get to ask for clarity on one thing.

No YOU are the liar. If the story is wrong it's because you were a liar and a deceiver.
