Well, I think y'all can forget about Farrar singing on Freeze.....
"In his time on Coach Freeze’s staff, Coach Freeze never asked
Farrar to break any NCAA rule but always reinforced how important it was that he follow the
rules and maintain the highest standards of conduct. Farrar expresses his hope that this panel will
give Ole Miss and Hugh Freeze every opportunity and consideration in these proceedings. It is
deserved."
Even after being thrown under the bus, he is still trying to protect Freeze. Strange.
Farrar will be a lackey and a flunky to the bitter end. He knows his place.
Like it matters what Barney wants. Freeze is getting his show cause. A ucla assistant got a show cause over a level 2. Big names like tressel, chip Kelly, and Pete Carroll got show causes under old penalty structure... no way in hell does freeze skate
Well if there's anyone we can trust, it's the guy who lied to NCAA investigators over and over and over and over and over in December 2016. Besides the fact that the head coach is responsible for his assistants' actions, Freeze is getting letters of recommendations from people who have a laundry list of allegations in the NOAs their self. That's like going to a prison and picking out the criminals to testify for you as a character witness in a trial.
It doesn't take one long to understand how Barney intends to vindicate himself...Jeez...
"Redacted is the only witness that provided any purported evidence against Coach Farrar.
Redacted is a young man that now plays football for Ole Miss’s rival, redacted .
Redacted likely lured into this witch-hunt by his own head coach so he could escape NCAA charges
himself, deflect his misdeeds onto Farrar and Ole Miss, and keep his eligibility to play for redacted.
A young man who, undeservedly, was given immunity as the NCAA enforcement staff
deliberately turned away from his own admitted violations so that it could pursue the school and
the recruiter it really wanted – Ole Miss and Barney Farrar."
The whole defense of "Mullen did it" is insane, untruthful, and is going to get them slammed. It's hilarious and pathetic at the same time.
Dan Mullen is on the NCAA Oversight Committee. He was added because he's well respected in coaching circles and within the SEC & NCAA. Hugh Freeze is not respected in any of those circles and the defense that a well-respected guy on the oversight committee orchestrated this whole thing shows how screwed they truly are.
Well i think you might be looking at it. Barney held the company line in this response which was submitted on May 23.
Since he was no longer working at UM or with their lawyers, I would there is a strong chance he didn't see UM's response until it came out a couple days ago..
Thus why he felt so mad that he got betrayed as the single problem and all blame on him.
Who knows what he is going to do now... but we now see what he was willing to do.. Sing the company song and go along...
Will that change now? Welll... they ebtter hope they can back the $$$ truck up and quiet him down.
Beardo, I was about to post the same excerpt. Can't believe Farrar is still standing with OM even after they left him out to dry.
Still a clear case of LOIC. All of this happened under Freeze's watch, he had NO IDEA it was happening, and he waited until LAST YEAR to fire Barney?!?! Yep, that's LOIC
The more and more "evidence" they present like this, literally, the stronger case they make for LOIC. If what Barney says is true, Freeze had ZERO control over what his assistants were doing (don't forget the guys named in the first NOA)... that's the definition of Lack of Institutional Control!
Farrar was paid by OM to fall on the sword, and him lawyering up was part of the game. That's it in a nutshell.
Told y'all he did t roll on anyone. None of this matters, tho. What's done is done. The NCAA has what it wants. Nothing by Barney matters now.
This was released by barn and his attny well before he saw the response of OM to the noa.
I'll read it this weekend, but note that this was dated well before OMs response this week. There's a good chance their reapsonse and throwing him under the bus conflicts with what is stated in this letter. Like the case considering his atty's release this week.
It was drafted well before the NOA release. Lol. I still don't think Barn has rolled.
And, like I said earlier, it doesn't matter anymore. It's all up the COI from here.
As Scooba said, you need to look at the date of his response. It was submitted before Farrar saw the UNM response that threw him under-the-bus.
Right now it looks like he was a good soldier, thinking everyone was on the same page, and they were going to deny and fight this together. In fact, the recent comments from his attorney, Bruse Lloyd, say that.
They were caught by surprise and are pissed about it. To them, it looks like UNM got what they wanted from Farrar, then turned on him.
They may yet pay him enough to shut him up...and that may be the card he is trying to play...but make no mistake...the most recent comments via Lloyd are a shot across the bow at UNM.
If you read Freeze's response you'll find a reference to what Freeze is claiming to have said, when told in December by the NCAA what Farrar is accused of doing. He purportedly said, "It makes me want to vomit".
That's included in the Freeze response. Do you really think Barney knew that was going to be in there when he agreed to the May 23rd response?
This is fantastic. They got al their responses together them changed it without telling him, tossed him under.
Wow
1. Print the letter May 23, 2017 concerning Farrar
2. Print the letter from the Attorney
3. Print the NCAA NOA
lay side by side the information and you will see where this mess is headed...
I would love to see Farrar's response to the NOA....
It still boils down to this: either Freeze is one dumb MF'er or he's covering his ass.
Neither looks good.
Barnyard is a tired old cheater who should take the scraps that the good old boys will be sending his way and fade into the sunset. Read Barneys lawerys response from Wednesday, it is more of an accurate read on Barneys frame of mind.
I have created many laugh lines on my face this glorious week.....
Farrar should be willing to blow this up. OM let him submit his response before they cut his throat. They played him.
But unless he can back up any renewed claims, any additional comments contradicting the official 5/23 response will more likely be viewed as a "disgruntled former employee". "Were you lying then, or are you lying now, Barney?".
I suspect he is just trying to get a bigger payoff. That, or he is genuinely pissed off at UNM, but will eventually see he is in a tough spot credibility-wise. I think UNM will point this out to him, and give him a little extra to soften the blow.
But did they? Farrar was fired in December 2016. He and counsel had to have known that the University response would include admission that he skirted rules. Otherwise, why else would they have fired him. They can't be that dumb.
What's happening is Barney and counsel are maintaining his innocence. They know he's guilty. That's why he got fired. He got busted an laid the price. But he also knows where the bodies are. Maintain your innocence and fire off an angry letter when the school publicly confirms that you cheated and hid it. It's a not so subtle reminder that he can really do some damage if they don't take case of him with whatever financial package they've got going. His name was becoming mud one way or another - might as well get some cash out of the party that would never admit they were in on it too.
bunch of people in the entire NCAA. They'll go to whatever extremes necessary to protect Ole Miss and their interest. I will guarantee you ole Barn got a golden parachute by some means and took a payoff. No doubt in my mind whatsoever that occurred. Barney hiring a lawyer appears to be cloak and dagger. I'm sure ole Barn will be very comfortably taken care of for quite a while. Meanwhile, I'll stand by my prediction that Freeze will NOT get a show cause, rather suspended and I'm guessing a two year bowl ban and 25-28 shollies cut.
This is correct. When you read Freeze's response, he says that when he heard about what Barney had done, he wanted to puke.
They are not in sync. Barney is attacking MSU and Leo, and assumed Freeze and Ole Miss had is back. Then Ole Miss came out and threw Barney under the bus.
It makes sense why the lawyer is chirping now.
The most interesting word in the response is the word "Initial", in the title line. The word Initial seems to reserve Barney the opportunity to amend the response thus making it Final.
Even after he was fired, Farrar and Freeze had the same counsel being paid for by the university until Mar 31, 2017. This is why his attorney went on the offensive prior to the release of UNM response. Remember his attorney's quote from Barney "We were all in this together - what happened to me?". I tell you what happened they mislead you into thinking the defense was going to be in sync with each other all the while they had shift plan of attack to not only LL but they were making him out to be the scapegoat. I don't believe for a second he is a willing fall guy. Once he got to read UNM response AFTER he had submitted his, that is when his attorney went public.
So the NCAA and UNM are in agreement that BF cheated, but BF says they did nothing wrong. The NCAA is going to kill him for lying. He has two choices. 1) Tell the NCAA the truth, throwing UNM under the bus to try to minimize his show cause or 2) resign himself to a high school job if he can get it. If he takes option two, he has been paid bigtime.
Looks like the skinheads lied to the barn and now back stabbed him. I'll bet he's seething.
