Farrar just rolled over on UNM!

[blacklistedbully]

Maybe I'm missing something. Sounds like he didn't admit to anything and is standing firm he didn't do anything wrong. Maybe I'm missing something

He's not denying he committed violations, rather he's denying he did it on his own, as a rogue coach. He's denying he "circumvented the university" or "disregarded Freeze's repeated directives".

In other words, he is not denying the cheating...he is claiming the UNM response to the NCAA blaming him alone is a lie. This is really bad news for UNM as their legal team will have to argue a position in front of the COI that is directly contradicted by Farrar, calling the UNM legal team's credibility into question.

That team was literally representing Farrar just prior to the time they dropped him and threw him out as a scapegoat. That is a really, really bad look for a law firm. Casts more doubt on their integrity and honesty.

It actually sounds like Farrar is seeking action against everybody but Freeze. Sounds like he still admires Freeze greatly. He doesn't sound too bright. It doesn't feel like he's turned on Freeze so much as he's going to try to prove his own innocence.

make no mistake about it - Ole Barney is as guilty as sin ..... seems to me the old cliche about thieves turning on each other is in play ........ and for all you om lawyer wanna-be's it's only a metaphor ok

[ShotgunDawg]

Of note, Farrer is not debating the story of SA39. Interesting.

[Pollodawg]

I stick by my assertion that old Barn ain't the brightest bulb.

Sounds to me like he is saying that Freeze didn't give Farrar all the those directives to stop as the OM defense lawyers have allegedly said happened. And also that he wasn't a rogue coach masterminding the plam.

[BeardoMSU]

You don't wanna **** with Barney cause Barney will ****ing kill you

Should we start calling him "Slim Barney"?***

[Spiderman]

He ain't rolled. That's a damn threat, not just to Ole Miss but that law firm. I bet Freeze is the only one kicking in to to Barney Fund right now.

He's letting OM know they better pony up some scratch too.

A LOT of scratch.

What a bunch of shameless clowns

Possible translation: 'There is shit the NCAA does not yet know....YET....."

I think the only innocence that he can prove is that he was not the rogue coach as alleged, and was not the mastermind concerning these recruiting violations.

[dotcomdawg]

This reads like he's setting up a lawsuit against the law firm. Can you say "malpractice"?

[ShotgunDawg]

But after that, its not like the NCAA will believe a story where Barney takes all the fault.

....and....that ain't good for the confederates.

[Perpetual Underachiever]

It really doesn't matter what is fact, and what is fiction... This whole squabble does one thing, it further strengthens the NCAA's charge of "Lack of Institutional Control."

What a laughable shit show!

[Mimi's Babies]

It is my understanding that BF had many different forms of documentation... against HF

[Bodaski]

I am still in awe that Ole Miss is this dis-organized at how they've handled this.

How has Barney not been bought off to take the fall?

It's no wonder these cheating idiots got caught by the NCAA. They are sloppy & lack foresight.

Again, I am absolutely amazed that they didn't tie up all the loose ends of this thing in a way that Barney & Freeze were on the same team.


Ruh roh. I mean this passage it states that Barney is directly contesting the entire basis of the NOA response

Barney and his attorney just made their case. He was following orders and all moves were known by Freeze.

[yjnkdawg]

If Freeze was not aware of all that was going on, he has to be one of the most clueless coaches in all of college football. If that's the case, then that is not having much control over your football program. Now is it? I think we all have our doubts that any HC coach could be that clueless.

[yjnkdawg]

Farrar response is already in the NCAA hands the time for cutting deals has passed.

THIS - On ponying up, well OM should have done that a good bit earlier. I think their pony bolted out of the barn and he's gone.

Think about if they'd paid off Ole Barn and Miller. They'd prob be looking at half the penalties and keeping Freezus.

That's why the NCAA has to punish Freeze severely. Because he is either:

1. A big ole cheater

or

2. An honest guy, but an incompetent and clueless manager of a staff who can't see cheating going on right in front of his eyes. He totally lacks the skill and capability of running a recruiting system in the proper manner.

Either of the above make him unqualified to be a collegiate head coach. So he has to go.
