Exclamation Hugh Freeze Quotes
For better or for worse, this is what you're getting... (and if this is already posted somewhere else, I apologize)

From Dennis Dodd - some H Freeze quotes:

Quote:On Coaching at Liberty: "If you want a guy who is going to recruit a bunch of angels, I'm not your guy." This and preceding H Freeze quotes were from his recent interview on 104.5 The Zone in Nashville.

On being fired from Ole Miss: "Your name's been ripped apart. You've been let go which I never thought I would. I used to fear the heck out of that ... It may not be the last time I'm let go ... Life is worth living."

On trouble endured/caused: "I'm at peace with who I am ... even with the hell I had to endure and caused and some of both."

On how close he came to being Alabama OC: "Even though I was cleared of most of that (not named in infractions), the fact of the matter was I was the leader of the program. The buck has to stop somewhere."

Enjoy it while it lasts, 'cause it won't last long IMO.

I don’t love the hire from a PR stand point. I do think he is going to win and win fast. I think he will be gone after this year. We go 9-3 and Vandy comes calling.

The first one is about how he isn’t the type of guy to not give a guy second chances essentially. The second saying that he isn’t going to worry about pressure just do what he can and what he is able to control. The third he is saying he let god take control of his life so it is what it is. The last one he was talking about he felt a lot of the infractions were put on him unfairly but was saying Nick and him never really got deep into the conversations implying that those infractions may have had something to do with it. I’ve listened to literally all of his interviews so this is really picking and choosing on these quotes. I’m still not a huge fan of his.

RE: Hugh Freeze Quotes
I am not a fan of Freeze. I think the context of the quotes matters. I just hope when he moves on that he doesn't leave us the way he left Mississippi. I don't want a bunch of sanctions and black eyes. We already have a perception problem and then hire Briles and then again with Freeze.

You mean Ian? Briles might follow if Hugh is successful (as much as I hope not).

Yeah, thanks. Meant McCaw but it doesn't change my point.

RE: Hugh Freeze Quotes


Nothing controversial here but I wish we would brand ourselves as a P5 independent rather than a "top Group of 5 school". I know we have much more in common with an average Sun Belt school than an average ACC school as far as athletic stature but being independent gives us a grey area of sorts than I think we should take advantage of marketing-wise.

I rather take this step for the next 2-3 seasons then shifting to the direction of growing our program toward a power independent by then.

Agreed. We want to ultimately fly high, but we're the new kids on the block, so no way we're getting branded a P5 school right now. Even Memphis, Cincinnati, & Houston are still G5s.

I think it's wise to phrase it the way he did.

RE: Hugh Freeze Quotes
There is really no harm in what Freeze said. It could be considered a step along the way. With the FBS training wheels now removed from LU, wins and losses will carry much larger impact than a sound bite that is mostly discussed among LU fans, that will be forgotten soon. An upset win over a higher ranked opponent and a loss to a FCS program will carry much more importance than a G5 identify and mention.

We have control over what we call ourselves. I look at it as an edge over other schools. Everyone can see what conference you are in determines whether you are a Power school or not. Without a conference for LU, we can help control the narrative about ourselves. Sure it may not work or help but if we don't do it, no one will do it for us. It could be the difference between landing a recruit or not. It could give us a leg up on a G5. We don't have a NY6 autobid to play for like a G5 conference champion so we need something to set us apart.
