Ross Bjork should be fired.

[drt7891]

Yes, I said it. Should be fired. Tonight.

On 1/30, just days before OM signed their record breaking class, Ross Bjork released an official statement that said:

"...and in football, with many of the allegations dating back to the former football staff in 2010 and the withholding and reinstatement process around Laremy Tunsil in the Fall of 2015."

So 4 of 13 violations qualifies as "many?"

If that's not an outright lie, I don't know what is. Ross, we all know why you said what you did. Your *** purposefully held information past signing day and issued a ******** statement prior to it LYING about the allegations to protect your recruiting class. In the business world, people go to prison for releasing misleading statements like that. They call it fraud.

Recruits should have the option of being released out of their LOI and Ross Bjork should be fired for misleading information. You lied, Ross. You lied. You and Freeze lied to cover your *** so you could keep your recruiting class together. You lied to kids, their parents, your fanbase, and you lied to reporters.

I hope his butt feels the heat for this. What a pathetic, childish, selfish thing to do.

 

[patdog]

I said at the time that was a very carefully worded statement. It mislead, but it didn't outright lie. The majority of the violations did involve women's basketball and track. 15 out of 28. And "many" could be construed to mean anything more than 3. That statement had lawyer weasel-language written all over it.

 

[Crazy Cotton]

Ole Miss is an institution that belongs to, and is largely funded by the citizens of the State. Ignoring FOI requests, knowingly disseminating false information, facilitating rule breaking, corrupting the athletic programs - none of that serves the mission of a public university - to serve the greater good by producing productive, ethical citizens who will make the state better. I'd be pissed off if this was us in this situation because i care about the role of public education in making people's lives better. If i was a non-douchebag ole miss fan, i would be pissed off as hell if it turns out officials that should be part of the public trust were aware or even participated in what amounts to public corruption.

 

[JungRebel]

It says "...and (the Tunsil stuff)." That would be 4 from Saunders and 5 from Tunsil, 9 of the 13. The question is whether any of the other four are major violations. If they aren't, we get sanctions but we also keep our coaching staff. I don't think there is a second letter, coach66 is too confident there is.**

 

[KeyserSoze1999]

Maybe Bjork can step down and get her singing career going again.**

There is one thing that's for sure that OM fans in general have been 100% wrong about this whole thing. We were fed constant spin that 'there is no investigation," then after one was confirmed, the spin was "well it involves Nutt's tenure and has nothing to do with Freeze." So what's the spin now? Hell, Elitedawgs of all places has been more right about this than some Ole Miss fans I'm close to (who gave me the same spin week after week).

My point is that Your AD purposefully mislead recruits, fans, and the media with the sole purpose of holding together a top recruiting class. It's that simple. And nobody, including the top media outlet in this state, bothered to question it (and still won't). And he should feel the heat for that, because its wrong. Flat out wrong.

 

[JungRebel]

Do you know what he told recruits? If there are no major violations tied to Freeze's staff and no second investigation we are likely going to skate.

 

[AlCoDog]

Feel the heat from who? He's just a ***** doing what he was told by the folks running the show. All his words were fed to him by lawyers and donors. He's just guilty of being a ***** with a ****** conscience. Why do you think he was hired?

 

[KeyserSoze1999]

So it is Black History Month, does Ole Miss discuss their racist past / present / and future with the 5 Star recruits? Just saying bro!

He told them to pray.

Academic fraud is coming to light.

 

[hatfieldms]

If there is not a second investigation....

....why are people saying they have to stay anonymous during an ongoing investigation. If this is it why are they still investigating?

 

[fishwater99]

Do you know what he told recruits? If there are no major violations tied to Freeze's staff and no second investigation we are likely going to skate.

There is still an ongoing investigation.
Why do you feel the need to come to your rivals board and defend your ****** AD?

 

[JungRebel]

I don't know if there is or not, just saying what I think, with some loaded ifs for sure. I read that as talking about this investigation, as penalties have not been set. I have no inside information.

 

[KeyserSoze1999]

JungRebel, I did my part I sent my proof of recruiting violations to the Ole Miss Compliance Dept---THEY were suppose to destroy the evidence. If they had done their part and destroyed ALL the evidence then the NCAA wouldn't have found anything. Obviously Ole Miss is the weak link (Fredo Corleone) here and MSU the little brother (Michael Corleone) is the stronger link.

[JungRebel]

Why do you feel the need to ***** about Mullen's record against the AP top 25?

I did some math for him.

 

[DancingRabbit]

You can only go by what recruits said Freeze told them about the NOA.

Do you know what he told recruits? If there are no major violations tied to Freeze's staff and no second investigation we are likely going to skate.

According to ESPN, Deontay Anderson said, "It didn't affect me. I talked to Coach Freeze about it. He said it was about things that had happened in the past before he got to Ole Miss. I knew he would be honest with me. When I first heard it, it didn't shake me up."

 

[KeyserSoze1999]

Don't need to defend Bjork he had the proof of recruiting violations that we all sent him and he was too lazy to destroy all the evidence. Bjork is like the teenage boy who forgot to take his Porno Movie out of the living room VCR player, and the NCAA is like the parents who push "PLAY" on the remote.

I did some math for him.

I did some math and this is not Bucky's first run in with the NCAA. Yall preach he runs a clean program and would never do anything wrong. Then why the 17 has **** happened with him on two different tenures?

 

[JungRebel]

Freeze isn't named in this NOA.

 

[ShrubDog]

Good lord you can stretch your mind. It happened on his watch.

 

[JungRebel]

Redmond happened on Mullen's "watch."

If the report Chris Low did is accurate, Freeze himself is not being accused.

 

[fishwater99]

Freeze isn't named in this NOA.

Your and idiot.

 

[ShrubDog]

Do you think anyone cares what happened in the Redmond case right now...

Your school brandishes BS.

 

[JungRebel]

"Sources confirmed to ESPN.com's Chris Low on Tuesday that Ole Miss was not cited for the more serious failure-to-monitor charge and that Freeze was not personally named in any of the charges."

 

[KeyserSoze1999]

Oh crap! JungRebel is 100% correct, I just found out that Bjork and Ole Miss have retained the legal services of their famous alumni law firm Dewey, Cheatem, & Howe.

By the time these lawyers are through the NCAA will have to disband and pay Ole Miss a $500 Million cash award. With this extra cash and no more NCAA Ole Miss will be able to buy the best Football recruits in the Universe and will win an unprecedented 50 National Championships in a row.**

[ShrubDog]

He knows what is going on man. He knew all about the Tunsil ****. He knew about the academic ****. He knew about contacting recruits ****. Heck he has done the same thing himself.

He may not be named but he knows what the 17 has been going on. Guilty by association on a simple minded level.

 

[JungRebel]

You said it happened with him. I don't give a **** if our program is clean, I give a **** if we go on probation. I have said something to that effect on here several times before. What matters is that Freeze isn't named and will remain our coach.

 

[KeyserSoze1999]

JungRebel, maybe Hugh Freeze was not specifically named but Hugh Freeze is undeniably in charge---Head Coach of Ole Miss. If violations occurred while he was Head Coach (2012--present day) then he is responsible it is just a question as to if Hugh was "corrupt" (involved in the illegal actions) or if he is "incompetent" (unaware of the actions of his subordinates).

For example, I was in a low management position and one night when I wasn't even in the workplace, 2 of my crew smoked Marijuana. My boss found out about it---the 2 from my crew were fired AND I was demoted from my manager position. This is what Shakespeare meant when he wrote---"uneasy lies the head that wears a Crown..."

 

[ShrubDog]

I said this is not his first run in with the NCAA.

This was an ESPN article Feb. 9 2006

"The other violations reported by Ole Miss included tight ends coach Hugh Freeze, who at the time was director of football operations and did not have recruiting responsibilities. Freeze
participated in telephone calls with four Memphis-area prospects
between Oct. 30 and Nov. 13."


Now he is the head coach and the buck stops with the head coach. The football program that is ripe with corruption and it starts at the top. Samething can be said about the AD.

To say this current stuff doesnt involve Bucky because he has not been named is phenomenally ignorant. Nothing may ever happen to Bucky but he sure as heck knows what goes on under his watch.

 

[KeyserSoze1999]

Hugh Freeze will remain your Ole Miss Head Coach because he is more financially important in his management position (Ole Miss Head Coach) than I was in my limited management position.

He has won big and won quickly and has made Ole Miss football part of the National discussion---before he came Ole Miss wasn't even in the Regional discussion and Nutt had like a dozen players close to being academically ineligible.

 

[Nugdawg]

Can someone fark us a picture of Colonel Reb with a Pinochio nose?

 

[tatedog]

You have to realize it would take a photo of Hugh Freeze passing hundred dollar bills to a recruit, holding up a sign that says "This is a violation of NCAA rules" before any of them would even start to consider that Freeze himself might be involved in this. Freeze knows that and that's why he has had noooo problem playing fast and loose with the truth. All of his sanctimonious ******** is an excellent investment to make sure the flock stays faithful.

 

[HaleStater]

Redmond happened on Mullen's "watch."

If the report Chris Low did is accurate, Freeze himself is not being accused.

Haha it's not accurate. Your coach and AD are both liars. That's best case scenario. Heavy sanctions are coming. Pass the lube around to the rest of your Rebel brethren because you don't want the NCAA going in dry.

 

[HammerOfTheDogs]

so what are you going to do next year for Homecoming? You can look at what smu did...or perhaps look at the schools who don't have football. Maybe you can double homecoming with Pilgrimage....make it a two-fer.

 

[BiscuitEater]

It says "...and (the Tunsil stuff)." That would be 4 from Saunders and 5 from Tunsil, 9 of the 13. The question is whether any of the other four are major violations.

Kind rebel .. please explain 'why' Bjork shouldn't be immediately terminated. Majority of all offenses spanning several years, three sports and four different head coaches occurred under his watch.

 

[KurtRambis4]

Earlier in this

thread you basically say "I don't know I haven't seen it", and now you know what it says specifically? What?

 

[dawgstudent]

What I can do is fark a picture of a coach with humongous teeth...

 

[tatedog]

Jesus man, you really went overboard with the teeth!

 

[dudehead]

You said it happened with him. I don't give a **** if our program is clean, I give a **** if we go on probation. I have said something to that effect on here several times before. What matters is that Freeze isn't named and will remain our coach.

You don't care if your program is clean?

And people wonder what has happened to our country.

I present you with Exhibit A...

 

[JungRebel]

You do? I have read dozens of times on this site that MSU needs to "play the game." You must want Croom back.
