Finebam Interview: PR Tag-Team Champions Edition

[121Josey]

Here we go. Freezus looks pissed.

 

[TBone.sixpack]

He sure doesn't look right for sure.

 

[121Josey]

All Bjork so far. Integrity. We discovered most of these ourselves. Self-reported them. Bla bla. 100% behind Freezus.

 

[121Josey]

Any program that has been investigated as long as we have will have mistakes found.

 

[121Josey]

Narrative out there and we can't comment on them.

 

[msudawg05]

If you'll just read the report.

 

[121Josey]

To my knowledge. No proof of buying players. There were mistakes made.

 

[codeDawg]

Hey Freeze, you may not be personally handing out cash, but turning a blind eye to booster activity is the same thing.

 

[121Josey]

My responsibility to be open and transparent. Trust me I've read these files over and over. Is there willful entent enough that I should make a change in someone.... we know all the facts. I know the intent. I know how they originated. But any of the things alleged should not result in that.

 

[ByersFarm]

I know him and don't think he's a man of integrity.

 

[121Josey]

I struggle with cetain things - pride, chewin' bacca. The first time I've heard that I'm not a man of integrity. I know who I am. Bla bla.

 

[msudawg05]

Bjork just admitted to doing things they've never done and having a game plan going back to the 2013 recruiting class.

 

[TBone.sixpack]

They know they are gonna get ***** slapped.

 

[121Josey]

Game plan through the 2013, 2014 recruiting class. Can't control the narrative. Can control what's happened in our walls. Oxford's beauty no longer matters.

 

[msudawg05]

We're ready for this to be over as soon as possible...after we've exhausted all of our extensions and delays.

 

[was21]

My God, this is so disgusting to listen to this hypocrite

 

[aTotal360]

Hugh Freeze is a pathological liar.

 

[121Josey]

Don't stop loving T$UNil. Want to help him navagate next stage of life. We do have a plan. Mistakes do happen. I've won a lot of games at places that had no money. Back to HS. We have a knackt for catching family.

 

[bulldognation]

"We still love!" - Coach Hugh Febreeze

 

[tatedog]

Did Finebaum bring up the draft night antics? If not you can be assured the questions were approved ahead of time.

 

[TBone.sixpack]

He seemed agitated by their 'performance'

GUILTY

 

[121Josey]

Confidence in penalties accepted? Looked at precedent and guidelines. Strongly confident. Where are you on these coaches? We stand with them. We believe in them, checks n balances. Will have answers soon.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

Those Bastards should have stayed in Oxford!

,

 

[TBone.sixpack]

Yep. This is a bad look.

 

[121Josey]

Humbling. Closer to family. Document everything you, in regards to compliance. My expectations are clear, with integrity. Tweet deleted. Regret using twitter at platform. Vicious platform. Ran it by Ross. I'm just a poor coach. Unusual path. Break with the Ogre. I told him, If there's something happening we want to know about it. So much thrown at us. We aren't running from anything.

We got a lot of responses.

 

[121Josey]

Rosebowl recording starts in 3, 2, 1....

 

[bulldognation]

"We believe in our checks and balances" - Ross Bjork

Some might call 'checks and balances' mighty suspect there Ross. It's delusional that you can sit there and act like it's no big deal while smugly saying "we believe in what we're doing" when obviously the rules clearly state that what you're doing is wrong.

The narrative continues. They will stick to their guns.

 

[121Josey]

This pre-recorded post-interview religious zealot piece makes me sick.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

Post interview?, I thought it was a Paid Commercial.

 

[Dawg1976]

That was probably part of the deal. Give FB an interview with a Freeze p/r clip at the end.

 

[tatedog]

Well technically he didn't say who the checks were written to or who the balances were owed to, so he's got some leeway on that one.

 

[121Josey]

Post interview?, I thought it was a Paid Commercial.

Yep. Sally Struthers would be proud. "For just $305 a month,"

 

[Dawgzilla]

The word of the day is: "NARRATIVE".

They barely answered any questions. They spoke a bunch of words, but didn't say anything.

 

[KeyserSoze1999]

Freeze's area of expertise was supposed to be RECRUITING...that is supposedly why Ole Miss hired him, because he was a good recruiter. So now Freeze's position is that "mistakes" were made in Recruiting because he "didn't come up the ranks like a regular coach".

So he didn't know how to do the Job that he was hired to do and claimed expertise in. And now the NCAA and the Media are coming after him simply because he is a Christian.

Did Finebaum bring up the draft night antics? If not you can be assured the questions were approved ahead of time.

Yes, but they didn't really answer. Freeze said it was a surprise and was something they had to look into. I'm watching it delayed, so not totally up to date.

 

[tatedog]

Yes, but they didn't really answer. Freeze said it was a surprise and was something they had to look into. I'm watching it delayed, so not totally up to date.

So let me get this straight. The NCAA has been investigating for 3+ years and counting, and Freeze is just now asking assistant coaches... "hey are any players getting cash under the table?"

How much looking into does this require?

 

[RocketDawg]

Finebaum pretty much handled them with kid gloves, which I sorta expected given their positions. Her certainly treated them with more respect than he does his callers (but most of his callers deserve zero respect since they are total idiots).

I'd never seen Bjork interviewed before, and never even heard him say anything. Most may not agree, but I think he's a good PR man, and seems to be quite intelligent. He comes across well. I hesitate to say "quick on his feet" because the questions may have been those that the pair approved.
