Freeze throws funeral for himself; invites team

[FlotownDawg]

This sounds like a headline from The Onion, but it apparently happened. Looks like Freeze is starting to lose it. The investigation must really be getting to him.

WTF hahaha

 

[11thEagleFan]

Prayers sent.

If OM upsets FSU, every coach in America will be planning their own mock funerals.

 

[patdog]

The guy is legitimately mentally ill.

 

[campshelbydog842003]

This is really really really creepy

 

[Nugdawg]

Considering that they

had 6 very REAL funerals in Oxford in the last week where a lot of hearts and emotions were tested, the timing of this "fake" funeral is a bit off in my opinion. But, when you think you are the Messiah, anything goes I guess.

 

[TBone.sixpack]

I was thinking the same exact thought. Poor timing.

 

[121Josey]

The Ghosts of Mississippi welcome his sacrifice. And they're not whistling Dixie. Signed, Dead Ingines

 

[Xenomorph]

Fitting since the NCAA is about to bury him.

 

[Shamoan]

was he crucified on a cross he gnawed for himself? cracks are beginning to show...wont be long now.

 

[dorndawg]

Still creepy AF, but this article makes it sound a bit better http://www.coachingsearch.com/artic...neral-to-make-a-point-to-his-Ole-Miss-players

When I read "created a funeral scene", I thought something from early 90's WWF involving The Undertaker & Paul Bearer.

 

[DawgatAuburn]

That's completely self-absorbed. Just another opportunity for Hugh to make sure everyone knows how virtuous he is. Maybe you do that for your players as a way to make a point about how to get results (even though it still seems entirely self-centered when he described it), but just keep it private. There's no need to share that with the media unless you just want everyone to know about it.

 

[Dawgbite]

Well, if anybody finds out where they buried him, post it here cause I really gotta take a wiz and I don't know how much longer I can hold it.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

Sounds like he stopped just short of that scene. I'm surprised.

 

[jb1020]

did the band come and play one last version of slow dixie?

 

[scdog1]

This part of the article is unbelievable to me.

"So I created my funeral scene. A lot of that had to do with the events of these past few weeks (the death of six Oxford residents in a plane crash)"

I'm sure their kids appreciate you using their parents death to teach your players a "lesson". What an *** clown.

I remember my opinion of stuff like this when I was in college. I can't imagine in any situation where it would have been positive. I clearly don't understand the 16-18 year olds he recruits. This goofy **** would have definitely pushed me to play for someone else.

I'll just leave this here:

According to the Mayo Clinic, individuals with Narcissistic Personality Disorder have most or all of the following symptoms, typically without commensurate qualities or accomplishments:

1. Grandiosity with expectations of superior treatment from others
2. Fixated on fantasies of power, success, intelligence, attractiveness, etc.
3. Self-perception of being unique, superior and associated with high-status people and institutions
4. Needing constant admiration from others
5. Sense of entitlement to special treatment and to obedience from others
6. Exploitative of others to achieve personal gain
7. Unwilling to empathize with others' feelings, wishes, or needs
8. Intensely jealous of others and the belief that others are equally jealous of them
9. Pompous and arrogant demeanor

The $100 bills makes the goofy **** this clown does more palatable.

I wonder what his die hard followers think of this tactic? Surely they can't be pleased with this clip.

 

[tired]

Textbook narcissism

 

[RightOfCenter]

I wish I could have seen the looks on the players faces. You know some walked in slow and careful thinking they were about to be punked.

You know they will eat it up.

Was his theatrical show the very same day (yesterday) that my two high school friends were laid to rest??? They were truly charitable, awesome people that gave so much to their community and the broader world through missions and anonymous gifts. If so, he's gone off the deep end. He must be incapable of learning from others' examples. Hugh Freeze, you truly suck.

And evidently Freeze brought in some of the kids that were left behind to practice to run through drills with them. Like, literally less than a week after the accident. I just thought that was a weird activity considering how the kids were more than likely not even over the initial shock yet.

 

[aTotal360]

They drop to their knees and exclaim "He is risen". Followed by wiping tears from their eyes.

 

[KurtRambis4]

This SOB has finally lost it*

[patdog]

I think it was more like a day or two after the accident. I don't think the parents were even buried yet.

 

[BulldogBlitz]

was he dressed in sun god robes and everyone threw little pickles at him?

 

[dawgstudent]

Eh - you can't fault Freeze on that one. It was a kind gesture.

 

[TBone.sixpack]

Boy he sure doesn't like it when someone says he is down. He takes offense to that with a quickness.

 

[DawgatAuburn]

I'll give you kind, but the timing is tone deaf.

 

[dawgface]

no matter what happens, it is ALWAYS all about freezus....

i'd like to know who the 8 boosters dissociated from the bears so far are....wouldn't it be funny if ah-chee was one of 'em?

also, is it possible to pay in advance for a copy of steve's book? i don't know how far back he's gonna go but there are generations of DAWGS who will be interested in buying this book if he does it up right....

 

[TheStateUofMS]

Not that big of a deal to me. Might even be a good way to get through 18-21 year old's heads to reach their full potential.

We don't hear a lot about the way Dan motivates other than the "STRAIN" type speeches, but I would hope he does some pretty cool things behind the scenes.

Anyone know of any Dan motivational speeches he's addressed to his teams?

 

[DerHntr]

The more I think about it, this is by far the creepiest and weirdest thing I have ever heard of any coach at any level in any sport doing. This guy is nuts.

 

[goodknight]

Wondered why everybody was dancing!

This guy, what next.

 

[dawgface]

so according to freezus, the only people really important to him (as far as what they think about him) in the order he listed are:

(1) wife
(2) kids
(3) players
(4) parents

so.....asst. coaches, fans, "network", administration, alumni, etc aren't real high on his list. that's good to know----you hear that, ah-chee?
