A Little Bird Say

Hugh Freeze is resigning tomorrow*

In b4 da lock

 

[57stratdawg]

Seems to be rumor

 

[Willow Grove Dawg]

I heard he would be gone this week, so I guess this rumor might have some legs.

 

[Shmuley]

So it took the sheriff hammering on the gallows before the shitheads realized what was about to happen? A little late for that, ain't it, shitheads?

 

[mcdawg22]

He'll wait until Good Friday, symbolism and all.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

Somebody been talking to the hairdresser?

Inquiring minds want to know.

 

[Todd4State]

He'll wait until Good Friday, symbolism and all.

If he waits until Weds he can give up Ole Miss for Lent.

 

[pDigital32Dawg]

I'm detecting a pattern. Tuesday was a crappy day for MSU sports, only to be followed by the 2nd NOA for Ole Miss on Wednesday. Today was a crappy day for MSU sports, which means something bad will happen to Ole Miss athletics tomorrow.

In conclusion, Cohen recognizes that misery loves company, and makes sure that when we crap the bed, so does Ole Miss. The Cohen effect is real

Part of a deal with the NCAA ?

 

[Shmuley]

Resign and no show cause, maybe?

 

[57stratdawg]

I don't think there is going to be much "dealing" with the NCAA under the new penalty structure.

I have a hard time believing they're going to cut OM some slack for firing their coach with basically every meaningful eye in the country watching.

 

[patdog]

So why make such a big show last week about how much the school supports him and is contesting the charges against him? Stupid. But pretty much everything they've done in this entire investigation has been the opposite of what they should have done, so it wouldn't surprise me.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

Very Probably

and a logical attempt to save a second year bowl ban, (about another $8mil.)

Plus it gets Om out of the position of naming an interim coach in July +/_ ...

They can do that now.

 

[Croom's knee socks]

If it is due to his er exploring other beaver dams, does the Christian men's conference remove him as a speaker this summer?

 

[tatedog]

Leo Lewis' mom must have told Freeze that Dan Mullen was going to resign on Tuesday.

That whole thing reeked of the dreaded "vote of confidence". You know what I mean? A GM or owner comes out and gives a vote of confidence for a a coach during the midst of a bad season and then said coach is fired a week later.

 

[patdog]

Why would the NCAA cut a deal with them now, or ever? The NCAA holds all the cards. Mississippi has nothing they could possibly give the NCAA that they can't just take. There is no deal. If this is true, they've simply realized (late) that Freeze has no hope of escaping a show cause and they're just cutting ties now so they can frame this as him destroying the program while they were victims who trusted him and his slick talk.

 

[patdog]

You don't give a "vote of confidence" to a coach when the NCAA's just nailed him for violating head coach's responsibility. You fire his *** for cause as soon as the letter arrives.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

Why did we hire Croom?

LOL!

This is true for rational/sane people like you and me. We are talking about a very special breed of people however.

 

[patdog]

It's far too little, too late for them to get much leniency for announcing a resignation now. He'll still get the show cause, and they're still going to get 17ed.

 

[patdog]

We are talking about a very special breed of people however.

Yes we are.

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

I'm having a hard time believing the NCAA will be more lenient on Ole Miss for letting Hugh Freeze resign with any modicum of grace. Maybe if they kicked him to the curb and told him to 17 off. Maybe.

 

[Hail State]

He gone

Hugh Freeze is resigning tomorrow*

Nm

 

[Shamoan]

Better than firing him....that'd be rich having bjork fire freeze.

 

[Shamoan]

Good point. They are stepping all over their own dicks and have done so for the last 4 years. Why stop now?

 

[whosyourdawgy]

Considering the fact that Hugh just tweeted No, I'd say this was another rumor

 

[Croom's knee socks]

Maybe he's saying he's learned no means no?

 

[Resolved]

Maybe it's just my lack of Twitter knowledge, but I can't find Hugh's Twit saying "No"??

 

[Resolved]

Perhaps he got the wrong envelope for "Most Likely to Resign".

 

[whosyourdawgy]

****. It was the not Hugh Freeze account that said "No". So maybe game is still on for resigning tomorrow

 

[Tripper123044]

He and his wife were at the OM baseball game today.

 

[Resolved]

Hugh, we know you and your boy Ross read the Pack, so why not announce it here first? It's the least you can do. Go out with a bang! Maybe give us a big "17 YOU" while you're at it! Then tweet a bible verse.

 

[thatsbaseball]

Then why didn`t the NCAA simply announce the penalties with the NOA. I`m afraid some of yall are fooling yourselves if you don`t think that OM is going to get to do some "plea bargaining" prior to the punishments being handed down. I`m also afraid (though OM will be hit hard) a lot of us are going to be disappointed in the punishment if for no other reason than we know, better than anyone else, just how bad this has been.

 

[patdog]

Because that's not the way the process works. The COI issues the penalties and it hasn't met yet on this case, other than to approve the use of immunity for the MSU, Auburn & Bama players in exchange for testimony. But you're kidding yourself if you think Mississippi has any chips to bargain with. They don't. Anything Mississippi could offer up (say a coach resigning), the NCAA could just as easily take anyway. This is going to end very badly for them.

 

[o_dawgnabit]

Resign and no show cause, maybe?

There can still be a show cause. It will just mean that if he gets another head coaching job, they will have to go before the NCAA and prove why he should be able to coach there

 

[TrueMaroonGrind]

Doubtful

Hugh Freeze is resigning tomorrow*

Highly doubt this. It makes no sense for Hugh to do this. He would most likely receive the same show cause whether he is the coach at Ole Miss or not. He wouldn't get any money as opposed to working until the COI hearing and getting fired afterwards. No other school would go anywhere near him, so he isn't leaving for another job. This is his dream job and Hugh thinks he is being persecuted by an atheist NCAA investigator and believes the COI hearing will exonerate him.

I may may be wrong but in my mind Hugh is playing the violin on the Titanic until it sinks or he gets thrown overboard by the crew.

 

[thatsbaseball]

Well if what you`re saying is correct, then all the COI has to do is basically have a short meeting to look up the prescribed punishment for each allegation in their manual and apply them because their case is infallible and above any challenge. I personally hope you`re right but I`ll believe it when I see it.
