"The most taxing part is not being able to control the narrative". Thought it was funny.

He also said he use to think about himself as a HC that sits in the offensive room and figures out how to score points. Now, he's a coach that needs to be responsible for everyone's actions below him "both inside and outside the building". I kind of thought that was the idea.

Also said "I probably care too much what people say about me".

XM interview was better than TV, IMO.

Again with the martyr bullcrap. He knew he was responsible for his staff and boosters and it is completely fair considering he is paid millions of dollars and held to the same responsibilities as the rest of the NCAA coaches. It's sickening to see him piss and moan about it constantly.

That's the difference in making $40, 000 as a high school coach and $4,000,000 as a college coach. Don't worry, you'll have a lot less responsibilty soon.

Was that the interview with Neuheisel? Rick asked if coaching was still fun. Freeze said, "the fun will return once all of this is over. It used to be fun at Lambuth and Arkansas State."

I actually think he makes it through all this with his job intact. They are too far all in to fold now.

Well, he's in the major leagues now, not still at Lambuth and Arky State. And he's making about $5M plus endorsements, etc., at the Bears and probably much less than 10% of that at the other schools. He's got to put up with some heat, especially when it's self-inflicted.

"Dang it, Rick, cheating at Lambuth and Arkansas State was just so much gosh darned easier and relaxing."

Well, you lose your ability to control the narrative when you feed media sources ******** as an "unnamed source" and burn their, and your, credibility.

If I was on the NCAA COI, I'm not sure I would be completely convinced that Danny Hugh is capable of enforcing institutional control based on his own words. I wonder if there is some way they can get his attention.

This sums up the typical Ole Miss mentality nicely: all about perception.
Doesn't matter if you're a shifty lying snake oil salesman so long as your persona is crafted into a pious ninja recruiter.

That's what makes me think they've got their man in Freeze. He's all too willing to play the role of the embattled Christian soldier/coach while the supporting cast around him orchestrates Flipmas.

They have so much invested in this facade they know they won't get such a willing partnership with another man going forward. They'll cling to the playbook as long as they can. And when the dust settles and they get their due, I'm certain they will crank that system back up again and call it a resurgence.
