I expect it to keep up with the Jones, but it's not a sin. Unless you lie and 17 prostitutes, the jump up on a hickory stump and profess what a humble bible thumper you are

17 Hugh Freeze

Cheating on wife? Between him, God, and family. Fine, I'll leave it alone.

Skirt NCAA rules? We expect the same from our guys to at least be on a level field. Fine, I'll leave it alone.

Lie to the face of other people's kids to get them to fall in line to advance your career, never acknowledge it, and then preach love along they way?

17 off, you POS hypocrite. People expect others to mess up. People don't expect to get pissed on and then told it's raining. Freeze is the kind of person that is causing the church to have declining numbers yet somehow he's continually praised for being a godly man. He's a wolf in sheep's clothing and I hope the parent's of kids he tries to swindle see through it.

Hugh Freeze being a coach of a FBS program is proof we didn't fully win. This is the first step on his redemption tour. I would bet a lot of money he'll be back in the SEC in a couple seasons and will try to get back to OM sooner rather than later.

I disagree that Freeze’s coaching status has anything to do with us or whether we won anything. It shows the ncaa didn’t come down as hard as they could have, but shouldn’t affect us as a program one way or the other.

I do not. I genuinely dislike everything about him as a person. He is a cheating snake who uses God and faith as a sales tactic. He did not get nearly the punishment he deserved.

I still believe that in '14, MSU was headed to the CFP...and in '15 were headed to that 1st elusive Sugar Bowl. And lost both times to a team that was riddled with guys that shouldn't have been eligible. Of course, Mullen's interest in his next gig down the stretch of those seasons...didn't help matters.

Exactly.

People don't hate him because he made a mistake. People dislike Freeze because anyone who has lived in the Bible Belt long enough have met a Hugh Freeze before. The self aggrandizing, slimy preacher who talks of godliness and lives completely differently. People like this are narcissists and never view themselves as truly being wrong and always victims.

And even taking his private issues in his marriage out of the equation, he is a man who has never shown remorse for his professional conduct that lead to Ole Miss essentially being irrelevant in football for the next decade. As much as I dislike the Bear Sharks, Freeze and his staff deliberately mislead many of those players regarding the NCAA investigation, lied to fans and cast blame on anyone but himself... still to this day he has never apologized for these actions.

Hugh has made his money, he's coached in the big leagues of college football, he's out coached the best college football coach possibly of all time, yet that's not enough for him. He put his family though so much because of his arrogance and selfishness but he's not ready to stop. Not because he loves coaching, he could be a head coach or a coordinator for a community college or high school, somewhere with less exposure, but because it's his chance to be in the spot light, to give that sermon, to have all eyes on him as the amazing Godly Hugh Freeze.

He can't do that as the head coach of Jonesboro High School or even as the offensive coordinator at Tennessee but he sure can at Liberty. The student body and alumni will eat up the Christian redemption arc, the administration gets their wins and no one cares as long as he occasionally has long winded speeches about love and raising young Christian men.

With me it's all about timing--too soon for the "redemption tour", too soon to be back coaching. Hugh Freeze can absolutely be forgiven for what he did. But sin comes with a price. He should have laid low for several years, worked on his relationship with is wife and kids, apologized to Houston Nutt and the kids/parents/administrators/fans/etc. he mislead, and proved that he was truly sorry for what he did and that he had truly changed from the person he had become. I believe any sound clergy would have recommended the same or similar.
