Based on the following statement vote:

Thumbs up = YES it was a mistake

Thumbs Down = NO it was not a mistake

“Considering the penalty that he received, Ole Miss made a mistake by firing Hugh Freeze.”

Looking back, there is something to be said for the argument that the NCAA's real target was Hugh Freeze and not Ole Miss. Once they got his hide, they were satisfied (although I'm still perplexed by how light they went on him personally).

In conjunction with the Network firing on all cylinders, I think there are several coaches who could have given the same results without drawing the attention of the NCAA. This is my rationale for voting yes.

Because of how easy they went on him, I bet Bjork and Vitter are second guessing their decision. I thought the NCAA would hammer the hell out of him since he was already fired. He should have been low hanging fruit. Instead, if he was still the coach they may have not given him ****.

The wild card here is Mars. He forced a lot of things to happen that never would have been dreamed of otherwise. There's no doubt he inflicted more PR damage on them.

Mars and Rosebowl.
I believe it was the right thing to do (fire the hypocrite bastard). I believe most of the rebel faithful would have loved to have kept him around if they only knew how this was going to play out. Also pretty sure he probably threw others under the bus to get the slap on the wrist, besides the ones we already know about (Barney).
