Scalding take on Saint Hugh

"Hugh is one of the good guys in college football," Auburn coach Gus Malzahn said earlier in the morning.

It's getting harder and harder to believe with each passing week.

He spoke about the "lot we have inherited" and that they have caused "in some cases," and how they have to make the most of it.

I ask you, ladies and gentlemen, who is more character-driven and full of integrity than Hugh Freeze?

He sure does know how to beat Nick Saban, though.

I love how he says that they inherited "a lot" and only caused it "in some cases." 17 of the 21 happened while he was there. Only four were not caused by either he or his staff... And Nix was implicated in some of that and is still on staff.

Hugh is one hell of a bullshiter. Most in the media have woken up to it, but there are still a few kissing his feet.

 

[Chesusdog]

If he actually said that at Media Days dude is digging his own grave in his case against Nutt.

"Integrity is not always doing the right thing"-Hugh Freeze

The Unified Cult of Oxford is responding in the comments section. I marvel every time I see them take up arms and defend this mess.

 

[gptdawg]

Can somebody give an example of when integrity is not doing the right thing?

 

[KeyserSoze1999]

Great article.

Is anyone else noticing the absence of Papa Manning from Coach Freeze's side recently? At the beginning of this thing Papa Archie Manning was publicly standing beside Freeze and singing hymns of praise for Reverend Freezus. But now it's like he has gone away on vacation with President Obama to Indonesia, leaving Chicago and Oxford to crumble.

I think in Hugh's case, integrity means not doing the right thing when you don't get caught not doing the right thing. Then when you get caught, you own it, and move on. That would be integrity not doing the right thing according to Hugh.

Yew All gotta read the comments...

Here's what your "hit piece" missed: Not a single allegation from the NCAA lists any violations on any classes, especially the huge classes signed by Freeze. That's your lack of investigation but you list it anywhat as a "factoid". Here's another glowing error: The Tunsil statement on draft night was explaned and accepted by the NCAA. So, again, you're a "fake journalist" chasing after a fire your're trying to set and being too lazy to check out your own allegations. Here's something else "Mr. Fake News Guy": Wait until the lawsuits pending and still yet to be filed against Leo and others (many unnamed pending sworn depositions and will be added as facts develop) bring out the truth. That'll be your huge barn burner but due to your lazy attempt at jounalism, you'll miss it and with an egg omelet on your face.
So get your "facts" right and do a little investigative jounalism rather than parroting what you hear and surmise.

what is lost in all of this ..while he blames Nutt for the academic fraud that occurred on his watch...people need to remember that after delivering Oher, Freeze was given the job of recruiting coordinator. One of his first acts was to set up the Wayne County testing center process with David Saunders when they were trying to get Jerrell Powe eligible in 2006...so it's a bit disingenuous for him to blame Nutt for something that was set in motion by Hugh himself.

"Integrity means not always doing the right thing"-Hugh Freeze

Damnedest quote ever. Son of a ***** wants to go to hell.

 

[MaroonNation]

This will be the new "mistakes were made"...

 

[Perpetual Underachiever]

These comments are highly entertaining. Here's a few more highlights:

Nice "journalism". Write a piece designed to promote as-yet-unproven allegations and a legal "claim" (also not even close to being proven) as absolute truth. Throw in a few adjectives. Voila! A hit piece is born. Oh, and make sure not to point out that most of the allegations by Leo Lewis have already been proven to be fabrications. That'll help.

You can take your article and stick it!! Hugh Freeze is a Christian in a country that has lost its Christian identity!! I say you are one of them! Ole Miss mistake was not fighting this from the start! Hopefully Hugh Freeze will be at Ole Miss for years to come. This is the standard crap in the SEC when small colleges beat big money college like ALabama, LSU, Alburn, TN. Something has to be wrong little schools can't beat big schools like us unless they are cheating! BS, while the Big colleges get away with all kinds of recruiting valuations.. Get on your Soap Box somewhere else and Shut your lying PIE HOLE....

That is where this smear campaign came in, to try to make this seem incredibly worse than what it is. The difference between OM, Louisville , and Baylor is not even close, yet you would not know that from what you hear in the news

...Clearly, you didn't check facts before writing this. It's embarrassing that a company will allow this to be published. Where is your editor? Anyone can make an allegation, whether in private, the court of public opinion or even in a court of law. The problem is the truth only actually comes out in the latter. Shame on you Mr. Hayes! I pray you are not teaching your children these irresponsible tactics.

If it is OK for everyone to have an openion? I think Houston Nutt was the poorest choice OM ever made. When you take a reject from ARK what do you expect. Freeze is like Trump . No matter how much good he does some will be after him. Hang in there coach. You know right from wrong. A good man helping make good men out of his players.

Telling someone to take their article and "stick it" and then referencing the lost Christian identity of the US is pretty fantastic.

 

[drt7891]

Until the local "OM Media" stops running with the smear campaign BS, the less of this we would see. Part of me wants to laugh, but the other side of me is really saddened to think a $4MM/year football coach is not being held accountable by anyone in Oxford or NE MS.

 

[HammerOfTheDogs]

Ole Miss football is beginning to resemble Hitler's Bunker

All we need now is for Freeze to tell everybody to leave the room except for Bjork, Luke, Farrar, and Krebs.

 

[Chesusdog]

And people wonder why tools like Yancy stay in business... There are a large number of mentally deficient people and they eat his ******** up. I know we have our own. They're everywhere.

It's funny how

this whole OM mess can take the (normally) most rational OM person, and turn them into the most bumbling, idiotic, irrational person.

A coworker (OM fan) of mine is 99.9999% a fairly sharp dude. However, you bring up this mess and he turns into a complete imbecile. It's amazing.

 

[dawgstudent]

I play in a fantasy football league with some high school buds and ho went to Ole Miss. this years draft should be interesting

Start the draft with Antonio Brown, Ezekiel Elliott and Leveon Bell already on your roster and claim its was God's favor and see how that goes over.

 

[DoctorDawg]

Freeze has tapped into a different group of people than the average Ole Miss fan. With him being invited to speak at church groups and preach behind a pulpit, he has reached people who think that he is righteous because of the platform given to him. If it comes from the pulpit, it has to be true. Combine that with the superiority delusion that the fans have, and that gives you the crazy excuses we keep hearing.

[patdog]

He doesn't even have integrity by his own warped definition.

With no particular party in mind, kinda resembles politics, dont it?

 

[Shmuley]

Maybe I travel in a totally different world, but the shitheads I'm forced to interact with are totally resigned to their fate; to a man they acknowledge that they are 17d. To a man they acknowledge that Freeze is a total fraud. To a man they acknowledge that he is responsible for their situation. To a man they think Freeze's holy roller persona is embarrassing; that he has no platform outside of the realm of the idiot. To a man they admit that he has to go. Again, maybe I exist in an alternate universe.

 

[patdog]

You and I have 2 very different sets of friends. Most of mine realize they're in real trouble, but think they're being unfairly persecuted. They're more mad at Freeze for losing the Egg Bowl than for damn near destroying their program.

 

[thatsbaseball]

There has got to be more people out there like you're talking about. I don't think they can do anything about the guy because he knows too much. Perhaps when the COI makes it official ??? but they're still going to have to handle him with kid gloves. He could bring everybody from saint Archie on down in to this if he chose to do so. Anyone who uses religion as diabolically as he does is capable of causing a lot of grief.

 

[patdog]

There ain't much worse he could do to them than he's already done. At some point, the NCAA's going to say we can't realistically punish a program any worse without giving them the death penalty. I think they're at least close to that point now & I think the death penalty is off the table.

If he decided to go scorched earth and tell the NCAA (with proof) he was just doing what he was hired to do....that would be a game changer for the school. As far as Bucky, he's already done. IMO

It's referred to as Constantinian Christianity, which is primarily what we have in the United States. When Constantine made Christianity the official religion of Rome it created a problem. If the government is Christian, then surely the leaders of that government are both governmental and religious leaders. The problem is, as we see with our Presidency, the person in charge of the government is not necessarily a decent Christian. Freeze knew he could play this up and get a devoted fan base and he played it well. Ole Miss fans NEED him to be a good Christian to fit into the narrative they have built so they warp both his characteristics and their faith to turn him into the religious leader they need him to be. It is a bastardization of Christianity that happens all the time. They won't let off this until the downfall when they will completely turn on him. It will be fun to watch.
