A Sea Of Red

Is there more info about Freeze that we (well just me I guess) don't know of? Also, why would you say that? I want to know your reason, not criticizing it.

LU loves the redemption story and that is how they would sell it if they do hire him.

I don't think they will hire him but nothing will surprise me at this point.

Lookit. You have plenty of time to get used to the idea of Coach Freeze. He checks every single box that would need to be checked for an LU coach to replace HCTG. Bringing him back this year makes so much more sense now.

Purple, good observation.

Look who seems to have finally jumped clear of the Briles bandwagon.

He has never been on that bandwagon. Briles is a red herring. His statement is clear if you're listening.

I thought Briles was a shoe in but it didn’t happen this year so I think that ship has sailed.

Seeing how this Freeze thing is working out is writing on the wall not seen this clearly since Belshazzar

#Freeze2018 (that’s when he’d be hired).

Sarcasm doesn't always have clarity on a board. As they used to say in Appalachia as a kid, I was just funnin' him.

Freeze is interviewed on LU's Game On sports TV show:

Could a hypothetical Liberty HC Freeze be welcomed into the homes of the kinds of student athletes(Faith and Character) that Liberty would want to target? The off season is long my friends.

Absolutely. Everyone loves a story of redemption

Link below mentions the Freeze's appearence at LU and goes on to site reports that Freeze discussed the OC position at Bama with Saban.

IF we were to hire freeze, that’d be a best case scenario in a year or two. Has his redemption hire as an OC somewhere big like SEC school and maybe hire him after that.

Honestly, the redemption story I would like most is for Turner Gill to show some passion and emotion and turn this thing around. The best redemption story is for a legend as a player and a relative failure as a coach on the big stage (relative because who can really win at Kansas?!) to get back on top taking a school few had even heard of in the football world to success at the highest level and do it with integrity and class!
That would be a movie script redemption story. I want TG to succeed. Does he have it in him? I don't know.

I like TG the man, but hopes and dreams doesn't pay the bills. I would love to see that story, but eventually you have to make the decision with the results that have been produced.

I would love to see it as well.
Unfortunately, the answer to the "who can really win at Kansas" question is Mark Mangino. Apparently abusing your players is the secret formula.

I believe He has to show Ian and Jerry something THIS YEAR that will convince them he can get the job done at the FBS level. I think he really shot himself in the foot regarding his chances for that when he passed by the chance to hire a DC with the additional assistant position the NCAA permitted teams to add. He could have upgraded and kept Wimbo as an assistant but made the lame move to promote a QC guy instead He is loyal to his guys, but it's misguided. They all suffer if he does not have the best staff possible, and especially in leadership positions.

Exactly, that move was by far the most disappointing move this offseason imo. I like TG but I just don’t know how he is going to improve at the FBS level.

I could use a bit of guidance here. I have read Jr. played a large part in this recruiting class. If so, what does that indicate about the confidence in the Gman? Or, has Jr. always been involved in the process?

I am in high hopes the coaching staff will correct many of the technically errors from last year and we will win well.
On that, please press the corners to the receivers and quit giving up easy pass plays .. make em work for it!
