A lot of high major schools would love to have Ritchie or Dot and Schnellengberger is very highly respected. Carey´s time for that has probably passed and Tolsma is here for life.

Left out our Field Hockey coach Nikki Parsley-Blocker, who is still in her 20s and one of the best young coaches in the sport.

Perhaps we're all wrong in assuming that if he gets back into the SEC it requires him to leave LU... :lol:

Yes, when Coach McKay left to go to UVa. Study Play Basketball
UVA didnt poach Ritchie. Tony Bennett poached Ritchie.

I think the first indication on how long Freeze stays will be when Auburn comes calling next year. They are only offering OC job as a one year contract. Hand writing is on the wall down there and they want to beat bama bad.

Let’s stay on the crazy train. Gus Malzahn will be LU’s OC for the 2020 season 8) :lol:

Aside from the obvious, it´s crazy because Freeze doesn´t need or want another ¨creative¨ guy to be OC. He needs a facilititator to implement his scheme on the field. Defense is the side of the ball where he would be willing to defer to someone else.

You just started dating the super hot girl. Enjoy the ride. You can’t be worrying about when/if she is going to leave you. Especially now.
She said yes. Do everything you can to keep her. If she leaves, enjoy the time you have with her.

Just be thankful that she wanted to date the rich new guy, who had a house in the mountains--that also came with a pool.

Seriously, toss the morality debate aside, one thing is fact, he's got major NCAA bagage. Another fact, those involved in any way with higher education despise anything to do with Christianity. Add in who your AD is and if you think the NCAA hasn't got LU in their crosshairs, you're naive.

Awesome hire if Freeze doesn't turn into the Jimmy Swaggart of college football, and I know LU doesn't have the bag men hanging around that Old tick does.
A lot of the bag men involved in the Ole Miss mess were within the football program.

I can agree with that.

As for Freeze leaving, I wish people would stop talking about it. Just hop on the Hugh Freeze wagon and ride it. regardless of how long he's here. Don't even think about him leaving.

I hope he’s icing his shoulder. At his age rotator cuff damage is a real concern
