Apparently he also made a joke about wanting to win ACC championships at LUHe may have been joking, but I would still consider that a good sign. The possibility is in his head.

And I don't think he was joking. Ballcoach was there, too.
And I will say this about Coach Freeze's presentation. I was expecting him to talk about his big Cure Bowl win, but that never came up. Instead, he talked about his love for his family, his relationaship with Jesus, and his team's core values, whch begin with with FAITH and spell FAMILY.

Having the coaches speak to the faculty was a GENIUS idea, because all four of them are motivators and accomplished pubic speakers. I thought Coach Dot woud be my favorite, and she was by far the most academic with her detailed PowerPoint slides, but Coach Freeze won me over with his sincerity and humility. Jerry, Sr. would have loved Coach Freeze, because he speaks like a Southern Baptist preacher!

Even the Faculty needs to be "coached up".

So again, why were you there?
