Only reason Fulmer hired Pruitt was to take him away from Alabama. He was a good assistant coach, but not Head Coach material.

Hopefully these don't turn to Urban Meyer heart flutters.

Is Tennessee really that great of a job anymore?

No! It hasn't for years.

Interim HC Kevin Steele at Auburn did an excellent job holding AU's recruiting class together. Some sources think he'll get the job.

Bama has had some lean times

BAMA has been "bad" for most of my life. Ballcoach is a bit older, so he remembers the days of Bear. I know these days wont last, so I am soaking them up while I can. Perhaps Liberty can rise when BAMA's time sets.

Cool stuff, if that means Hugh stays.

Doesn't matter if it's what you've dreamt of since you were a kid. You think you're the guy who can make it a landing spot again.

Not like childhood dreams could just be that,especially if one has an opportunity in which they will be respected or legendary not only as a coach but a man. Realism kicks in a bit especially when a program will spit you out if you don't give them what they want(along with most of SEC/other P5's). Sounds like true love and respect right?

Listening to Frank Frangie on his espn radio show down here in Jacksonville. He also comentates jaguar games. He is basically confirming what many of you said. Freeze has told those close that TN is the job he thinks he could win and excell at, not Auburn.

UT fans want Freeze more than anything right now. Anyone notice the tweet that freeze did that said "Choose Joy My Friend"?

If, if all of this is true then his loose lips have set himself up intentionally. That would also explain the hard push by Vols fans.
If that turns out to happen then anything he has said up until this point about LU I will wash away as BS and will loose much respect. Now, if goes elsewhere than Vol country is another thing.

[jinxy]

Very good post. Agree with most every word of that.

[ballcoach15]

I think everyone should wait until Coach Freeze leaves LU, before harping on another job for him. This exit talk has been ongoing since probably since Day 1.
Let him coach LU. If he goes to SEC, he goes. If he stays, he stays.

Why? He has said he loves it here and it would take something very special for him to leave. He's essentially turned down two SEC jobs at this point. If there's one job in the country he'd leave for and they offer him, I can't fault him at all and I won't think anything less of what he's said so far about Liberty.

If the story is true that Vol country is the set up then he has been angling all along for that job. Yes, it matters.

[Jonathan Carone]

Why?

[CCWMichael]

Well, if you like used car salesmen.....

[Jonathan Carone]

In what way has he been anything but genuine? How bad he acted like a used car salesman?

[flameshaw]

UT is pretty much an afterthought in the SEC now. Do I think he could make it better........... certainly. But it isn't near the job it used to be. Kinda like NC State in the ACC or UCLA in the PAC12.

[Risewithus]

I'm out of the loop up there so if this has been asked, sorry. Are we leaning staying independent or any recent chatter of conference affiliation.

The wheels come off the bus....
See original thread responded to.
IF those rumors are true whether put out by him or his agent or otherwise it is a game.
If not, all is copacetic.

[chris leedlelee]

The Tennessee job isn't even open yet, with Pruitt being around for at least one more year, and yet some people on this board choose to self-flagellate about Hugh Freeze leaving in the future. Sure he might not be here forever, but let the rest of us enjoy the time while he is here.

It's been known for years - way before he came to Liberty - that Tennessee is his dream job. People are talking about it now because Jeremy Pruitt has been terrible and Hugh was up for another SEC job. Tennessee fans were pushing for Hugh way before Auburn fired Guz Malzahn.

I think it's a giant compliment to Liberty that he's essentially saying it'll take his dream job coming open for him to leave here.
