In fact, I would say that your constant level of disparagement of the University, the football program and the strides taken during his tenure is only exceeded by the lofty evaluation of your own opinion. I have had acquaintances in high school and college gym classes who shared the same trait, only to find that it was a defense mechanism to make up for other shortcomings only to be revealed in the showers. The "chubby, dorky kid" you referred to, whether it be academics or the athletic programs, both have made strides unimaginable just a few short years ago and this is in large part, because of the people God has chosen to send here. Including an incredibly gifted Athletic Director and Coaches.To the SEC fan base Hugh Freeze is a punchline. He did good here, could have been fantastic if not for the late season collapses he seemed to make his trademark. I fully expect chadwell to build on what is already here and improve even more. I expect freeze to last 3 years at Auburn before Auburn runs him out because Auburn is Auburn and will never be LSU, Alabama or Georgia even though they think they are
I found Coach Freeze to be quite engaging and acutely aware of the balance required given the unique mission of this University, all while putting a product on the field that advanced light years in four short years. Get serious gentlemen, from losing to Presbyterian to beating Arkansas on their homecoming, that does not happen without total commitment to recruiting, to development, to coaching and a total buying in by players, coaches and the administration. I was particularly impressed when the media put a microphone in front of any player or coach, they were great ambassadors for LU (you might try being one as well). Despite his last few weeks of awkwardness, in large part brought on because of a flawed NCAA timetable, HCHF never displayed to me any sort of the aloofness that you constantly refer to. If he was a "used car salesman", I'm buying from him anytime.
From what I can tell, Coach Chadwell looks to be a great hire and I'm behind him 100%. I hope that he will be fortunate enough to "keep us afloat" for a long time.
Maybe some of you could be positive and buy some of that "snake oil". You might enjoy the ride.
