Take that for what it’s worth. Freeze is the first choice it sounds like.
ESPN is saying Napier and Freeze are the two leading candidates
- Thread starter robertfootball
- Start date
Signed an extension with Liberty for 3 mil a year. Double it and get him here ASAP!
Shocked they could give him that much.
Not vouching for anything character related, but Falwell Jr’s decision (years ago) to go all in for online learning has turned Liberty in to a cash cow. Brilliant financial move. They have plenty of cash.
Right. We need to focus right now on the 5th or 6th choice. After all Ray is the AD and that’s how he does it.
I heard Dablo just f@rted don’t you want to be there to sniff it?
They just extended his contract a few days ago. They were smart, knowing Freeze was going to be highly sought after at the end of the season.
Make Freeze an offer he can’t refuse.
I bet UT fires Pruitt tomorrow, and leaves Tanner holding his jock strap.
They're only saying it because they know which way the wind is blowing around here.
Liberty is private so I have no idea of the buyout unless someone leaks it...but I make Freeze tell me no before I offer anyone else.
I think we HAVE TO! There is no one else available or that would take the job here! Make Freeze happen!
Like the Tom Herman fiasco? Hope not but I guess we will see.
Don't think we could go wrong with either 2.
Freeze: Offensive guru. Been a big winner everywhere he has been.. He has proven he can take lesser talent and beat teas more talented than his. He owned his rival (Miss. State) while at Ole Miss.His offense at Liberty is 18th in the nation and balanced, 12th in rushing and 16th in passing efficiency. His defense is good, as well. It is 14th in the nation, including 38th in rushing defense and 33rd in Team Passing Defense Efficiency. His team is BALANCED all the way around. He is just a tad older than I'd prefer at 51. But, hell, our best basketball coach ever (Frank McGuire was hied at 50
Napier: He has taken mid-major talent and beaten a Power 5 school (Iowa State, 23rd in the nation). He is offensive-minded and is considered a relentless recruiter. His offense is 41st in Total Offense and 41st in Total Defense. Thus, his team is good on both sides of the ball. He is young at 41.
I don't believe we could go wrong with either. And I also like Caldwell at Coastal Carolina

Not the sexy choice, but right now I'm thinking Shane Beamer. He could really be the CEO we need. Not sure who he would use as coordinators, but he was an amazing recruiter here. In my opinion when he left here, that triggered our downfall. Spurrier Jr took over recruiting if I'm remembering correctly.
In my opinion, hiring Freeze would be like hiring Steve Spurrier in his prime. But, again, I'd be VERY happy with any of the 3: Freeze, Napier and Caldwell.
I’m fine with Freeze or Napier. My wildcard is Fickle from Cincinnati.
Isn't Fickle a defense-oriented coach? He is doing great at UC. But, offense is the name of the game these days. Besides, I suspect he is headed for the Big 10.
NNOOOoooooo! Not Again!
This time its Life belo Zero...Its the Freeze!
I have liked Josh Heupel for a long time. I'd be VERY happy with that hire, too.
I understand your sentiment. But, we all make mistakes. I don't believe there's any doubt, though, that he can COACH on game day.
