For everyone that likes Freeze so much...

Oh it’s much richer than that, he made the calls from a university issued work phone. You can’t make that stuff up.
The reason people like Freeze is that he has shown the ability to take a bottom rung SEC team and build them into a competitive team. Ole Miss averaged 8 wins a year under Freeze. Freeze has only had 1 losing season his entire Head Coaching career. He then took Liberty a new FBS team and in less than 2 years has built a winner.
That's a false narrative. At Ole Miss he was 39-25. He had mostly somewhat mediocre seasons. He had 2 good seasons of 9-4 and 10-3 followed by a 5-7 season. That's hardly the standard we wish to shoot for.
Nothing I posted was false. 2011 Ole Miss was 2-10 before Freeze took over and was a bottom feeder. Freeze immediately built a winner.
2012 7-6
2013 8-5
2014 9-4
2015 10-3
2016 5-7
He then took over Liberty a new FBS team and went 8-5 his first year, now he has them at 8-0 and ranked in the Top 25.
This is exactly the standard I’d like to hav
So you aspire to a team that averages less than 8 wins a season playing in the SEC? I think most Gamecock fans hope for more than that. I sure as hell do. His work at Ole Miss is more indicative of what he would do in the SEC than what he is doing this year at a mid major school.
Yes I aspire to see SC average 8 wins a year in a 5 year stretch and win the Sugar Bowl.
No doubt he would have had more wins had Ole Miss played in the East.
Makes you wonder how they and other schools like Tulsa, Boise, etc get it right the majority of the time and we almost never do.
Perhaps, but even if he won 8 or even 9 games a year, that would never be enough to win any sort of championship - divisional or conference.
Despite limited resources? Have you seen the facilities they have? That’s part of the reason they had to go independent.. no conference they were realistically trying to join would take them... they’re annual enrollment is close to 90k per year bc of online school.. they’re swimming in cash and have the facilities, and paying Hugh Freeze 3 million a year is a testament to that.

I doubt Nick Saban would do much better here than 9 wins a season over the next 6 years. Not saying Freeze is the right guy, but an 8 or 9 win average for the next 5 years or so is very optimistic.
Didn’t we make to Atlanta with 9 wins? Then won our bowl game and got to 10? Look at who he had to coach against tho, saban and Bama, LSU, aTm, Auburn, and Dan Mullen was at miss St... it’s a wonder he’s did as good as he did. Coming to the more manageable division, he could probably do a little better. He had some studs on D when he was Ole Miss, brought in Robert Khemdiche and if he comes here, he’ll have Burch and Pickens to play around w on defense and Luke Doty can be his new Chad Kelley until Gunner Stockton gets on campus, assuming he still comes... and didn’t he recruit AJ Btrown and DK Metcalf to Ole Miss, he left Ole Miss in 2017 and they both got on campus in 2016.. we could use some of that at WR..
How long have some of you been SC fans. Spurrier averaged 7.8 wins per year. I think I can live with 8 or 9 games a year.
Seeing as how we've won one conference championship in the last 50 years 8 or 9 wins every year sounds wonderful. Plus it means a bowl game.
