True, but at least he isn't coaching against us anywhere.

Freeze and Caddy (and others) have been traveling non-stop on the recruiting trail for a few days now, and I imagine they're exhausted. But I sure am anxious to hear the OC and DC hires. And confirmation of the WR Heard hire. He's a good one.

Yeah, me too. I thought the WR coach Heard was announced.

OK J, you may be right. In the mean time, let's fish sometime.

I can't refute your stance, and probably wouldn't if I thought I could. The man has made very bad mistakes, and may be a total snake oil salesman for all I know. But he's our coach now, and I want to give him the benefit of the doubt, until and unless he shows that he doesn't deserve it. I can be gullible at times...

I'm out of likes tonight, so I'll just say "Hell yes".

A few years from now, Freeze will have proven himself a changed man and a great football coach for AU. I made mistakes when I was young too. More than I'd like to admit. I'm glad I changed, and that I'm not still being judged for my former bad behavior.

I don't think I'm selling him short. He did a good job. But his elevation in title was ceremonial. A pat on the back for a job well done in an interim role. A very big "thank you". And also sort of "throwing a bone" to the misguided people who thought Caddy was ready for a HC job at AU.

Prolly not much. A title, a figure head. Guess he would take over if Hugh gets tossed from a game. But it's good that AU and Freeze honored him with the title change.

Welcome Coach Hugh Freeze! And glad Caddy is still there.

OK, I'm not trying to villify you. It's an emotional time and we're all trying to adjust. Above all, WDE. Happy Holidays to you and your family.

Welcome HC Hugh Freeze!!! There are plenty of us who won't judge your past. You deserve another chance, and hope you will give it the credence it deserves. Nick Saban begged the SEC to allow him to hire Freeze, but the SEC wouldn't allow it at that time. Welcome CHF!!!

That will run its course and be over in a couple weeks. Like a bad case of diarrhea running its course through a big family.

But aren't you glad you don't have to wear sweater vests anymore?

No one ever had a complaint about Gus the man. He's a great guy.

I wonder when the Freeze press conference will be held. And I wonder how long it will take him to announce OC and DC. Now for the important question: Gus Bus, Lane Train, Arson Harsin......Freeze Breeze? No, probably not. But what will it be?

I think the backlash will be less severe than anticipated and will be over quickly. Especially if we get a good haul in the portal and recruiting jumps to top 10.

I'm fine with hiring Freeze. I think that as far as coaching goes, he is better than just about anyone mentioned in our coaching search.

Yahoo Sports is reporting that AU and Freeze are finalizing negotiations as we speak.

I would like to see the moderators make a sticky post closed to replies that lays out the FACTS of what Freeze was guilty of. Because I'm not sure, and there are too many conflicting opinions on this web site.

I sorta feel like I felt in the waiting room when my grandchildren were taking way too long to be born. Sorta.

OK, I guess I'm impatient. I am. Just anxiously commenting...

If this hire is a completely (yet) nobody, they won't last until the PTB (Rane) grows weary of a non-existent natty within two years. I'm very afraid we are teetering on the edge of another Harsin-type hire. Very afraid. Actually, terrified.

He's too old. And he doesn't have Drew Brees at AU.

This is all making me very sick at my stomach. We had the most attractive head coaching job open this year, by far. And it seems we can't get a "splash hire" coach interested.
