MaxCohen216 514 Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 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.

Zinzan 123 Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Yeah, ya'll have made most of the relevant points. Stupid of Freeze to get baited into this, but less a violation than a lot of people want to make this out to be. In the end, she blocked him and that should probably have been the end of it, but she won't let it die. She made it public and trots it out now in an attempt to harm his career. What does she want from him at this point? Nothing--she just wants the attention, and she wants this to follow him forever. She complains that Auburn didn't reach out to her--what could she tell them that she hasn't already told the world? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potatooooooes!! 1,375 Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Man, what a terrible man with zero integrity or character. A true predator even...she said there were "multiple" dms. Is that really all of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him saying "I don't understand that mentality" leads me to believe he generally doesn't understand her mindset, but what do I know. 🤷♂️ But when the highest profile and highest paid person at your alma mater asks you (a recent female grad in their early 20s) to explain themselves after they’ve chosen not to respond to previous messages, that’s intimidating by design. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People here can rationalize it however they want, that he reached out all is the height of dumb. That he tried again, even worse. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfathomable that he thought as Head Football Coach of Liberty University that he should hit send on that DM. Stupid decision that hopefully he understands was wrong. The kind of decision normally made by teenagers. With that being said, he wasn't disrespectful or bullying. You could tell he seemed to genuinely want to reach out and understand her mindset. He has to understand that while his heart may have been in the right place (protecting his friend and football program), you CANNOT get involved in a legal matter. The legal aspect had already been over for years at the time of the DM. She was also no longer a student, and he may well not have even known she was one of the 12 plaintiffs in a case that didn't hold water. All he had was that she was attacking the University and a guy he considered his friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to defend a head coach admittedly “badgering” a sexual assault litigant as not intimidating, don’t go into HR. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first was poor judgment. The second was far worse and after the person clearly chose not to engage. Not really. Many people are sincere in trying to understand others. Those people usually go about it in a way that is different than most of us. Sometimes they help the issue and sometimes they don’t. However it’s not anywhere as egregious as the haters want us to believe. Moving on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I showed him my laminated wallet diploma (do we still give those out at graduation?) and basically told him to go f himself. I'd have told CPD or the Dean of Engineering the same thing after I had the diploma. Nothing intimidating about it. She had her diploma already. She needs to move on and get attention for something positive in life. Edited November 29, 2022 by TigerHorn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See my post above. She was openly and regularly baiting the university and its administrators. She's an attention junkie, and if you read the actual complaint made by the 12 plaintiffs in her case, it's a pretty darn vague and general complaint about "environment". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should not have done it, but come on people. Some people are starting with a faulty assumption and searching for and twisting evidence to corroborate it. its not the only thing. he has a long historic pattern of, how should i put this.....lapses in judgement. going all the way back to his high school stint. but this particular thing is not a big deal in a vacuum.

Seems a little petty you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
