Freeze gone!!!

[Awwhellnaw]

Freeze won't get another P4 job.

But he's wealthy, and can now devote his time to whatever it is he does.

Shady massages? Only half joking.

 

[horshack.sixpack]

Cohen’s football hires
Moorhead
Leach
Freeze

yikes

One of those is not like the others

 

[theoriginalSALTYdog]

you guys are looking at this all wrong. He just entered the transfer portal for coaches.

 

[Hugh's Burner Phone]

I am polishing my resume. I need in on these buyouts

I'd make my buyout $2,000,000 for the job.

 

[TheDawg-Pound]

I remember when Klieman came to Starkville and made us look terrible. I thought that he was on his way up.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

But they didn't beat us? Did they?

Which now makes me think somebody might come after Lebby. It’s gonna be insane.

Going to be insane but I think it’s more likely that programs recycle just fired coaches than roll the dice on 2nd year coaches that improved enough this year to win 1 or maybe 2 conference games.
There may be too much personal history with freeze, but it’s possible freeze will be Ole Miss’s best option to replace kiffin. Be interesting to see how they’d react to that.

ETA: ole miss could hire freeze dirt cheap and let auburn mostly pay him, then take the savings and the $4M (I think) buyout for kiffin leaving and really put some money towards NIL to help freeze out.

Freeze was the biggest cheater and sleaze there was at Mississippi. Prostitutes for recruits? I’m sure those recruits moms really appreciated that.

 

[Baddog11]

If there is anything Cohen thinks he can use from Starkville at Auburn he will still come raiding whatever he wants.

[L4Dawg]

Bama would hire him in a heartbeat if they thought he could/would win a NC

No, they wouldn't. That bridge is well and truly burned.

 

[HailStout]

Me watching freeze and cohen fail

 

[tbaydog]

Interesting!

 

[Xenomorph]

Interesting!

What circumstances lead to a coach agreeing to a reduced buyout?

 

[bully12]

Cohen didn’t hire him, so I see no reason why they’d do that.

No, and he won't hire the next one either.

 

[BulldogBlitz]

What circumstances lead to a coach agreeing to a reduced buyout?

Whatever it was....they was ready to litigate.

 

[bulldognation]

Serious question: Has there ever been a time when Florida, LSU, Auburn and Arkansas had fired their head coaches mid-season in the same year?

 

[kired]

What circumstances lead to a coach agreeing to a reduced buyout?

I’d guess something to do with how it’s paid out. Maybe a smaller lump sum for him to 17 off instead of X amount for X number of months

 

[ZombieKissinger]

I wonder how much goes on now during the year in preparation for a new coach. Like, maybe it’s better to fire midyear because you can start putting together packages for all the players you want from a decent coach’s team. Wonder if the roster factors into the coach decision these days

 

[RocketDawg]

If he was fired, the he should be the buyout the contract that both parties signed should be paid. If he just "stepped down", he shouldn't get anything unless the contract called for it.

I'm not a lawyer - just a realist.

Lord no. This is the new normal in college football. The NCAA has abjectly ruined college sports in the name of staying “in charge”.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

Just how many coaches will be replaced by season's end? College football is becoming a crazier place every day,

Sr Tour candidate, just needs to polish his game.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

Tiger Droppings group is all over him.

 

[RocketDawg]

Sr Tour candidate, just needs to polish his game.

Looks like he might hit a "power fade".

 

[Crazy Cotton]

Butch Jones won on Saturday. He builds them teams brick by brick and makes them winners at life. Just sayin.

See ya!!!

The worst part of that is that cohen said that freezus has integrity.

That is 100% an AI generated statement. The multiple double-hyphens are a giveaway. Also, Freeze would have quoted scripture.

 

[FormerBully]

Do y'all remember the people at Auburn, I think a former player, preaching at people when they hired Freeze. How did that go for them.

 

[patdog]

Yes they will.

No they won’t.

 

[patdog]

What circumstances lead to a coach agreeing to a reduced buyout?

Lump sum up front & no offset of future income. It can sometimes be a good deal for both sides.

 

[patdog]

Anyone else think Auburn is about to get a reality check as to where they stand in the SEC / Big 10 pecking order? They’re not going to compete with schools like LSU, Florida & Penn St for a coach. And Kiffin to Auburn which seemed reasonable just 3 years ago would be laughable today.
