Freeze was a horrific choice. Absolutely the wrong man at the wrong time. His pedigree is fraudulent. Scarbinsky pointed out the painful truth in a sickening post yesterday. Freeze has never been a great coach.
What we have is a stupid former Mississippi State administrator enamored of the numbing mediocrity to which State could never aspire that he saw at Ole Miss. And HAY! This here guy beat Nick Saban TWICE!! That's gotta be worth something. It's not.
Everything is screwed up right now. The MSU administrator is giving us MSU results. Freeze's stupidity needs to persist until the State clowns are gone at least. If not, that softshell moron will probably hire Sylvester Croom.
I've seen nothing that gives me any hope whatsoever that Freeze has the wherewithal to fix the issues that plague this team. He is, to me, clearly in over his head. Clock management issues, baffling gameplans, horrendous roster management, zero player development (seriously, name one single offensive player who's improved in the past two years), constant confusion, nothing but excuses and no idea or plan on how to change anything for the better. His "plan" is to get talent -- NOT to coach what is there, NOT to get the best out of the players we have, NOT to put them in the best position to win. No, just talent, talent alone. That. Is. Not. Going. To. Work. In. This. New. Reality. It was stupid when he started with it and it's stupid now.
I hope I'm wrong, but I expect a furious migration when the portal opens. A migration that will rival a random Daphne pond when the geese come south. Massive honking and lots of splattering turds as they flee with fury.
Maybe if I saw some improvement, some consistency, some small scintilla of evidence that Freeze had the confidence and ability to lead it's going to take... maybe.... But he's worse than I ever dreamed (and I LOATHED the hire).
Hairplug aside? He's BY FAR the worst Auburn coach of my lifetime and I go back to Shug, brother. But we can't get rid of him because Fruity McBulldog would just make an even worse hire (if that's possible).
