Hugh Freeze hired as "Ole Miss Coach"!

Anonymous said...

A receptionist has inadvertently released Archie's medical file. It clearly shows that Archie has severe vision and hearing problems. He thought he was hiring Drew Brees when he offered the job to Hugh Freeze. Too late, the job offer had already been signed. Archie, ever the joker, was heard to say, 'Solly Cholly, Go Dawgs'.

Poor Archie. Bless his heart. He's about the best Ole Miss had to find another coach, but it didn't matter. First, it was that list of coaches OM would not hire. Then there was the coaches and their agents who would not even take his calls, because they didn't want to have to tell him there was no interest in the job. Hugh Freeze was way down the long list. Today he's the new head coach. Poor Archie.

Until they clear out Boone and Jones dysfunction will remain the modus. It is going to take a sea change. Freeze is litte more than a new rubber ducky.

Two coaches in the news lately. They both had different coordinator jobs here and there until they finally got a chance to be a head coach at a small rural university. They turned the programs from losers to winners in one season and both got quick opportunities to coach at mid-level FBS schools. One is Hugh Freeze and the other one is Urban Meyer. Wonder if the same things were being said about him?

Urban Meyer walked into a gimme-job at a fabulous university with tons of history. Freeze, not so much.

It has already begun. We are not even 24 hours into Hugh Freeze's career as the head coach at Ole Miss, and he is already being compared to a two time BCSNC coach. When you think you have heard and see it all, there's always more arrogance to come. Win two games next fall, and they will be making reservations for the SECC game. I really pity Freeze. He has his hands full dealing with the good ole boys in Oxford.

Key to watch is how much money do they give him to hire a staff.

Coach Myer earned the opportunity with stops at B&G and Utah.
The Florida AD made another good hire with him after the basketball coach.

Why no Ron Paul option on the presidential poll? He is polling at towards the top of the pack in Iowa, and not too shabby in the Nationwide polls. He definitely has a better shot than huntsman or santorum.

I agree with the selection of Croom to follow Boone. Excellent choice.

Anderson said...

Considering what a huge effort Ole Miss has put into making this job utterly unpalatable to any sane person, I think this Freeze guy is better than they had any right to expect.

Some are said to be complaining about his lack of SEC experience. Uh, SEC experience is what teaches people not to work for Ole Miss.

Anyway, wishing him the best, except for the best recruits, who I hope go to Miss. State.

6:13, Meyer went from Bowling Green (Freeze's ASU) to Utah (Freeze's Ole Miss) so the comparison is accurate. Meyer didn't go to Florida until he had a successful run at Utah. If Freeze has a successful run at Ole Miss then he'll move up just like they all do.

Shadowfax said...

Freeze was a girl's high school basketball coach four years ago. So, Bill, I suppose that pushes his resume out a bit further than that of Meyer at the same point in time. Sometimes you make no sense at all when you stray.

I recall a hunch back fellow named Dan Mullen not having much of a pedigree either other than working for Urban. People need to get a life and stop living through their football coaches and teams.

There is no comparison between Jeremy Foley and Pete Boone. The number of GREAT hires by Jeremy is remarkable. And while the money matters, it is also about identifying the right person, hiring the right person AND SUPPORTING that hire in ways that have nothing to do with $$$.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease.
