“I don’t discuss my job status, good or bad,” Freeze said. “Nothing good comes from that. My family is extremely happy in Oxford. I love working for chancellor Dan Jones and (athletic director) Ross Bjork.
Some more Monday news for Ole Miss and their head coach: athletic director Ross Bjork said there’s been “talks” about a contract extension.
Ross Bjork said there's been contract talks with Hugh Freeze and Jimmy Sexton, believes a new deal could be finished after the season.
— Hugh Kellenberger (@HKellenbergerCL) November 17, 2014 Freeze is considered a contender for the Florida job by Vegas. Bovada lists him as the eighth-likeliest candidate for the job, at 9/1 odds.
A successful high school coach in Tennessee for more than a decade, Freeze first came to Ole Miss as the tight ends coach and recruiting coordinator from 2005-07. After posting a 20-5 record in two years as the head coach of NAIA Lambuth, Freeze was hired as the offensive coordinator at Arkansas State in 2010. He was promoted to head coach before the 2011 season, posting a 10-2 record before being hired away by Ole Miss. The Rebels are 23-13 under Freeze, rising all the way to No. 3 in the polls this season.
