Hugh Freeze Named New Ole Miss Football Coach
Freeze had a few words to say of his own:
@HughFreeze_ASU To the players at Arkansas State. I LOVE EACH and EVERYONE of you. I'm sorry, i truly am. I hope that in time you will forgive me.
Freeze has shot through the ranks, coaching at a Tennessee high school (where one of his players, Michael Oher, went on to fame and fortune) and at NAIA Lambuth, with a stop as an Ole Miss assistant along the way. His points-scoring acumen is well-regarded, but obvious questions remain about his ability to win at a level as high as the SEC.
