SOURCES: Coaching rumors Part V

[Gator Jon]

So just to recap the previous 2,569 posts.... Ox's 35th "Good Source" says it is going to be Hugh Freeze???

Well hell that's good enough for me. I'm calling Vegas.

One interesting game: CSU beat Boston College by 3 on the road.
FSU beat Boston College by 3 at HOME.

Both gyuys have done great things at their schools. I would be glad to have either as they would be an upgrade to what we had in WM. I just get the feeling with Freeze that he sniffs a championship and ****'s the bed. Not sure if he gets over that hump. Is it a talent thing? Coaching? Inexperience as a HC? I don't know. It's just a gut feeling I have. Perhaps my doctor can diagnose it as what I am sure to be Muschampitis.

Playing and winning in the SEC in Mississippi does not equal playing cupcakes each week and losing to Air Force.

So obvious it hurts.

This guy actually HAS coached in the SEC and frankly his offense put everyone involved to sleep. I don't really care what video game stats he's produced in a laughable league in which everyone puts up video game stats.

The only one excited about this offense will be future kickers.

If Freeze wants the job it's his. Simple as that. McElwain is a fallback option.

He's a terrible fallback option. Embarrassing.

You'll understand why we panic. We just endured a year of Daz as acting HC followed by 4 years of a dwag who had one winning SEC season... yet still somehow got extended twice and an extra year after he got blown out at home on homecoming and lost to Georgia Southern.

It's entirely possible that our AD will fvkk this one up just as badly as all his others.

Law, from what I've always been told Freeze is expected to take our offer. No doubt they gauged his interest beforehand. That doesn't mean he couldn't change his mind though.

How about some of these stats. CSU is 7th in the nation in passing offense, 3rd in passing efficiency, and 13th in total offense.

Yup. Sounds like some putrid, boring offense...Remind me again how his offense faired against the Mighty Gators in 2009, 2010, and 2011?

I for one, wasn't bored at all when I was screaming at the television while the Tide was moving up and down the field against our defense.

Damage control.

@GatorZoneFB: Statement from UAA: We will have no comment on the recent multiple reports other than to say that we have made no job offers to anyone and reports claiming that are false. #Gators

it is shockingly bad. I'll be honest, I was on the fence about Freeze. But at least we know he can win big games. I can see him, with our talent upgrade, leading us to division titles quickly. I dont think he will struggle with KY, Vandy, and USC. This other dude, I'm just not into at all. One guy stepped up this weekend and won a big game to a highly ranked rival; the other guy just lost to Air Force. Quite frankly if you look at Air Force's schedule they are 9-3 and have better wins in their conference; they beat Boise State and CSU. Their 9-3> than CSU's 10-2. Not impressive at all.

Wow...you are REALLY hung up on that Air Force game. Yeah that sucks but it's one game. What IS impressive is that he took a team that went 3-8 for THREE years in a row before he arrived and has them at 10-2 three years later. That's a hell of a turn around, don't you think? How can you ignore that and just continue to scream AIR FORCE at the top of your lungs? 3-8 for three years before he arrived. After he arrived 4-8, 8-4, 10-2.

Last week everyone was bitching that Freeze was shut out against Arky...he was over rated...blah, blah, blah and just as I predicted, if he beat Miss State all that talk would stop. Now everyone's all in on Freeze.

I prefer Freeze too, but this guy is not last resort, Zookish fall back. He's actually accomplished as a OC in the SEC and has completely turned around a sh!t program as a HC.

So who is our new HC today?

Interesting comment from Dooley.

@pat_dooley: The circus has been in town for about a week. That's what Foley wanted to avoid but knew was inevitable. Back channel convos get leaked.

 

[biggator6]

Immaculate conception?

Touche!

 

[MidwestChomp]

Who does we constitute? They have some good lawyers on their media staff.

Now I'm convinced freeze and mclwain are smokescreens
