💬 Interesting sentence from RedCupRebellion on Freeze and the bowl game from last season.

[TerryP]

And it makes me wonder how it reads to others.

7. Hugh Freeze hit his ceiling. Probably the 2014 and 2015 seasons were the best he could muster. Who knows what could have been in 2016. A 5-7 record speaks for itself, to say nothing of missing a bowl due to APR deficiency. He lost bad to Dan Mullen’s Mississippi State in perhaps the country’s most niche, strident college football rivalry. He dialed up Jason Pellerin in the red zone. He watched Chad Kelly shred his knee against Georgia Southern. He destroyed Georgia and lost to Florida. He burned Shea Patterson’s redshirt in order to wildly beat Texas A&M in College Station. He lost out after that, then lost his job.
​

Self imposed bowl ban when on one hand they were 5-7 and on the other hand they wouldn't have qualified anyway due to their APR scores?

Not long for this world, Hugh Freeze dared too much - Red Cup Rebellion

That's to the Ole Miss fan site found in the SBNation network. There's a few takes on Freeze and Nutt here that caught my eye--some left me scratching my head. As example,

9. Hugh Freeze brought Ole Miss back from the edge. Eli was long gone. The near impossible fell apart in 2003 when he tripped over his guard and spoiled a trip to Atlanta. David Cutcliffe was let go soon thereafter and Hootie Dale’s circus tent set up shop in the Grove to follow. Nutt’s tenure — if that’s really the word — was shit. He failed to beat an in-conference opponent in 2011 and was rightfully run out of town for his troubles. He didn’t hold any grudges, though — no, not at all — at least not any grudges that would snipe down his successor 10 years after the fact. What an embarrassment.​

Which part? Whom? Is he calling Nutt an embarrassment?

The stupidity of it all rest with the OM boosters, AD and staff and the ridiculous firing of Cuttcliff. They had what they needed, an offensive guru that could do more with less. Likable, steady, integrity, loyalty, a decent recruiter for the product he was selling. Two universities blew the Cuttcliff hire and both had enough history to know better. Tennessee wouldn't give Cutt total control and the black bears couldn't stand prosperity when they had it. It's not always the coaches fault.
