Hugh Freeze- Ole Miss: Ole Miss cheats, Hugh Freeze is a cheater. But he also wins, so it'll take the NCAA for anything to happen to his seat.

Freeze is coming of a Sugar Bowl winning season, back to back wins over Bama (including beating them at home), has the support of his AD, and the most serious violations are traceable to Nutt's regime. Most of the stuff that went on with Freeze is both minor and common, so he's solid/bordering on unless the NCAA *really* slams them. One more year with wins over Bama and State and he'll be untouchable for sure.

Well this'll make Ole Miss / LSU more interesting.

They're paying loving Freeze 4m$ to finish last in the west.

He won a Sugar Bowl last year and then lost a ton of talent to the draft and graduation. A down year while rebuilding can be forgiven. Especially given all the injuries they've suffered.

I like the Coach O hire and want him to do well despite hating LSU. But then again this season may have broken me.

Is Hugh Freeze on the hot seat after their horrible season?

Not in any sensible world. Ole Miss lost a lot of talent in the off-season and lost it's best DB in the first game of the season. Their defense was young and bad and only a few good D players made it through the season intact. He's also coming off a 10 win season capped by a Sugar Bowl win. He also gets a chance to pick a new D coordinator, since the one responsible for this year's awful defense (and 2014's amazing one) is retiring. A good D coordinator and some more depth/better recruiting on D would go a REALLY long way to fixing the Rebels problems.

It's hard to believe that a team that got shithoused by State and Vandy jumped out to big leads on both Bama and FSU, but this is a team that managed to be both awful and great all at the same time. It's also a team that got worse as the year went on instead of getting better, which is the opposite of how Freeze's teams usually run.

I think disjoe nailed it - he's got at least the rest of Patterson's career to turn things around.

Ole Miss hired former Oregon OC Matt Lubick to coach WRs. That's a great pick up for Ole Miss, who just lost a stellar receivers coach.
