DEATH WISH AT 120 DECIBELS

Getting some conflicting info on this:

But there are other tweets and ESPN reporting he DID get show-caused.

But either way, Freeze is toast for a while.

Would Hugh Freeze have any utility as an NFL assistant, or is he pretty much a CEO type HC?

Yeah articles everywhere. They could be wrong but everyone is saying it's all but a formal announcement.

He has been awesome but that one long rear end article on Tomahawk nation broke down why he was such an effective turn around coach but (perhaps) why he failed at sustaining success , which is really interesting as that was among the first words out of his mouth after winning a title, "it's now about how do we sustaining the level of success". Paraphrasing there.

Not adapting to new challenges and feedback, not making adjustments to staff and schemes, these are his problems according to that source.

Good coaches are hard to come by but it's clear when you have this season's talent and this season's record, one that could eclipse the nadir of the last Jeff Bowden OC crap year, that something is wrong. Blackmon is young but man we've had some lousy QBs come through and produce 9 or 10 wins easily. For a school that has had 2 coaches as long as I've known it, it's weird but it appears there's no way back now with Jimbo.

This is what ESPN.com has:

Must vacate all regular-season and postseason wins in which ineligible student-athletes competed.

So if we knew the ineligible players you can work backwards from there.

Y'all got off easy all things considered, my man. I wouldn't expect a whole lot of transfers, which is the worst thing the bowl ban could do.

Also you may wanna be a little more cautious in what you believe from OM news sources. You've bought the party line wholly when there really isn't any hard evidence supporting those Leo Lewis accusations.

Didn’t they release audio of his mother admitting as much? And most of what I’m going with is sourced to Steven Godfrey, who usually does pretty good work.

Found his breakdown:
https://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2017/8/25/16199394/leo-lewis-ncaa-ole-miss-mississippi-state

And the tape:
https://247sports.com/college/ole-m...tment-111456549

And I said: I never expected them to do poo poo to State about Lewis and the penalties could have been a hell of a lot worse.

They had an alright season, beat their instate rival, and didn’t gently caress up their coaching search. The scholarship reductions were also pretty close to what Ole Miss proposed. And their best offensive player is using this is staying and using this as a big chip on his shoulder.

But that doesn’t mean I can find it dumb and annoying.

Also LOL at anyone who thinks their school isn’t paying players.

Yeah I'm certain LSU offered $650,000 and Lewis turned it down for $11,000

Oh I don’t necessarily believe the amounts - but I’d find it nuts to believe a 5 star linebacker recruit and one of the highest rated recruits in the country didn’t also get money or offers of money from the other school.

(Also it was $65,000, but still - I don’t think the amounts matter)
