Sometimes the best hire is not picking the wrong guy

Thankfully Bertman saw through Petrino and saved LSU a lot of embarrassment.
Florida probably feeling the same way right about now since Freeze was a finalist for the Fla job.

He was the right hire at the time. And yes, Bertman saw through that scum, Petrino. As a coach he certainly had an eye on winners. Les wasn't flashy but I think Bertman def saw that Les had what it took.
I just hope that Coach O is the right hire for LSU at this time.

Maybe none of this comes to light if Freeze is hired at UF in 2015.
The NCAA violations at Ole Miss would have occurred under Freeze, but with him being at UF, maybe the desire to pin everything on Houston Nutt isn't as great. If Nutt doesn't take legal action, then Freeze's phone records may not have come under scrutiny. If the phone records don't come under scrutiny, the fact that Freeze was calling "pros" may not have ever come out.
The line to replace Nutt at Ole Miss wasn't long. Freeze wanted the job and was clearly ok with the boosters' desire to "bend the rules" to field a winner. Freeze was the right man at the right time for what Ole Miss wanted to do. They sold their soul to the devil to get back to football glory and EVERYONE knew it. It was one of the least transparent instances of cheating in the last 20 years. Ole Miss mostly got what it wanted on the field. Now the bill is due, with interest

Stevie Wonder could see Petrino is a scumbag.

UM would probably hire Freeze again if they could have a do-over and I dont blame them. They werent anything before him. Now they are just back to square one.

I knew one of the guys on the coaching search committee at that time, and Petrino didnt even make it past the committee to be able to talk to Bertman because his initial interview was so bad.

Fla's current coach is more embarrassing than Freeze.

By that logic, why not just keep Miles? He was a proven winner and kept our program pretty clean and free of major scandals,
