Is the SEC the only conference that stops schools from hiring coaches?

The whole Bo Davis and Freeze thing has me seriously confused.

Does the same thing happen at Pac 12, Big 10 or ACC I have never heard of something similar.

Why does the SEC do this or is it pure speculation on our part that those coaches can't coach in the conference again?

It's not speculation that the SEC told Saban he couldn't hire Freeze a couple of years back. That happened. But I they have supposedly said SEC schools can hire him now. I guess enough time has passed for him.

Freeze


It would be shite for him to be hired as a HC while the team he formerly coached still had sanctions on them.

Similar to Butch smoking cigars after Bama destroyed the team he put together. Its like wtf

They let Pearl back in
I guess a few more years before they let Freeze back

Bo Davis is the one getting blackballed by the league which I'm not sure I understand why, head coach deserves more responsibility than that.

The NCAA kept Bo Davis' "bump rule" violation case open for over a year before issuing a two year show cause. No school anywhere could hire him.

I don't think he's blackballed, but he comes with serious baggage for a position coach. He lied to the NCAA and to his head coach. That's a very serious breach of trust with a guy who hired you four times. People pay attention to it.

As far as I have ever known, the League has no official power to restrict the hiring of coaches. Which is not to say, depending on the strength of a sitting commish, that the League won't strongly recommend against a certain hiring. Tubby moving from the Black Bears to AU was strongly frowned upon by the League but it could not stop him.

The SEC has no authority to veto the hire of any coaches by any SEC school. This is one of those internet myths that has taken on a life of its own. At most, the commissioner can call a school and caution them against a particular hire, but that's it, persuasion only.

You seem to be on a short list of people that believe Davis did not tell Saban anything. So, a control freak knew nothing? Really?

Be careful throwing those stones so close to our glass house. There could be a time in the near future where our program will be asking people to suspend disbelief about what our coaches and admin knew about the wrongdoings of subordinates.

"Show cause" does not stop a school from hiring a person but has requirement if it does. This from an article by Nicole Auerbach on Show Cause and Bruce Pearl.

quote:

In short, a show-cause penalty is just that: a penalty requiring the employer of a penalized coach to appear before a committee every six months how and why said coach has stayed in line with the NCAA rulebook. It does not say a coach must be fired, or that he or she can not be rehired by another school.


Show Cause is basically a Scarlet Letter...

I am an equal opportunity mocker. If O is in this situation.....let him go. No tears. If anyone else had knowledge, let them go.

However, I will stand by my question of a control freak not knowing anything about this. While O may be guilty, he is nowhere near the control guy that Saban. No one can argue that. No, I am not trying to use ignorance as an excuse. FTR.
