If Alabama and Saban want it, the SEC won't do shite to stop it. They're not shooting the golden goose.

Sign off? The sec cannot stop them, this is stupid. The NCAA has already levied penalties against Freeze.

“Saban is really pushing for Freeze to be an on-the-field coach,”

One problem, per the News, is that some within the program are pushing against such an addition


quote:

Another aspect to this is that should Alabama decided to hire Freeze as an on-the-field coach, it would likely need the blessing of SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey. Sankey isn’t keen on that happening


I don't believe any of that. Saban is "pushing" to hire Freeze, no way. There's no one that he would have to ask. Plus the idea that people in the program are "pushing against" is crazy. Who are these people that have authority over Saban within the Bama program?

The article says that Sankey has to sign off on position coach hires.

Exactly. Even the AD answers to Nick. If he wants him, he gets freeze. If not, he won’t. Really not rocket science.

This is my take. The SEC can't do shite if there isn't any legal actions they can take. You can't block a hire based on assumed public perception.

I would have hired him in a second at LSU. I hope he gets hired at Alabama just to spite coach BLOW.

Why does the SEC seem to supersede the NCAA? They seem to be butting their nose into everything from player eligibility to coaches, etc...shouldn’t these be NCAA decisions?

so you would have hired a known cheater w/o regards to the consequences and you hope a competitor hires him just to hurt LSU.

that's about right. many LSU haters on this board. many won't LSU football to fail. "I didn't get my way so I hate you". juvenile punks.

The SEC can and will do nothing to stop Saban from hiring Freeze.

LINK

And if it’s true that Saban wants to hire him and ends up doing so, it will be absolute, irrefutable proof of LSU and Orgeron’s utter incompetence.

Steve Ensminger. I still can’t believe the fricking retarded shite being crammed down LSU fans’ throats while being hyped as the best. And so many shite-eaters on here are lapping it up because they’re O fans.

Sometimes you need to just rip the bandaid off granddad. No point delaying the inevitable. Let's hit reset and try again

Exactly. The people that want to be “right” and that means LSU struggles has gotten to be absurd. I’ve said it countless times and I’ll say it again-I was against the O hire from the beginning. Now I hope and pray that I am dead wrong and LSU enjoys much success under O. Also I won’t be sitting back and questioning every single decision he makes and declaring that the end is near! Give them a chance to establish something and build on it. Plenty of UGA fans wanted Kirby Smart out after he went 8-5 last year.

The SEC doesn't have to approve the hiring of a coach.

The SEC office won’t tell their boss he can’t have something he wants. Expect them to bend over backwards to make it happen.
