Because Greg Sanjay won’t let it happen. Couldn’t even get a job as an analyst in the SEC

But even fans have wondered whether Freeze could return to the SEC with how his tenure ended at Ole Miss. As AL.com exclusively detailed in a 2018 story, multiple SEC schools, including Alabama, wanted to hire Freeze in 2018 as an assistant but were told no. SEC commissioner Greg Sankey made clear to the league’s schools it wouldn’t look good for an SEC school to hire Freeze with Ole Miss still dealing with NCAA penalties incurred under his watch. Sankey’s directive was that Freeze needed to go away for a while and seek career opportunities outside the SEC.
quote:
With Freeze now a hot coaching candidate, the topic has become relevant again. While you shouldn’t expect Sankey to roll out the red carpet for a Freeze return, the conference office block on an SEC school hiring him is no longer there, multiple sources told AL.com. The feeling is that Freeze served his time away from the league and that if a school wanted to hire him as a head coach, it would have the opportunity to do so.
quote:
Despite Freeze’s public baggage and previous NCAA issues, multiple industry sources told AL.com they believe there would be a strong demand for Freeze as a head coach. He’s highly regarded for his offensive coaching prowess and his track record of winning big at every place he’s been. Freeze recently agreed to a contract extension with Liberty that will reportedly pay him more than $3 million annually and keep him in Lynchburg until 2026. He has repeatedly said it would take a special opportunity for him to leave Liberty, the school that’s helped him rehabilitate his image after his very public fall from grace that included a “concerning pattern” of calls to escort services while at Ole Miss.
However, that won’t stop schools from making a run at him.
quote:
Multiple reports have linked him to the Southern Miss opening, but even with an alma mater discount, Freeze is far outside the school’s price range. If Freeze is going to leave Liberty, the perception in the college football industry is it will be for the SEC.
“The one conference that would hire him is the SEC,” one plugged in industry source said. “I couldn’t see him in the Big Ten or Pac-12. The amount of places he could go comes down to the SEC or maybe a couple of schools in the Big 12.”

Have you read what Saban said about Freeze? It was essentially that the SEC had other ideas.

Wrong.
Freeze is clear to Coach by the SEC office.
Exactly.
I will never understand how some people speak in such absolute facts.
And to the person saying Riley is a better coach. I mean maybe, but he's a far harder pull are would cost much more. Both coaches would be scary for opposing teams at LSU.
Freeze can be had.
When will the Title IX stuff be over? Also, how is paying women money for their services quite the same?

Bruh, that was a while back. Saban recently praised Freeze btw. He still speaks highly of him.
Things change.
Here, read for yourself.

The man was never going to be banned forever. He needed to go somewhere else for a while first. Which he has.

Why can’t we just hire Freeze?
On the field, he's the lowest risk, highest ceiling candidate out there. Easily.

Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I think the REC sabotaged his career at Ole Miss. He stopped Saban two years in a row. They'll do whatever they can to prevent that from continuing.
