re: Hugh Freeze positives far outweigh the risk

I would fight IRL whoever downvoted the Freeze/Aranda idea. I’ll make you eat that sonic sign, baw.
I don't want Freeze because I don't think he'd help us as much as our fans think. He doesn't run the ball. Didn't at ole miss or Arkansas State. He runs up tempo 100% of the time, so his defenses are always gassed. He hasn't figured when to turn it up and when to let off. His 2016 Ole Miss team averaged only 25 minutes of possession a game, which is why they blew so many leads throughout the season. Even a good defense is going to get gassed if they're on the field that much. It's a good system to win some games you shouldn't, but it's not a system that works for an entire season. For example, Ole Miss beat Alabama in 2014, but they also scored 7 points against LSU, 3 points against TCU, and 0 against Arkansas.
I think we definitely need a coach that can implement some HUNH and spread concepts, but I do not think a coach that runs HUNH with no semblance of a running game is what we need, and that's what Hugh Freeze is. Sure, he'd be better than Ensminger but I don't think that's a real high bar. If our fans want to start competing for titles, we need to have a coach that can establish a strong running game as well as opening up the offense. It does not have to be one or the other, and Hugh Freeze is not that guy IMO

Tell me more about how Ole Miss recruited higher ranked players and deeper at every position than LSU on defense.

You act like Freeze ran an air raid offense. That’s just not the case.
UF just hired Mullen, who also lost a lot of games at State and won some he shouldn’t have. Mullen was a good hire, but Freeze is better than Mullen and available as an OC! We all know the Mississippi schools weren’t going to be elite because they are, well...the Mississippi schools. OM cheated because they weren’t going to get those recruits otherwise. LSU is not in that situation.

Valid points to consider. Freeze was never able to recruit top running backs to Ole Miss. Not sure if that was a recruiting problem, or his offense scared them away. They never had a guy come close to 1000 yards while Freeze was there, or Ark State.
