If you’re Pruitt, why would you hire Freeze?

If the offense succeeds, folks will want Freeze to get the head job (especially if the defense continues to struggle)... if he fails, both are getting fired.

I get why fans want it... but it just seems like a risky move for JP.

Because nobody wants Chip Lindsey.

Freeze has beaten Bama 2 years in a row before. How many coaches can say that?

VOLS total defensive went from being ranked in the 90s in 2017 to 50s this year.

Offense stayed in the 120s both years, lol.

Germy's defense will be fine.

because hugh can run an offense AND beat SABAN

briles is staying at UH, kiffin is staying at FAU. kinsbury went to USC. hugh is the best left.

Pruitt can call a D, hugh can call O.

If i am JP i am not letting hugh leave knoxville without a deal.

Is this Ed Orgeron logic?

Pruitt will continue to dominate Auburn, both on the trail and on the field, regardless of who the OC is. Worry about trying to get rid of Chip and Gus

It seems like a great hire . A defensive head coach hiring a offensive coach that has proven he can beat Bama and put up points in the SEC seems like a great hire. If Freeze does good he will get another head coaching job.

This was Pruitt's first season and according to expectations, he didn't do too badly. If he hires Freeze and they have success, Freeze is going to get another HC job, but that doesn't put Pruitt on the hot seat.

To beat Alabama, while placing Tennessee in jeopardy of the death penalty.

This is a classic reason why I'm still not sold on Pruitt being a D1 head coach. Why would you bring in someone with all that baggage when you're trying to clean up the program?

If you want to beat Bama I'd hire Freeze.

Pruitt will have the defense playing well soon. If Freeze is hired and the offense succeeds, JP is getting an extension and raise, and Hugh is getting a HC job somewhere probably. I’m really curious to see in a couple years how toxic Freeze’s name will be when it comes to HC jobs.

Would be an amazing hire by Tenn. They may beat VAndy again if they land Freeze...in a few years of course not immediately he can’t work miracles
