Considering their twitter warriors got the Schiano hire nixed the last time around, I can’t imagine the reaction to Freeze would be much different. That is, if Greg Sankey even gave the ok to speak to Freeze.

It would absolutely be different.

At the time they tried to hire Schiano his star had dimmed quite a bit after flaming out in Tampa. It was no different than the reaction many of us had when Orgeron was hired...we just didn't have a twitter revolt overexaggerating a potential HC's involvement (or lack thereof) in a big college football scandal (the Penn St./Sandusky episode) Freeze on the other hand is winning at a high level at Liberty AND has a track record of beating Saban, multiple times, with (in the eye's of UT fans) a "lesser" program. Something Tennessee has NEVER done since Saban arrived at Alabama in what has become the most overrated and lopsided "rivalry" in all of college football.

I think if you told Tennessee fans they could be getting a guy who has a history of wining in the SEC (something UT hasn't done a lot of in the past decade) and beating the top program in the SEC (something Tenn. hasn't done in 15 years) they would be THRILLED
