Hugh Freeze
Danny Hugh Freeze Jr. (born September 27, 1969) is an American football coach. He is currently the head football coach at Liberty University. A successful high school football coach at Briarcrest Christian School in Memphis, Tennessee, Freeze coached Michael Oher and Greg Hardy. He subsequently served as the head football coach at Lambuth University from 2008 to 2009, Arkansas State University in 2011, and the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) from 2012 to 2016. Under Freeze, the Ole Miss football program committed various recruiting and academic violations that figured in the NCAA's decision to expunge 27 of Freeze's wins and ban it from post-season play for two years. He resigned from Ole Miss after officials discovered that he had used a university cellphone to call escort services multiple times over the course of five years.

U.S. Open 2022: Ol’ ball coach Hugh Freeze says he likes Jon Rahm’s response to the LIV Golf controversy (and his grit too)

On Tuesday in Brookline, defending U.S. Open champion Jon Rahm was asked, like just about every golfer before and after him was asked, about his feelings surrounding the LIV Golf controversy. The fiery Spaniard, known in part for his temper on the course, took a breath and then delivered one of the more thoughtful responses we've heard to golf’s ongoing schism. It’s worth noting as you listen that English is not Rahm’s first language, and yet he remains more accurate and articulate than 90% of the guys on tour who have been speaking it since "mama" and "dada."

Hugh Freeze thinks Tennessee Titans are 'great' for Malik Willis. I've started to agree | Estes

Three years at Liberty and Hugh Freeze still sounds a lot like that ol' coach who won a lot at Ole Miss. In his understated, “aw shucks” way, Freeze fields a complicated question – and the biggest one the NFL had about his ex-quarterback – on how Malik Willis will adjust from Liberty's relatively undemanding offense to a pro system with the Tennessee Titans. ...

Auburn football: Bryan Harsin could give way to Hugh Freeze, says Paul Finebam

The situation at Auburn over the past few days has captured the attention of much of the college football world as coach Bryan Harsin's future at the school is in limbo pending an investigation.

Lane Kiffin humorously one-ups Hugh Freeze

Lane Kiffin cannot help but stir the pot a bit, especially when it comes to one of his predecessors at Ole Miss. On Tuesday, Liberty coach Hugh Freeze posted a picture of himself on social media showing off a rather impressive fish he caught. That wasn’t enough to impress Kiffin, who responded to the post with an impressive flex of his own.
