FAYETTEVILLE — Seems fewer get forgiven faster than disgraced, but successful college coaches.
Arkansas faces the epitome of one. Hugh Freeze coaches the AP 23rd-ranked Liberty University Flames besetting at 3 p.m Saturday on SEC Network at Reynolds Razorback Stadium.
A 33-12 record as the since 2019 yet again reborn Christian coach at Liberty apparently liberates Freeze from his successful, professed born again, turned scandalous Ole Miss past.
After a 10-2 one-year run at Arkansas State that was sandwiched between the Gus Malzahn and Bryan Harsin one-year ASU regimes, Freeze from 2012-16 unofficially compiled an impressive 39-25 Ole Miss record, including consecutive upsets of 12-2 and 14-1 Alabama teams.
