In his first public appearance since his abrupt resignation in July, former Ole Miss head football coach Hugh Freeze made his first public appearance Wednesday, at which he asked forgiveness for his wrongdoing.
“I had to say to people that I loved, ‘I am sorry. Please forgive me,’” he said. “And today is really the first day I can tell the faith family, ‘I am sorry. Please forgive me.’”
Speaking during a convocation at Liberty University in Virginia, Freeze told the audience his “world got rocked in 2017” after news broke that he made calls to a female escort service using a university cell phone that contributed to what Chancellor Jeff Vitter called a “pattern of personal misconduct” and ultimately led to his resignation.
