A year to the week after the NCAA bulldozed the Ole Miss program with a two-year bowl ban and hefty recruiting limitations, the man once thought to be at the center of the wreckage is once again a head college football coach.
As confirmed by SB Nation’s Steven Godfrey, Hugh Freeze has been hired by Liberty University, a private Christian school in Lynchburg, Virginia. Of note: the man who hired him, Ian McCaw, was the Baylor athletic director who resigned during that school’s ugly scandals.
Liberty clearly isn’t afraid of the baggage Freeze carries into Lynchburg.
