Hugh Freeze’s voice cracked for the first time as he began to talk about what his father told him on July 21, 2017, the day after he got fired by Mississippi, “when all hell broke loose around me, my family, my career,” he said.

Freeze is still here, and still trying to resurrect his college coaching career after re-emerging publicly in recent weeks.
