Ole Miss officials have apologized after since-deleted tweets from Ole Miss' official football Twitter account on Saturday mocked former coach Hugh Freeze following the Rebels' 27-14 victory over Liberty.
One of the tweets included a picture of Freeze coaching from a hospital bed two years ago at Liberty while recovering from surgery he underwent after a potentially life-threatening strand of staph infection entered his bloodstream and complicated a herniated disc in his back.
Freeze, in his third season as Liberty's coach, was returning to Ole Miss for the first time since resigning on July 20, 2017 after school officials found a "pattern of personal misconduct" that included phone calls to a number linked to a female escort service.
