Hugh Freeze Talks Ole Miss Resignation, Apologizes for 'Private Sin'

Former University of Mississippi head football coach Hugh Freeze apologized Wednesday for the "private sin" that led to his resignation from the Rebels' program in July.

George Schroeder of USA Today passed along comments Freeze made at Liberty University about the "pattern of personal misconduct" discovered by the school after learning of a call he made to an escort service.

"All the walls came crumbling down when what I thought was a private sin that I had struggled with, confessed to my wife to two of my friends in 2016, that I thought I was dealing with and was in my rear-view mirror, when it became public knowledge," he said.
