Does this open up a slot for Hugh Freeze in an analyst role?
No limit on # of analysts, just football budget. As another coach has told me “Nick wants, Nick gets!” He advocates for the other programs, don’t want anyone to take that quote the wrong way!
I still expect Freeze as an analyst OR possibly TE coach if Panuzzi moves off field as expected. I understand the Freeze situation may not sit well with some so, I’d expect anything there to come after signing day. Not to mention, more schools will likely have movement after signing day and the Super Bowl when NFL teams finazlize coaching moves. Freeze may end up with an OC offer elsewhere.
