Not sure but I think Freeze did do a good job of utilizing his WRs and TEs very well. Gave the DBs hell the two times he beat Bama

The problem is, when I Google freeze offense most of the results talk about tempo more than his actual offensive philosophy. He has not coached an offense in a couple years and my memory is not perfect especially when talking about an opposing fan base offensive philosophy. So, all I have to go on is he likes tempo.

So his head coaching record (I wanna say sucks but 3-31 is worse than sucking.) This is why I am not optimistic. You can be a great OC and still suck and being the head coach. I know Saban develops assistants to be more than assistants over the course of developing but does anyone know that he had enough time to develop him into more than a great OC? The jump between the 2 is huge.

It’s not just his 3-31 record. The article hits on the off the field issues.

I'm seeing stuff from 2009 and 2010. He could have matured since then. I know I have.

Locksley is expected to stay with the team through the playoff.

Say what you want about Locksley and his playcalling at times, but dang.... hes one heck of a coach. Players respect him.

Players do like him, but that says absolutely nothing about his coaching ability.

Anyway, only real concern about this to me is Locksley poaching other members of our staff. That's almost inevitable with any coordinator departure though, so I guess I should say poaching the best members of our staff.

Freeze historically runs a pass-heavy variant of essentially the same scheme they run at Clemson. It’s a spread offense run principally from the shotgun with lots of tempo. Freeze de-emphasized the conventional running game with RBs at Ole Miss to the point that it was almost just a change of pace. Not sure if that was by design or if personnel dictated it.

That is what I remember. Running backs under freeze saw very few carries. That is the opposite of Alabama. Now, if that were a personell issue and not a scheme issue then he is just a smart coach that adapted . If that was by design then it's a problem.

Agreed. I recall Ole Miss having a backfield primarily composed of scat backs while Freeze was there, and while the Rebs ran the ball as a team quite a bit, the bulk of the rushing production came from either the QB position or jet sweeps, etc.. Designed handoffs to running backs in a conventional downhill manner were not common in that offense.

Now, hypothetically if Freeze ended up at Alabama I sincerely doubt he’d be allowed (or even attempt) to implement that scheme. I suspect a large part of it was the talent Ole Miss had available. I think he’s a pretty good offensive coach and playcaller, and would probably do really well within the constraints of our system - which is increasingly spread based anyway. Not sure he’s a quality human being, though.....

Locksley did a good job but Enos is capable of carrying the offense to the next level but I wouldn't be surprised if Hugh Freeze doesn't come into the picture....

So, you would be surprised if Hugh Freeze did come into the picture?

I think he was brought in with the assumption that he'd rise to OC within two off-seasons.

And with us having an opening for an Offensive Coordinator...
I see Enos as our next Offensive boss... (BTW: Our players really like him)
Maybe it's just me, but I ain't a fan of CHF... I know he can coach, but I don't like him.
Promote Enos, and bring in another good Offensive coach to work with him.

I agree but, I don't see CNS getting Dan and me on a conference call soliciting our input. How much impact will losing Locksley affect our recruiting in the DC, VA and MD region?

Freeze will do alright there. As long as he learns to keep a burner phone when he dials up hookers and massage parlors.

Poorly worded.....I wouldn't be surprised if Hugh Freeze came into the picture. IMO Freeze will be considered for the OC position. It might only be briefly before promoting Enos but all potential candidates should be vetted. Thanks for pointing out the error....
