To us at FootballScoop it would seem a bit unusual for Florida to put an offer into a coach’s hands and then hope he accepts. Just seems a bit off.
When comparing $4 M to $4.3 M…there really is no difference. If the report is accurate, this isn’t about economics. This is about what your priorities in life are. For Freeze, is it about reaching the pinnacle of the profession or is about about family and being proud of who you are and where you are from and what you stand for? Everything Hugh does publicly would lead you to believe he’s thrilled to be the head coach in his home state (and darn near his hometown). Does he have a burning desire to win it all? Sure. Can he do that at Ole Miss? You bet. Might it be a bit easier at Florida? Yeah, probably; but is he willing to change who he is to achieve that goal? I don’t know; but I don’t think so. My gut tells me Hugh will sign an extension at Ole Miss; but my gut doesn’t have a vote here. I haven’t spoken directly with Hugh on this so I can’t tell you exactly what he is thinking.
As always, we’ll keep you posted on The Scoop as this all plays out.
