its all but done at this point right



So if Auburn decided to pursue Freeze, could the SEC do anything about it? The short answer is no, but there would be a discussion.
SEC bylaw 19.8.1.2 requires member schools to "exercise best efforts to hire individuals committed to rules compliance." It does not, however, explicitly forbid league schools from hiring coaches with NCAA compliance baggage.
"While each member institution makes its own hiring decisions," the bylaw states, "member institutions shall, at a minimum, request specific information from each candidate concerning his/her rules compliance record and communicate with NCAA enforcement and the Conference office regarding the same prior to offering employment to any candidate."
But there's more.
"In addition," the bylaw reads, "where a member institution considers hiring an individual who has engaged in unethical conduct as defined under NCAA Bylaws or who has participated in activity that resulted, or may result, in a Level I, Level II or major infraction, the President or Chancellor of that member institution is expected to consult directly with the Commissioner prior to offering employment to the individual."
That means Auburn President Christopher B. Roberts would have to have a conversation with SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey before hiring Freeze.

Of course the ATL

Idk if it’s been mentioned in here but Willie Fritz might be the next HC on the flats :lupe:




I know he was at Georgia Southern before he went to Tulane. Excellent hire if true in my opinion

It’s all but confirmed. Tech wanted a guy who can recruit and win at a school with high academic standards. Fritz fits that mold…makes the Deion rumors look ridiculous

It would seem, one of those situations where, the letter of the law no, but would be strongly quietly and loudly frowned upon
