I went to a UT-Chattanooga alumni function tonight here in Cleveland, TN. I spoke with someone in the athletic department. When he found out I went to Ole Miss, he said, "You know we interviewed Hugh Freeze for our HC position before we hired Russ Huesman back in '08". I didn't know that. I know Huesman is a UTC alumnus. I didn't get to ask why they passed on Freeze. Coach Huesman was at the event and made a joke at the end that he knew some of the folks in the athletic department wanted Hugh Freeze.
Just so you know. UTC has won back-to-back conference titles and made the FCS quarterfinals this year. So he's doing well here. I'm sure he'd trade places with Freeze at this point, though.
