i agree duece. the players have to learn to grow up quickly but it seems in some ways that the previous coaching staff may have been enabling their behaviors to a certain extent, so they have to get broke back down and relearn how to be a man. in terms of coach freezes comments; i agree in some ways it seems a mixed msg. i do think that freeze is a straight shooter though and is letting the ole miss family know that this is probably going to take time. we have been through so many coaches in a short amount of time, and i think his msg is to have patience.

I want to be optimistic, i really do, but I tend to agree with my friend JB... I have no problem with being a realist and speaking frank... ie the wilderness analogies, not an even deck, etc.... but I am wondering how you pump up your remaining players one day and tell the newspaper the next that they aren't good enough. regardless, im sure Coach Freeze is a smarter man than me so he probably knows how to handle it....and that was not meant sarcastic.......... but like on a previous post the word "kids" is an excuse. if they are 18-21 years old and still have to be coddled and hand held when it comes to right and wrong and preparing themselves for their future then may be we should leave them a home for a few more years with their parents. When i was 17 I was learning how to properly bayonet an enemy and survive on the battlefield, so were a lot more young men. I bet any of us would have given our left you know what to have been in college on a free ride playing football.

The Rebels Could land Dante Phillips.. He was a 4 Star DT that commited to Florida but was Denied Admissions?? His Step father said that the NCAA ruled that he was eligible to play... It's between us and Miami

but it took Moses all of his life to get the people to the promised land. my opinion; if he can adjust his offensive scheme to fit in the SEC, he is probably the right man for the job.

Sound like to me that Coach Freeze is not very optimistic about his football team, so its appears to me that the Rebels will remain in the wilderness. I was hoping that he could have been a Moses to Rebel football. But guess I was wrong.
