Ole Miss tabs Freeze as new head coach

Sunday, it was reported that Hugh Freeze was expected to be offered and accept the head-coaching position at Ole Miss. In a video message posted to Ole Miss’ official website, Archie Manning, who headed the Rebels’ coach search committee, announced that the school has indeed hired Freeze as its replacement for Houston Nutt. Freeze comes to Oxford from Arkansas State, where his Red Wolves capped off a 10-2 regular season with a Sun Belt conference crown in his first and only season at the school.

Manning said during video clip that the committee was “immediately wowed” by Freeze’s “plan, his energy, his track record of recruiting and his proven ability to win and win the right way.”
