Freeze’s resignation was not due to the ongoing NCAA investigation. The investigation presented an argument for firing Freeze, but ultimately had little effect on this process.
Ole Miss could have fired Freeze multiple times over the past year, but chose not to. Honestly, had Bjork made that call, he was likely to have been run out of town. Freeze amassed what I’d relate to a cult following among fans and boosters. Such is life when you remind Ole Miss they can contend nationally.
A pattern of personal misconduct was Freeze’s detriment. Steve Robertson and Houston Nutt’s attorney, Thomas Mars, discovered Freeze made a phone call to an escort service in January.
