Virginia Tech Hokies Coaching Candidate Carousel: Hugh Freeze

Do you believe in second chances?

Liberty University athletic director, Ian McCaw, showed that he does when he hired Hugh Freeze to become the ninth head coach of the Liberty University Flames football team. Coach Freeze took the reins in 2019, LU’s first season as an FBS squad. In his inaugural season with the Flames he led them to an 8-5 record and the program’s first bowl berth, and victory, defeating Georgia Southern at the FBC Mortgage Cure Bowl. In 2020, Freeze earned the Lynchburg, Virginia based team a signature win, when Liberty defeated the Virginia Tech Hokies just a few hours down the road in Blacksburg.
