Honestly, you just have to be happy for Freeze. He was run out of Oxford in humiliating fashion and it looked like his career might be over forever.
Then, the Flames took a chance on him and he’s done an outstanding job these past few years.

Not only does he have Liberty winning at an impressive level, but he’s more or less completely rehabbed his image after an embarrassing exit from Ole Miss.
Now, he’s getting a massive chunk of money to remain with the Flames through the 2028 season. He’s made one hell of a comeback.

If he manages to take the next step with Liberty, he could eventually find himself back in the P5. At this point, I wouldn’t rule it out.
