After struggling to get through the 2017 season as a spectator, former Ole Miss head coach Hugh Freeze is hoping to find his way back into college football.
"I really believe I have a lot to offer a program, whether as an assistant or a head coach, and I'm hopeful it's very soon," Freeze told Rachel Baribeau of Gridiron Now. "That program will get a very determined, motivated, better coach Freeze if given a second chance."
Freeze led Ole Miss to plenty of success during his five-year tenure, but was fired July 20 after it was revealed he had made calls to escort services, and was in the middle of the Rebels' recruiting violations.
"Saturday is the most difficult day ..." Freeze said of his experience watching the season play out from his couch. "Then Saturday comes and I get into an almost depressed mode and then I have to pray and fight through that. I kind of get by myself, don't want to be around anybody. And that kind of carries over on through Saturday night. Sunday morning, then we go to church and I kind of get back on the upswing. It usually takes me 'til Monday afternoon to count all my blessings and trust God with my future. But Saturday is by far the most difficult."
Freeze has come up recently as a potential candidate for various offensive coordinator positions, but he's yet to land a job.
