In a surprising development, Hugh Freeze, head coach of the Ole Miss Rebels football team, has terminated his contract following a significant disagreement with university management. The dispute reportedly centered around the direction of the football program and specific team decisions. This resignation adds to an already turbulent period for Freeze, who has been under scrutiny following an investigation revealing calls made to an escort service from his university-issued phone.
Freeze’s departure leaves a gap in the leadership of the Ole Miss football team as they prepare for the upcoming season. Co-offensive coordinator and offensive line coach Matt Luke has been appointed as the interim head coach. The university is expected to begin the search for a permanent replacement immediately.
This latest incident caps a series of challenges for Freeze, including an NCAA investigation and a lawsuit filed by former coach Houston Nutt. The Rebels now face the task of moving forward and finding stability in the wake of Freeze’s sudden exit.
