The UAB beat reporter for AL.com was on Fox's afternoon drive show last week in Ruston.
He said that Holtz to UAB was not going to happen.
It'll be interesting to see what eventually will happen.
This is what's interested me about UAB since the day the football program came back. To bring the program back UAB's leadership had to given assurances to the University of Alabama board that they had no intentions of seeking membership in a Power 5 league in the future. And that they had no intentions of competing with the U of A.
What if the opportunity presents itself at some point in the next 10 years? The Big 12 or the ACC? Their board has already been told they'll say no.
Lester out at WMU.
Winning overall record. Only one losing season.
I really thought the demand for Freeze was mostly just his agent.
Good for Liberty for getting that buy-out in ahead of this (and, in my opinion, for getting out of that contract).
Liberty will have a lot of money to spend on his replacement.
UAB now seemingly hiring Trent Dilfer.

Probably so. He knew he was on his way out so he try a bold move to save his job.
His problem was he was only 37-32. Following a guy who was 13-1 in his last season who played in the cotton bowl that was not good enough.
Freeze is a good coach, not someone who you would want your sister to bring home to meet your parents. He just had to find the right spot. He had a great set up at Liberty with Ian McCaw and Falwell Jr (before he literally got caught with his pants down).
Auburn is a perfect fit as well. A field name after Pat Dye and Bruce Pearl is the basketball coach. A trifecta of corruption.
Liberty probably not getting as much of a buy-out as we might expect. Not to matter they have tons of money. Freeze was making more than about half of the Power 5 coaches, $5 million a year on the new contract.
That’s huge!!! Good for them, and Dilfer. I listen to the Ryen Russillo podcast thrice a week, and my favorite guest he has on is Trent. He has a wealth of football knowledge, knows everything about the QB position, and is just a really cool guy to listen to break down the intricacies of the game. I can’t stand UAB, but we suck so bad I hope he has a ton of success and can continue to grow in his career!
Looks like the clause to keep Mickey Joseph on the Nebraska staff will no longer apply.

I wonder if Holtz gets a job at a place like Texas State?
I'm as concerned about facing Chadwell as I would have been about Freeze (probably much more, actually).
