Hugh Freeze Surrenders Twitter Account After Controversial Hires at Liberty University
Former Ole Miss Coach Faces Criticism for Questionable Actions
Apology Issued by Ole Miss After Mocking Freeze on Twitter
Liberty University football coach Hugh Freeze has found himself embroiled in controversy after being accused of sending unsolicited direct messages on Twitter to a sexual assault survivor who sued the university. The former Ole Miss coach has faced criticism for his actions, which have drawn attention to the questionable hiring practices at Liberty University.
In the wake of the allegations, Liberty University officials have issued an apology to the survivor and announced that Freeze will no longer be allowed to use his Twitter account. The university has also launched an investigation into the matter.
Freeze is no stranger to controversy. He resigned from Ole Miss in 2017 after it was revealed that he had used a university cell phone to call escort services. He was also accused of violating NCAA recruiting rules during his time at Ole Miss.
Despite his checkered past, Freeze was hired by Liberty University in 2019. The university has defended its decision, saying that Freeze has been a "great asset" to the program. However, the latest allegations have raised questions about his suitability to lead a Christian university.
The allegations against Freeze have also reignited debate about the role of social media in college athletics. Some believe that coaches should be more careful about what they post on social media, while others argue that they have a right to express their opinions.
It remains to be seen what the long-term consequences of these allegations will be for Freeze and Liberty University. However, it is clear that the incident has raised important questions about the ethics of social media use and the role of coaches in college athletics.
