Hugh Freeze is in his eighth season as a head coach at the FBS level in 2020.
He is in his second season as Liberty’s head coach after being in the same capacity at Ole Miss (2012-16) and Arkansas State (2011).
Freeze guided Liberty to its first ever bowl win last season and has started the 2020 campaign 8-1 with Power Five victories over Syracuse and Virginia Tech. His lone loss was at North Carolina State, 15-14.
Freeze has a winning background within the state of Tennessee.
He won two state championships (2002, 2004) at Briarcrest Christian School in Memphis.
The veteran head coach also experienced success at NAIA Lambuth University in Jackson, Tennessee. During the 2008 and 2009 seasons, Freeze compiled a 20-5 record and reached the NAIA playoffs.
Freeze’s success at Liberty, along with his proven track record, has placed his name at the center of a lot of Power Five programs possibly in looking to hiring him. The Knoxville News Sentinel even asked if Tennessee football should enter the Hugh Freeze sweepstakes?
After the Knoxville News Sentinel posed the question, Vols Wire looked into where Freeze stands to return as a head coach within the Power Five, Southeastern Conference and in the Volunteer State.
On “The Tony Basilio Show” Wednesday, Vols Wire discussed Freeze and his history with the University of Tennessee and the program being described as his dream job. The entire segment can be listened to here.

“I will never change what we do offensively. I don’t know all but what we’ve done, it’s had success everywhere we’ve been. It’s what I am familiar with and what I feel comfortable calling the game with, so we’re doing the same stuff.” — Hugh Freeze on the show “Tennessee Two-A-Days”
