It's amazing that Hugh Freeze is here, listed among the best young college football coaches in America, after not having played the game himself and only arriving on the FBS scene (for good) as an offensive coordinator at Arkansas State four seasons ago.
His rise since then has been remarkable. In one year, Freeze was promoted to head coach of ASU after Steve Roberts resigned. One year later, after leading the Red Wolves to a Sun Belt title, he was coaching his very own SEC team at Ole Miss.
One year later, he had engineered an impressive turnaround, leading the Rebels to a 7-6 record and bowl victory one year after, going 2-10. And finally, last season, after hauling in one of the most impressive recruiting classes in the country, he improved that record by one win to 8-5 and is looking to improve even more in 2014.
