Former Rebels’ QB posts jab at former coach Hugh Freeze
Apparently not all of former Ole Miss coach’s players were buying what he was preaching during tenure in Oxford.
OXFORD, Miss. — When some coaches hit the lowest point in their careers people often come out of the woodwork with dramatic news via social media.
It’s not usually good, either.
That was never truer than when former Ole Miss head coach Hugh Freeze was called out by former Rebels’ quarterback Bo Wallace for Freeze’s treatment of quarterbacks after Auburn’s 24-14 loss to Arkansas.
“I know that there’s people open and I know that we’re running the football,” Freeze said after the loss to Arkansas. “We’ve got to find a guy that won’t throw it to the other team and we’ve got to find running backs that hold onto [the ball]. The scheme is what most everybody in the country is running, some sort of. But you’ve got to have a good quarterback in whatever system you’re going to choose.”
Quarterbacks Payton Thorne and Hank Brown combined for four of Auburn’s five turnovers Saturday, Wallace had enough that he took to his X account to post about his former coach.
I probably will be too , I won’t notice tho… all the guy did was break my body in half and I played every game getting a numbing shot just to go get him his money …. Then I graduate and can’t do anything to benefit him ….. and he hasn’t helped me ONE TIME !!! That’s the truth… https://t.co/2D0cIWepHg

“We’re approaching the point that he’s thrown so many QBs under the bus, that maybe no one wants to play for him??” Wallace wrote. “His offense helped me tremendously put numbers up when I blew my shoulder out…. But why is it someone else’s fault every time there’s a loss but when there’s a win I watch the press conferences just to count how many times the word “I” is used. [I] appreciate what he did for me, my son wouldn’t be playing for him though.”
Wallace came to Ole Miss by way of East Mississippi Community College after starting his college football career at Arkansas State under Steve Roberts. He signed with the Rebels as a 4-star JUCO prospect and No. 1 dual threat quarterback overall. The 6-foot-5 passer started 39 consecutive games under Freeze’s guidance and accounted for 9,534 yards, 62 touchdowns and 41 interceptions.
“Simply asking why Hugh can’t ever take responsibility,” Wallace added later. “[Freeze] caused the whole Auburn fan base to riot… can you say PANIC BUTTON.”
“But that dude has never helped me a day in his life,” he wrote. “It was always only about getting a win for him so he could collect his extra 100 racks a win. If y’all knew the medications and shots I was taking to get that man his money you wouldn’t believe they would let you walk on a field like that.”

The first four years of Freeze’s tenure at Ole Miss were continually better with each season going from seven wins in 2012, eight in 2013, nine in 2014 and punctuated with 10 victories in 2025. Wallace helped the Rebels defeat Alabama in a thrilling win at home.
“I probably will be too,” Wallace replied to a follower. “I won’t notice though … all the guy did was break my body in half and I played every game getting a numbing shot just to go get him his money… Then I graduate and can’t do anything to benefit him… and he hasn’t helped me ONE TIME!!! That’s the truth about who Hugh Freeze is.”
A second run in the SEC hasn’t been so good to Freeze as he sits 8-9 overall and just 3-6 in SEC play. His time in Oxford was met with negative national attention after he was forced to resign amid “a pattern of personal misconduct” less than two months before the 2017 season began.
Some Auburn fans questioned whether the Tigers’ staff members actually had Wallace’s number. Those are the ones that obviously didn’t do some basic research with logic.
You know I played at ole miss right ??? All the staffers from ole miss that are on auburns staff …. Have my number , I understand you don’t know how to critically think …. Lol , use your brain JUSTTTTTT A LITTLE BIT https://t.co/OIlxDcYd4w

It’s probably a good thing no reunions are being planned at this time we are aware of. Apparently all isn’t the greatest in the world.

Ole Miss to learn plenty with CFP rankings: Rebel Roundup
Your daily briefing on what’s going on with Ole Miss Athletics.

Ole Miss football will get a lot of its questions answered tonight.
The College Football Playoff Committee will release its third edition of its rankings at 6 p.m. tonight on ESPN. The Rebels figure to be included in the committee’s rankings, but where they’re ranked – and more importantly where other teams are ranked – will be telling to how clear the Rebels’ path to a playoff berth is.
The SEC has five teams with two losses and how the committee ranks those teams will determine who just needs to win out and who needs help.
For the Rebels, what will be important to know is where does the committee rank Georgia? How far does Tennessee fall after losing to the Bulldogs? Is LSU fall out of the top 25? How far does South Carolina rise after beating Missouri? Is Ole Miss ranked ahead of BYU (who lost to unranked Kansas, but still in contention for the Big 12 championship)? Where does the highest-ranked Group of 5 team rank?
How the committee answers those questions will go a long way in determining in if Ole Miss simply needs to just win its final two games or needs to rack up style points in those wins?
Of course, a loss will put the Rebels in the same boat as LSU. Out of the playoffs.

With a clear path to the playoff, Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin talks to reporters
The Rebels’ head coach spoke with reporters about a variety of issues.
OXFORD, Miss. – Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin and his players came into the 2024 season with the loftiest goals and highest expectations an Ole Miss team has had since a Manning played quarterback.
Despite a shocking home loss to Kentucky and overtime loss to LSU, the Rebels are still in position to accomplish most of those goals. An conference championship isn’t likely, but a spot in the new 12-team playoff is and the Rebels’ path is crystal clear.
Beat Florida. Beat Mississippi State in the Egg Bowl.
If Ole Miss can win those two games, it should be in the playoff.
With that in mind, Kiffin started the week off with his weekly Monday press conference with reporters and talked about the playoffs and much more.
