I think Coach Freeman has it figured out and could care less about the espn race bait issue. If he thought like many other coaches he wouldn't have the number of white players starting or much less even on the team. He is so much better than Brian Kelly.

Getting back to what started all this, Is Hattiesburg a more/less desirable job than say Starkville or other schools? There is no doubt that discipline is a problem and has probably kept them from a State championship. They've had the talent to do it. Coaches at every school have to deal with it. Have a super talented but undisciplined player, coach would either run them to death, grab the facemask, yell, or send out of practice. Sometimes it works, but when you have too many of those, you can't spend that much time of your practice dealing with it, when you need to be installing and running plays over and over and over again. Vance was not dumb and realized at some point, that is the cards he was dealt. That's why we saw the sideline antics, coming out to the hash marks, working the refs from the 1st QTR on, with the assistant coaches following suit. And it worked. Hattiesburg beat some pretty good teams to get to The Rock this year, (not Picayune, that was stolen, but Hattiesburg did play well enough to benefit at the end...). They will get a good coach though, but let's not make them out to be the most desirable job in the state. It's just not.
