Mississippi confirms Freeze takes coaching job

By The Associated Press
OXFORD, Miss. -- Mississippi has confirmed that Hugh Freeze is the program's new football coach.

He will be introduced during a news conference on campus later Monday. The 42-year-old Freeze led Arkansas State to the 2011 Sun Belt Conference championship and 10-2 record in his first season as a coach at the Football Bowl Subdivision level. It was the Red Wolves' first 10-win season since joining the FBS.

Freeze is from Senatobia, Miss., and served as an assistant under then-Ole Miss coach Ed Orgeron from 2005-'07. During that time, he coached receivers, tight ends and also served as the program's recruiting coordinator. He had a 20-5 record as head coach at NAIA-level Lambuth (Tenn.) in 2008 and `09.

Freeze came to Arkansas State as the offensive coordinator in 2010.
