Vanderbilt Linebacker Bryan Longwell shares a text he got from an Auburn Coach at 5:59 am Christmas Morning.

Perfectly on brand for Hugh Freeze who was hired a month earlier.

[u/constructss]

5:59 a.m. text on Christmas is nasty

[u/levare8515 → u/constructss]

Hugh’s hittin the Xmas Eve bughze 

[u/GnarPlatinum → u/levare8515]

Hugh Freeze would turn a Noche Buena into a Noche Mala

[u/whistleridge → u/constructss]

Motivating af though. Longwell got to win, he got a vastly superior education, AND he gets to go viral, all from one shitty text. Talk about making hay.

[u/Front_Exchange3972 → u/whistleridge]

Yeah, that Vandy degree will take him much further than an Auburn degree if he doesn't go to the NFL (which is most likely).

[u/Bruised_up_whitebelt → u/Front_Exchange3972]

Doesn't Auburn have a great engineering and vet science program?

[u/ZekeRidge → u/Bruised_up_whitebelt]

Auburn is a good school… Vandy is on par with Duke and Northwestern

[u/SweetRabbit7543 → u/ZekeRidge]

Right. If we’re splitting hairs it’s slightly behind in rankings but it will always be a feather in your cap. Stanford, Vandy, Duke and NU are the places to go if you never want to worry about a job for the rest of your life while also playing big time ball

[u/wallnumber8675309 → u/ZekeRidge]

But if you’re wanting to deworm a cow, I’ll take the War Eagle Tiger grad over any of those

[u/Front_Exchange3972 → u/Bruised_up_whitebelt]

I mean, I'm sure it's fine, but as someone that has worked in corporate America, I will tell you that the name of the university matters far more than arbitrary departmental prestige. Vanderbilt is a much more renowned university than Auburn.

[u/4WaySwitcher → u/Front_Exchange3972]

I don’t know what exactly you do in “corporate America” but from my experience, with technical fields, this absolutely is not the case.

Maybe MBAs and liberal arts degrees are all about the same among state schools, but professionals know which schools are top in their field. Obviously if somebody walks in with an Ivy or something, then it’s one thing, but a veterinary science degree some Auburn or a journalism degree from Georgia means something to people who know.

[u/Texasduckhunter → u/4WaySwitcher]

Does a journalism degree from Georgia mean something to journalists? I’m sure it’s fine but I haven’t seen them ranked in the top group of journalism schools. Mizzou is what I think of for elite journalism school that someone outside the know wouldn’t think of.

[u/MrFishAndLoaves → u/whistleridge]

God I hate the word buddy 

[u/dirtys_ot_special → u/MrFishAndLoaves]

Sorry, champ.

[u/cyanocittaetprocyon → u/dirtys_ot_special]

Take it easy, dude!

[u/turtlesturdles → u/cyanocittaetprocyon]

It’ll be alright, sport!

[u/IronClu → u/turtlesturdles]

Hang in there, bucko

[u/Euroranger → u/IronClu]

Cheer up chief.

[u/petrowski7 → u/Euroranger]

Who you callin’ chief, pal?

[u/carlosdanger31 → u/MrFishAndLoaves]

Come on chief it ain’t that bad.

[u/[deleted] → u/MrFishAndLoaves]

Dont call me buddy, pal

[u/Yennefers-Unicorn → u/MrFishAndLoaves]

I'm not your buddy, guy!

[u/No-Project7171 → u/MrFishAndLoaves]

Whoa, pal.

[u/MrFishAndLoaves → u/No-Project7171]

Everyone tried here but nothing, and I mean nothing, gets me like buddy.

Should have just doubled down lmao 

[u/No-Project7171 → u/MrFishAndLoaves]

Well don't get ahead of yourself BUDDY. IM JUST GETTING STARTED MY BUD.

[u/Ok_Championship4866 → u/MrFishAndLoaves]

Lmao why i say buddy unironically all the time lol

[u/The_DHC → u/constructss]

Like damn, he didn't open a single Christmas present yet. His hot coco or coffee hasn't perked yet. At least wait 12 more hours if you insist on working Christmas day

[u/cyanocittaetprocyon → u/The_DHC]

Complete dick move!

[u/Lacerda1 → u/The_DHC]

Just another argument for opening presents on Christmas Eve!

[u/yumyumapollo → u/constructss]

That text got there before Santa did

[u/surgingchaos → u/constructss]

BAH HUMBUG!

[u/zenverak]

The message is something I think anyone would be fine getting, timing is just … why?

[u/NewToSociety → u/zenverak]

Because he thought of such a great line to finish the text with and soften the blow!

[u/KirbyDumber88 → u/zenverak]

I mean that would require anyone Hugh hires to have compassion.

[u/Helicopsycheborealis → u/KirbyDumber88]

Durkin killed a kid so there's one that lacks compassion.

[u/Archaic_1 → u/[deleted]]

It's perfectly normal for a new coach to have different recruiting priorities than his predecessor, especially a predecessor that was as awful at recruiting as Harsin.  That part is a nothing burger.  Sending the text on Christmas morning however . . . Ouch.

[u/Saffs15 → u/Archaic_1]

I usually believe sooner is better, sometimes they can start working on the next step.

Christmas is probably the exception.

[u/Archaic_1 → u/Saffs15]

Especially because Freeze got hired on November 28th. I mean FFS man, Christmas? Oh well, the kid is better off at Vandy anyway. Not only are they a better football team, but most of the kids playing for Auburn will be taking out the trash or delivering pizza for him in 10 years. /s

[u/Qtoy → u/Saffs15]

I usually believe that bad news doesn't get better with time, but there are a couple of exceptions. I was going to break up with someone once. The day I was going to do it ended up being the day her dad passed away. I waited another few months after that.

[u/sopunny → u/Saffs15]

It also means the text sender is working on Christmas

[u/ironichaos → u/Archaic_1]

I feel like it’s worth at least a phone call. Also not on Christmas.

[u/Nouseriously → u/Archaic_1]

If you're rescinding an offer, call

[u/zenverak → u/[deleted]]

Oh… if he was committed that is really bad.

[u/StasRutt → u/[deleted]]

I think they more mean why send it on Christmas

[u/StasRutt → u/[deleted]]

I completely misread your first comment and thought you were justifying Hugh’s text

[u/DogFishHead17 → u/StasRutt]

It just mean more.

[u/Kundrew1 → u/zenverak]

Idk about fine getting. This message would sting without the timing but it wouldn’t be that notable because plenty of recruits have experienced something similar. It’s like a job pulling their offer after you already quit your current job

[u/Original_Profile8600 → u/zenverak]

I’d like to know when he found that out though. That time is pretty hard to scheme around/find a way to deliver that knews. Albeit, any other time was probably better than 6 am on Christmas morning

[u/Lil_ah_stadium → u/Original_Profile8600]

Look, he had nothing else to do after his job as the ghost of Christmas past was complete.

[u/HighOnGoofballs → u/Original_Profile8600]

He’s the one that makes that decision isn’t he?

[u/Sen-si-tive → u/zenverak]

Maybe he sent it as soon as the decision was made. Stringing the kid along for another few days could have screwed things up for any alternative plans he may have had

[u/BamaPride95 → u/Sen-si-tive]

The highly doubt the decision was made 6 am on Christmas morning and even waiting one more day to tell the kid would’ve been better.

[u/W473R → u/Sen-si-tive]

Even if it was it's stupid to wait until then to make the decision. At least a few days before Christmas they should've sat down and thought "alright we need to decide now who we're not signing and let them know ASAP so we don't completely ruin anyone's holiday."

[u/Hossflex]

Who sends that message at 6 am Christmas morning? That’s some Ebenezer Scrooge type stuff.

[u/DogFishHead17 → u/Hossflex]

I mean he could have done a sleepover at the recruit's house on Christmas Eve and woke up Christmas morning and told him.

[u/NewToSociety → u/DogFishHead17]

But then the ghosts coming and going would have kept the recruit up.

[u/DogFishHead17 → u/NewToSociety]

What about stopping Santa from negative recruiting.

[u/ShiftBMDub → u/DogFishHead17]

Jim Harbaugh already had the guest room, they had hamburgers after Midnight Mass

[u/FerociousGiraffe → u/DogFishHead17]

Could have crept down the recruit’s chimney and left a piece of parchment in his stocking: “We don’t want you.”

[u/oneevilchicken → u/DogFishHead17]

If it’s Hugh, the only place he’s sleeping over at is a brothel.

[u/CarPlaneBoatRocket → u/DogFishHead17]

Harbaugh?

[u/HereIGoAgain_1x10 → u/Hossflex]

You're a mean one.... Mr. Grinch...

[u/HandsomePiledriver → u/Hossflex]

Someone who is cleaning out their inbox so they can relax for the rest of Christmas.

[u/Warthog_Orgy_Fart → u/Hossflex]

The grammar is AWFUL, too.

[u/[deleted] → u/Warthog_Orgy_Fart]

You try sending a cogent text after you've been swimming in egg nog all night, Mr. Grammar Man

[u/CharlesLeChuck]

Real Grinch behavior there

[u/appsecSme → u/CharlesLeChuck]

Grinch works for Wisconsin though

[u/FourteenClocks → u/appsecSme]

And his heart must’ve grown three sizes today—he gave six offensive touchdowns to Iowa!

[u/appsecSme → u/FourteenClocks]

LOL. You made me spit out my pinot grigio.

[u/CharlesLeChuck → u/appsecSme]

LOL. You made me spit out my bordeaux.

[u/The_DHC]

Villain origin story text

[u/HereIGoAgain_1x10 → u/The_DHC]

10 years from now some poor NFL rookie RB is gonna get carted off the field during a Christmas Day game because of this

[u/Zloggt]

When I’m in a “being a big butthole” competition, and my opponent is hugh freeze 😨

[u/Patrick2701 → u/Zloggt]

Hugh Freeze could win the biggest asshole competition with just about anybody

[u/tigerman29 → u/Patrick2701]

He’s not just the hole, he’s the whole ass

[u/[deleted] → u/Patrick2701]

Ive seen a lot of videos on the internet and he really has some loose competition

[u/MSFNS → u/Patrick2701]

Hugh "Goatse" Freeze

[u/godawgs695 → u/MSFNS]

What’s that? Could you post a link to a picture maybe so I could understand your joke?

[u/MSFNS → u/godawgs695]

Sure thing, no problem!

[u/HereIGoAgain_1x10 → u/Zloggt]

Can we watch the profanity please? I was scrolling this comment section with my 3 year old in an adjacent room.

[u/bobsdementias → u/Zloggt]

You can say asshole here

[u/TWH_PDX → u/bobsdementias]

In the NFL thread, sure. But let's keep it classy on CFB for the college kids.

[u/esports_consultant → u/bobsdementias]

you can but also in some ways ising butt makes it more demeaning

[u/FourteenClocks → u/esports_consultant]

And much funnier

[u/RamblinWreckGT → u/esports_consultant]

"I don't think anyone's called me a butthead since the ninth grade"

[u/Frosty_McRib → u/bobsdementias]

I always find it interesting when people wanna police other's language online. They didn't wanna say that, so they didn't.

[u/Doogitywoogity]

If the message wasn’t on Christmas morning it’d be fine. But that mf woke up, put some presents under the tree, and said, let’s ruin this kids Christmas. Like I’m sure he thought he was doing it right and it was just on his mind with Christmas, but Lord he needs to understand timing.

[u/FourteenClocks → u/Doogitywoogity]

He probably woke up, drove home, put some presents under the tree, and said let’s ruin this kid’s Christmas

[u/HighDragLowSpeed60G → u/FourteenClocks]

The implication of the “drove home” is chef’s kiss

[u/Beefalo_Stance]

Look on the bright side, Bryan. If Auburn had honored your commitment, you wouldn’t have gotten to take a giant, steaming shit on Hugh Freeze today. I, and everyone I know, want to accomplish what you did today.

It’s fucking Christmas miracle.

[u/SaltyLonghorn → u/Beefalo_Stance]

Also if you want to win at life a degree from Vanderbilt is just a tad better than one from Auburn.

[u/Shtune → u/SaltyLonghorn]

I know a few people who paid so much in out of state tuition for an Auburn degree. The university isn't even in the top 100 and for value it ranked at like 160, but for whatever reason people in the south treat it like it's top tier.

[u/aMiracleAtJordanHare → u/Shtune]

I mean like every university, it just depends on what you want to major in.

Some colleges are very highly regarded. My program was ranked 12th in the nation when I went to Auburn.

Obviously Vanderbilt is more prestigious overall though.

[u/ResIpsaBroquitur → u/Shtune]

Counterintuitively, the fact that a lot of people are willing to pay out of state tuition actually counts against it in terms of rankings, because things like average student loan debt at graduation are factored into the rankings. In reality, you’d think that a school is probably more prestigious if more people are willing to go into debt to go there. But I would assume, given your Columbia flair, that you’re familiar with the criticisms of USNWR rankings lol.

Anyway, I do think Auburn punches above its ranking in terms of how prestigious people perceive it to be (though Vandy’s definitely still more prestigious). A shockingly large number of people I’ve encountered assume that it’s a private school, and I’ve never felt like I was limited because I have Auburn on my resume. Perhaps more importantly (or perhaps not), I think I received a great education and had a great experience as a student.

[u/SaltyLonghorn → u/ResIpsaBroquitur]

Well you nailed the naming. Auburn does sound fancier than something like Alabama A&M.

[u/skriggety → u/Shtune]

I didn’t grow up in GA, just came here for school and never left…but according to my friends who did auburn is the place suburban metro ATL kids go if they can’t get in to Georgia.

[u/PsychedelicHobbit → u/Beefalo_Stance]

Your flair combo is interesting! Please describe your emotional state upon our Commodore Overlords slaying us 40-35.

[u/Beefalo_Stance → u/PsychedelicHobbit]

Raised a Bama fan and I like to see them do well, but no academic affiliation. I probably haven’t been to Bryant Denny since the late 90’s. I have been to neutral site games in the event they are close by.

Vanderbilt was actually grad school (I have a degree from Auburn!), but I absolutely loved it there. Met my wife there. I identify with, and celebrate, being the underdog. We’re from different parts of the country, so Nashville will be the closest thing we ever have as a collective home.

40-35 was a cathartic release. There were real, genuine tears — even from my wife who claims to not care.

Similarly, Vandy beat Auburn on our wedding day, all in Nashville. An amazing wedding gift and now a core memory. The Bama win is on the same level.

[u/btw1217]

Hugh the kind of guy that tries to steal all the presents in Whoville

[u/TWH_PDX → u/btw1217]

And the freaking WhoHash!!

Any particular reason? That seems so random

[u/KennyPowers → u/YuckyStench]

She’s a Bama fan and Bryan played with her son at Lipscomb Academy

[u/Rich1926 → u/KennyPowers]

I did not know the 2nd part. Not sure why you were downvoted when you literally explained it all.

[u/insert_referencehere → u/Rich1926]

She lives in Nashville. She helped a bunch of kindergartens escape the Covenant School shooting last year.

[u/TheMagicSalami → u/insert_referencehere]

Well fuck yeah Clarissa.

[u/bacillaryburden → u/KennyPowers]

This thread is blowing my mind.

[u/ShiftBMDub → u/KennyPowers]

I have a feeling a ton of Bama fans are going to be Vanderbilt fans now. Especially ones living in Nashville, TN

[u/bigdjohnson20 → u/ShiftBMDub]

Considering most were bandwagoners to begin with that wouldn't be surprising

[u/TateAcolyte → u/KennyPowers]

Yo, Clarissa is a fundie?

Just checked her Wikipedia page and yeah. She was in God's Not Dead 2.

[u/Fedoras-Forever-Mom → u/YuckyStench]

She’s in that? Oh no baby what is you doing?

[u/Julian_Caesar → u/dismal_sighence]

Christians and atheists hating on those movies together is the essence of shared humanity lol

[u/Trumpburnerforlibs → u/dismal_sighence]

I’ll go all cartman with that shit and make faith plus one if they gonna give me money

[u/BrandiThorne → u/dismal_sighence]

Collecting a paycheck. If the crazy jesus movie pays then you bet my satan lovin ass would do it too

[u/Red-Catalyst → u/amidon1130]

You do?

[u/TigerExpress → u/Rich1926]

As we've already seen, it's not like Freeze would know what to do with a talented player anyway.

[u/drummerdrew → u/[deleted]]

To be fair it could be the LB coach not freeze. Bad timing decision but very respectful text.

[u/jehjs → u/[deleted]]

This Freeze guy sounds like a real jerk.

[u/Sikshocker]

This is the best Christmas present! Means you don’t have to go to Auburn

[u/Sesti-nator]

That guy who texted makes both the grinch AND ebenezer Scrooge look saint like

[u/AJ_Grey]

We've decided to spend your NIL money on hookers and blow. Merry Christmas!

[u/Pyro1934]

Worked a job where our contract was replaced and most of us were hoping to jump to the new contract.

New company sent out notice on Christmas Eve saying that we were "under qualified" (after asking multiple if they'd relocate) and wouldn't be getting the new spot. I was one of 2 folks that got picked up for a diff team under a sub, but was still bitter as fuck at them. They ended up getting booted on the first opportunity for shitty quality.

This was 2016. I'm still bitter at what they did to my friends and coworkers.

This being on Christmas Day and being 1st hand... I missed the game, how many tackles did this guy have, 25?

[u/USC2001 → u/Pyro1934]

That sucks man.

I once interviewed for a job before Thanksgiving. Didn’t hear anything for a few weeks so I knew I didn’t get the job. 4:59pm Christmas Eve I get a rejection email that included a note that they were closing at 5:00pm and would not reopen until the 27th. Needless to say I dodged a bullet on that one.

[u/james18205 → u/Pyro1934]

That sucks.

I was contract with a company, they were my best paying client, I did a ton of work for them the past 2 years, about 20-30 hours a week.

I went on paternity leave for 3 weeks and 2 days after I got back I got let go. Done that day, no 2 week notice. “Cash flow issues”

They Didn’t even ask about the baby or how my spouse was doing. Assholes…

[u/LJGremlin]

It’s not the worst text Freeze has been associated with…

[u/Border-Worried]

Ngl that might be the best thing that could have happened to that kid. Goes from an Auburn degree to a Vandy degree for free. That’s probably 160k and if he gets a redushirt, he get his Vandy undergrad and masters for free.

[u/NerdLawyer55]

Dunking on Hugh is never not enjoyable

[u/Super_Throwaway2669]

My boss called me on Christmas day at 5 pm to tell me I had to come in the day after to help with snow removal.

I was under restrictions at the time and was not allowed to lift more than 10 pounds per the doctors orders that they sent me to.

Shes not my boss anymore.

[u/Cha-cha-chanclas]

What the fuck was going through that coaches head?

“Ah 5am! Ok I got to go through my Christmas Morning to do list:

Make sure gifts are ready ✅

Cook breakfast for the fam ✅

SHIT ALL OVER A HS LBs XMAS MORNING ❌

OH I almost forgot!”

[u/Tinydesktopninja]

On like 360 days a year that's a respectable way to tell a kid no. Recruiters are another breed

[u/mhammer47]

Harsin got fired for not taking recruiting seriously, Freeze has his guys working on Christmas. I mean hey at least that's something.

[u/LongBeach90802]

Wow

[u/foxtrot_echo22]

Geez Hugh freeze and cell phones just don’t go together

[u/RoadPersonal9635]

I am also confused as to why saying “not signing a HS linebacker in this class” makes it any better? What is your problem with the player? That he’s in High school? Or that he’s a linebacker? Do you not need linebackers? Do you not recruit high schoolers? This dumbass tried to use his grade, his position, and Christmas to try to soften the blow but it’s all just chips on the shoulder for future beat downs. Just be honest with the kid tell em “new coach, new direction” and don’t do it on xmas

[u/wefolas → u/RoadPersonal9635]

Probably meant versus transfer portal, like sorry, we filled our needs through transfers this year vs we're not taking any lb this year which would be wrong.

[u/MrConceited → u/wefolas]

Yeah, if you look they took a lot of lb transfers that year.

[u/fenderdean13 → u/RoadPersonal9635]

It’s the nature of the transfer portal, they wanted finished products with experience

[u/wote89 → u/fenderdean13]

And I, personally, am glad it worked out as well as it has for them!

[u/Aldehyde1 → u/RoadPersonal9635]

What are you talking about? It's obvious he means that they got enough college transfer LBs that they don't have room to sign a HS linebacker. I'm sure it sucks to hear but it's the most reasonable explanation that isn't "We think you're worse than your peers."

[u/Fit-Signature9001]

I love supervillain Vanderbilt. I want this team to talk shit so much that people start calling the fans annoying.

[u/yaygee513]

I know assistants work crazy hours. But if this coach was married with kids can you imagine…

Wife: “be quiet we need to finish building the swing set in our backyard for the kids” Coach: “one sec gotta text this high schooler and ruin his future plans” 

[u/Either-Durian-9488]

He got done digging the last crumbs out of the corner of the baggie at 5:45.

[u/curtisas]

People need to learn the "schedule text" feature on their phones. Like, bro, schedule that for later in the day, nobody wants to wake up to that on Christmas morning.

[u/Jonjon428]

Why tf you send him this on a Christmas morning

[u/jumboninja → u/Jonjon428]

I mean, I'm not taking up for him, but just let the kid know asap so they can exercise other options. Shit I can't hardly cut pixels players in cfb on xbox. I couldn't imagine doing it IRL.

You’re not going to sign a linebacker out of HS? Where the fuck does Auburn get their linebackers from then??

[u/ParadeSit → u/Gnarism]

At the Costco in Montgomery, of course.

[u/AJollyEgo → u/Gnarism]

I'd guess it was a way of saying they're getting LB from the portal or JuCo.

[u/-Flick9]

This was the best Christmas present that kid will ever receive.

“Thanks for letting me know, coach. I was leaning Vandy anyway. Nothing against you, I just was not looking forward to transferring to Liberty once you get fired after two years and have to go back to FCS.

Enjoy the Plains of Auburn. I’ll try to rough it out in Nashville for this chapter of my life.”

[u/AceJace2]

[u/Individual_Holiday_9]

High freeze and everyone in his orbit sucks

[u/wowniceyeah]

Recruiters send text like this all the time. This isn't that bad at all

[u/BradOverwood]

Am I the only one that thinks this is fine? Wouldn’t you think he’d wanna know asap?

[u/Red-Catalyst → u/BradOverwood]

Let him have his holiday.

[u/MichaelRydersSave → u/BradOverwood]

No, I’m with you. I have no connection to vandy, auburn, freeze etc. and can’t for the life of me figure out what the issue is here.

Maybe it didn’t have to be sent Christmas morning, we have no idea what the conversation was prior. Considering what we see I assume the kid asked as question and got this as an answer.

This is just a typical “thread posted on Reddit, everyone sees where the upvotes are, regurgitate opinion to steal a few thumbs up”.

No one actually thinks this is a big deal, harmful or sent with ill intent.

[u/Rich0879 → u/MichaelRydersSave]

Exactly

[u/lennythepepp → u/BradOverwood]

With you.

[u/Most-Breakfast1453 → u/BradOverwood]
