ATHENS - Georgia’s has been getting help this season from former Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze.

Freeze has been consulting for Georgia’s football program since August. It is unclear if Freeze has traveled to Athens this fall, or even if he’s being compensated for his work with the Bulldogs.

UGA isued the following statement: "“Hugh Freeze has not been working with the Georgia football team this fall nor has he been compensated for any assistance.”

The former Rebel coach resigned his position in Oxford in July after a “concerning pattern of phone records” was discovered by the administration at Ole Miss. The Rebels are also under scrutiny from NCAA for an alleged violation of that organization’s by-laws, which could result in Ole Miss being hit with sanctions this off season.

Multiple sources in and out of Athens confirmed Freeze’s consulting at UGA to Dawg Post this week.

“Hugh is helping them scheme. That’s all I got,” said one insider.

Another added that Freeze was sent a laptop to help give his input on the Bulldogs.

Another added: “I had no idea (he was helping). They have kept that pretty quiet, but it is true. He’s been helping since August, and he’s still helping right now from what I understand.”

Freeze fielded powerful offenses in his final two seasons in Oxford - particular in 2015. That season 64 Ole Miss team and individual records were broken or tied, including most total yards (6,731), points (531), touchdowns (68) and passing yards (4,351) in a season. Last year the Rebels were the No. 1 passing offense in the SEC even though they were ravaged by injuries.

The No. 6 Bulldogs are set to meet No. 2 Auburn in the SEC Championship Game on Saturday in Atlanta.
