Freeze went 39-25 during five seasons as Ole Miss' head coach before being forced to resign from the position in the wake of a scandal in which he made calls to a Tampa escort service using a school-issued phone. That incident took place amid a long, ongoing NCAA investigation that led to multiple penalties against the university.

Freeze is currently serving a one-year restriction penalty as head coach, which followed the NCAA's ruling. However, he can become an assistant coach immediately should a position become available.

The Tigers have been looking for a new offensive coordinator since Josh Heupel accepted the UCF head coaching position last week.
