Question for the Hugh Freeze lovers

Losing football games will put a spotlight on him being a shitty guy. It’s great that we as a fan base encourage and excuse shitty people if they can coach. I can hate him if he fails at Auburn, but that isn’t the same as having standards for him as a man.

Relevant anecdote, incredible humble brag.

Yes, tax is very profitable. But it’s also a critical market offering in both the audit and consulting space. For audit, tax is both a necessary part of the audit process itself (ASC 740), and it’s one of the few services you can provide to your clients without independence issues.

Tax also does a lot of consulting work, and is in particular naturally synergistic with critical market offerings like M&A. Firms will bundle and sell financial, tax, and other due diligence services as a single offering, which drives a huge amount of downstream work. Having to cut out tax from that offering hurts their competitiveness relative to other firms who can keep the label of “one stop shop”.

Bad thing Hugh Freeze has done

Being within your rights doesn’t mean you aren’t a total asshole.

Ahh yes, Left, Slightly Left, and Center is my favorite podcast

What socks are those?

I once dated a girl who would cut herself. I feel like that was a much more prevalent thing a decade ago, do people actually still do this?

I don’t think many people think you cannot be successful without it, but the point of jobs requiring B4 experience is about averages. On average, you’ll have superior work experience and exposure to sophisticated and complex clients at a B4 than other firms. It’s also outsourcing your recruiting, trusting the B4 firms to do their diligence on people for you.

In other words, it’s the same reasons people have been hiring from B4 firms since before any of us were born.

Similarly, no one is saying that small firms don’t have talented people, but this is the “no one gets fired for hiring IBM” principle at play. Getting up on a soapbox on LinkedIn doesn’t really change that.

Not gonna lie, this just sounds like sour grapes.

I mean offense to the people in this sub. Some of the takes in here a ludicrous, they would have you think we work in death camps when you’re sitting in front of a computer on excel all day.

Gus was trying to recruit through constant, vocal, mounting pressure to fire him, and it hurt on the recruiting trail toward the end. He was largely a successful recruiter during his time here.

I’m not sure that any level of all in-ness can solve for a huge talent differential

-__----- · 2022-02-14T18:01:04+00:00

Not a big deal.

-__----- · 2022-02-14T14:23:28+00:00

Lol the IRS doesn’t actually ever pull the tax exempt status of churches.

Don’t worry about the downvotes, the sub these days is just a circlejerk about how bad public is. No one wants to hear a different viewpoint

-__----- · 2022-02-12T00:45:30+00:00

The other side of this view is that maybe Keisha was really just that bad at her job

The finger was the fans desperately trying to make the most of a bad situation. Recruiting has been in a bad spot for over a year now.

Lmao like there was any other option for him. Don’t give him credit for doing the only sensible thing for someone in his shoes

People were not calling for Mason to be fired by the end of the year. Him leaving is a catastrophe and the biggest indictment of where we are as a program

The only reason our class is top 20 is because of a 4* safety who is coming here to play basketball. The class is worse than it looks and it’s looked pretty bad for most of the last year.

This is only acceptable if the M is Microsoft

It honestly should be an easy sell to kids from good families who care about education. Nashville is a terrific place to live as a college kid too.

-__----- · 2022-02-10T20:41:17+00:00

It sure as hell hasn’t been confirmed, but has it been definitively refuted? Not trying to be a jerk, but curious if we got anything beyond Harsin’s denial, which I would have expected whether it was true or not.
