There will be a lot of people that scoff at the idea of Hugh Freeze as a life coach, and rightfully so. After all, we are talking about a guy that got fired as a coach because he's not at all ethical as it pertains to life. Seeing as he's less than a year removed being found out as paying for both players and prostitutes while on the recruiting trail, you don't have to do too much digging to find a reason to suspect that he might not have all that much clout as a lecturer of lawful and lust-less living. What he does have, presumably, is enough local celebrity to charge vulnerable and damaged football fans an egregious sum of money to essentially accompany him through rehab. Say what you want about the moralistic merits of the special guest of this "faith-based retreat", but - assuming more than a handful of people pay to be preached at poolside - you can't say that he doesn't know how to leverage his past into a much bigger future. That's more of a spot-on a description of this inexplicably exorbitant endeavor than I could have ever dreamt up. If only throughout that one tagline, there was no false advertisement there! If a recently disgraced college football coach is able to make a couple thousand dollars out of little to no sense then, if nothing else, he has what it takes to grease the wheels in profiting off "personal growth". The idea that you'll come out on the other side of a weekend long spa sermon from a snake-oil salesman with a cleansed soul and a reinvigorated perspective is laughable to see the least. Though, for what it's worth (which is apparently between $3,000 and $4,000), if failing is the fastest route to learning then Hugh Freeze might be the most educated of expert in every single objective on that checklist. Still not sure I'd trust him, of all people, to teach them to anyone, but I guess that's why they are calling it a faith-based retreat.
